Indirect Legislation § 5
Benevolence
6
To rectify its bias
or direction often
the pre-eminence
of enlarged benevolence
was confined.
Next with regard to the measures to be taken
for keeping the force of this principle in a right
direction. The main point object here is to keep the
sentiment if one may so say to a proper degree
of expansion enlargement. I prefer said Fenelon + + my family to myself
my friends to my family, and my country to
my friends. [This is the text which on the present occasion the legislator
on the present occasion will have to preach
upon.] Oftentimes when men err in the direction
given to their benevolence, the fault lies not so
much in their affections as in their understand.
[[It is for] Let the Let it be the business of the legislator then [to set them right. Let
then him shew them where [how easily it may happen
that] beneficence ill applied counteracts it's own
purposes. Let them shew then for example what
mischief is done by making charity the pay of idleness
instead of the price of industry: let him
shew them that, unless the laws are
there be tyranny in the
laws it is
what cruelty it is ever to pardon
without a special motive See Ch [Cases unmeet] let him shew them
how cor sure a sign it is that either the laws
are bad, or the people [ill-instructed ] ill advised when infamy
is the portion of the informer: Let him
inform
