Logic
1. Sympathetic sanction continuable for of all so sanctions in
2. Its hinder it not from being added to the list of the sanction
Taken in the aggregate, the four preceding sanctions may
with reference and in contradistinction to this sanction – to the sympathetic
sanction, be termed purely self-regarding ones.
The influence of this sympathetic sanction i.e. of the pleasures and
pains belonging to this sanction, corresponds to and is co-extensive
with that of the four all the purely self-regarding ones.
A person dear to me presents himself to my conception
as in danger of being made to in suffering or eventually about to suffer pain: by the love
I bear to him, I am impelled to do what may be in
my power towards relieving or exempting him from it.
That pain may be a pain desi inflicted by the power
of any one of those four sanctions: or it be an evil composed
of so many distinguishable pains inflicted by the powers
of every one of them.
Take for example the habit of drunkenness. By it that
weakness it may happen to the same man to be subjected to bodily suffering
in an a great variety of forms all comprized under the general
denomination of ill-health: here we have the pain of it physical
sanction. It may happen to him to be exposed to public
shame, and by that means to lose sink in the esteem of his
friends and acquaintances: it may happen to him to here we have the pain of the popular
or moral sanction: 3. it may happen to him to lose some
office more or less members as honourable of which he is
in possession or expectation of: 4. it may happen to
here we have the pain of the political sanction ⊞ ⊞ either or the scandal
of the exposure, or for
some injuries done
to individuals or
other excesses committed
one in some
paroxysm produced
by the . it
ma happen to him to be subjected to punishment at
the hands of the law, here we have the pain of the legal
part branch of the political sanction. 4. it may happen to
him to be tormented with apprehension of punishment
her about to be administered to him by the hand of the
almighty in a life to come: here we have the pain of
the religious sanction.
