Knowledge § 5
Knowledge subservient
either to
inclination or to
power — its it
encreases the inducements
or the
means.
Knowledge, though commonly mentioned apart
from power, is [in truth] a branch a part at least of power:
a branch of that power of which the seat is in the
mind. Before a man can do an act, there are
two things he must know: the inducements which
there are for his doing it, and the means he has of doing
it: knowledge accordingly is either of the inducements
or of the means: the first he must
possess in order to possess the inclination: the latter,

which men commonly most frequently have in view, where
knowledge is spoken of as the instrument of
vice.

I mention for this purpose only, in order to shew
that nothing is to be done: lest it should be thought
that advantages have been passed over which
might have been laid hold of.]
