as act upon his will, causing him to forbear doing that from
which ( by the supposition ) he is restrained. Where restrictive punishment

a pleasure to him, is the immediate author of his own pain.
Now then what motive is there that can prompt him to become
so? There are but two: the hope of more than equivalent pleasure;
or the fear of greater pain. As to pleasure that is out of
the question : for were that the motive the effect would not be of the work process
punishment. The motive therefore can be no other that then fear
of greater pain. This greater pain (which may be called the subsidary
punishment
t) cannot be another punishment of [the
restrictive class] thus produced, at least the ultimate link in such
a chain of punishments can never be a punishment [of this class]
thus produced, since one of this class when thus produced, can
never have any effect at all, unless a greater be beyond it.
