Organical pain out of the question there
are two ways in which a man may be disadvantageously
affected by Reformation: by being

disgust: or by being rendered on a moral account

certain unpleasing physical qualities, only
having it testified of him that he was endowed
already with certain unpleasing moral
qualities: in a word by loss of beauty or loss
of reputation: the efficacy of the punishment
deriving its effect on the one case from natural
& universal principles, in the other from
local & positive institution.

object of disgust or producing & using and without producing except in a very slight degree organical pain. The punishment I mean
is that of Stigmatization. By stigmatization a
trifling change of colour is produced no more
than what is just sufficient for a walk: the
design of this walk is to testify that the patient
has committed some act of the number of those
that to which men are accustomed to annex contempt,
& the effect is to diminish their good will towards
the person contemned the foundation of all
the voluntary and gratuitous services that
men are the with habit of doing each other.
Now, on the state of mutual dependance in from the constant need that we have of the good effect
