Indirect Legislation
Inclination § 3
Evil inclinations not
to be removed by
internal applications
§ 5
DoDogs may by wormed: dogs, bulls, hogs
Dogs, by worming, it is said are saved from running
mad: bulls and horses are render'd gentle by castration.
In considering the expedients
that apply to the
inclination, we may keep
the distinction between ab
intra & ab extra still
in mind
When the Angel Gabriel prepared the
prophet Mahomet for his apostolic mission, he cast
out of his heart the black speck which was the seed
of evil. or this When the prophet Mahomet
prepared
for
he cast out of his heart the seed black speck, which
was the seed of evil. But in hearts of ordinary mould
[this operation is not practicable:] [the seeds of good
and the seeds of evil are inextricably intermingled: or
rather] good and evil grow out of the same stock.
The causes by which inclination is governed are
motives : and which motives are but so many lots of pleasure and
pain acting in that shape. But the same motive
according as it is applied itself is capable of giving birth to all manner of
effects, the best as well as the worst: the phrases
good motives and bad motives if consider'd as
expressive of any thing but the application are ill-
grounded and illusive. If indeed the distinction between
carnal affections and spiritual had its archetype in
truth
had a meaning were real and intelligible
foundation in human nature reality , and by carnal were
meant synonymous mischi pernicious, and by spiritual salutory, the way to keep the
inclination to its right
track
the business of the legislator would be to con
eradicate the one and to confirm the other: but this is
