§. Offences collectively §. 2. Good and Evil progress.

All law supposes obligation: all obligation, punishment:
all punishment, pain or the absence of pleasure.
And so all morality.

Good is either employed to denote either pleasure
or the absence of pain, or the a cause of either or both.

Evil is employed to denote either pain or the
absence of pleasure, or a cause of both.

Happiness is good pleasure considered as existing in a
large quantity: whether the largeness be the result of
the intensity of the pleasure, or the length of its duration, or of the mainten
multitude of those the individuals who are considered as particulars
in it.

Synonymous to happiness are 1. felicity

Unhappiness is evil pain considered as existing in
large quantity: whether the largeness be considered as
the result of the intensity of the pain, of the length of its duration,
or of the multitude of the individuals who are considered
as particulars in it.

Pleasure is perpetually operating both as an
end and as a means. John is perpetually at work
to the end that he may obtain pleasure. Having Concerning himself on
this or that occasion, to have need of some service at
the hands of Thomas, he sets himself to the existing in
the breast of Thomas the eventual hope of pleasure:
the hope of his receiving pleasure, or what comes to the
the same thing the sure cause of it, in the event of his
rendering the service so regarded as needed.

John has bread and has a desire for meat. Thomas
has meat and has a desire for bread. This John in order to
obtain from Thomas a pound of meat, gives him so many
pounds of bread. Thomas in order to obtain so many pounds of
bread gives John a pound of meat. Each thus renders a service to the
other, each receives
a service from the other.
Each finds in the deed
of the other, and the
means of gratifying
and thus attaining his own end.
