Restraint

to cure a man of various disorders. Cold Bathing
in a cold bath or in the sea to set cure him
of a relaxed habit of body.

Restrictive punishment then may prevent a man
from obtaining pleasures; or it may prevent
him from preventing pains.

If a man were as to go in quest of pleasure
it is not absolutely certain that he would find it:
much less is of certain that staying where he
is, pleasure would come to him.

If he were to go in quest of or the means of security, it is
not absolutely certain that he would find it them: much
less be is it certain that the means of security would
come to him.

Supposing then the pleasures in question to be
pleasures of the body: and the pains in question
pains of the body, what the painspleasures of the body that
he loses, and the pains of the body that he incurrs, are
but contingent pains: so far then the evil he
incurrs is not actual pain but danger.

But if he reflects, as every person in such a
situation who is in his senses will reflect upon
these dangers, upon those contingent pleasures as
lost, upon those contingent pains as became probable being probably about
to be incurred, such reflection will give him a pain
of mind that will be a present pain.

The mischief evil then a man is subjected to by punishment
of the restrictive kind may consists of distant pains
of the body and mind more or less distant and contingent
less
