where the persuasion
is already adopted
matter it is not in the power of punishment to make cause
him really to alter it is a proposition than which nothing
can be more incontestible (a) It would rather confirm
him in it: partly by the tacit confession of the want of reasons which force
so applied carries with it of the want of reasons;
and partly by the aversion which it creates towards
that the arguments if any which militate on that one side of the question which it the supports:
The only point then which it is possible for punishment
when thus applied to compass, and indeed
in point of fact the only point to the compassing of which punishment
has ever been applied is the obliging causing a man
to say declare that he believes the proposition in question.

Evils resulting from
such falsehood are
1. the pain of ignominy.
2. the
of the force
of the moral sanction
This being the case either he refuses to make
the declaration that is required of him, or he de-
-clares

NOTE
That fear of power can not
directly influence
belief
If any one should be feel himself disposed to dispute doubt of this, I would
propose to him the following experiment; if such it
may be called, where the facts in question exemplified are in
the very essence of them hypothetical. Let him Go
into any room in which there is one and but one table: that
is what to him you after having examined it appears
to be one and but one table. Now let him then consider
whether if a man stronger than himself you were
to come and threaten him you that unless he you believed
that in that room instead of one table there were
four three he you should be soundly beaten, it would could be possible
for that man you that man by all the beating he could give you to
cause you really to believe that in that room there were
really four tables. Or to come to a test which belongs
