Disablement. Evils

It is impossible on a subject like this to be very
particular: we must content ourselves with a
few general and imperfect lights. To enumerate
separately all the pleasures which each member is capable may be instrumental
in of procuring, and all the pains to which by the disablement
of it a man may stand exposed, is
absolutely impracticable. For there is no one member
that is of any use at all but may nor be instrumental in procuring
all sorts of pleasures and in warding off all
sorts of pains. This we shall presently make
appear. What particular individual pleasures it shall
eventually be a means of procuring a (given person)
man, what individual pains it shall serve
eventually to ward off if preserved to him, depends
upon a multitude of unfa contingencies
unfathomable to human foresight [& penetration] [eyes]. The detriment
therefore which a man may suffer by the disablement
of any one such member lies altogether
out of reach of calculation. To pursue go through therefore
any regular deduction statement⊞ ⊞ of the absolute and comparative mischief, that result resulting from the loss of those members is impossible: we
must content ourselves to with bringing to view a
few scatter'd observations.

With regard to such members as are merely organs
of life the disablement of them (which with
respect to such are whose functions are necessary organs of to the
support of life can be only temporary) is not in
itself
