our point however is gained nor that an unimportant
one by proving the extreme uncertainty
of the quantity of pain produced by some in particular of three several
modes of punishment. This piece of information speculation
we shall have occasion to apply &
practise in the succeeding book.

We must give up altogether the idea of numbering
summing up several kinds, & Different lots of pain
which the several punishments in question are
of a nature liable to produce. We cannot ever hope to draw
a circle round them narrower than that vague and universal
circle one which includes all kinds of pain
evil whatsoever. This universality in the effects of each
obliterates the distinction between the effects of
any one of them and those of another. We can not say of
any one of them that it produces any final can not be a means of producing
effects which any other does not produce. All
we can say is that of those effects there are
some which such or such a an one of those modes of punishment
is certain to produce; for the producing of
which the others have only a chance more or less remote:
there are others again which, though
there be no absolute certainty in the , one
of those punishments has a less Greater chance of
providing than another.
