IV. Superfluity.
Applied to the same
person and the same
occasion, superfluity
excludes insufficiency

IV. Superfluity is in its nature Superfluity is opposite
to and excludes insufficiency: accordingly with reference
to one and the same individual person, in the character
of a motive an incentive designed to produce on his part exertions
tending to the production of the same effect, the same portion
of the matter of reward can not be insufficient and superfluous

to different persons on
the same occasion,
or the same person

But But what may very easily happen a state of things altogether capable of being
realized with perfect facility, is that, as between two persons

to the same amount are necessary, and that

of the desired effect the performance of the service depends.
But in this same case the quantity of reward obtainable by those exertions
shall in two different cases instances <add>occasions be different: and
in such sort that in one of the cases instances it shall be
sufficient, and the effect produced accordingly - but in the
other insufficient, and the effect accordingly not produced.
