Ch. II. Good and Evil
§.
9.
6. Agricola, ignorant
of the theft, Rapax on
the watch for fresh
depredation: here,
danger without alarm.
10.
Rapax has fled never
to return: the theft is
known: here is alarm
without danger.
11.
8. The thefts frequent,
and consequent alarm
so great, that the neighbours
dispose of their
flocks, and quit the
country in despair.
Here is evil of the 3d
order.
12.
II. Now comes exemplification
of ultimate
good, from an act
producing evil of the
first order.
13.
9. Rapax caught and
beaten — so far evil of
the 1st order.
14.
10. His fellow depredators
hear of the beating.
Here is alarm &
danger of similar
pain to them. So far
evil of the 2d order
also.
15.
11. But the effects of
the 3d order are to prevent
the future commission
of the same
act. Now it is, that
the effect is entirely
good.
Ch. II. Good and Evil.
§.

III. In some cases,
good in every stage
is the result of the
act — Example — where
reward is aptly and
deservedly given.
