B II Ch. 14 12
Capital Punishment examined
variation: in some is as great as in a person
taken at random: but in many it is next to nothing.
Death is the absence of all pleasures indeed, and but at
the same time of all pains. When a person feels
himself under temptation to committ a crime punishable
with Death [he determines] his determination to committ
it or not to commit it [according to] is the result
of the following calculation. He ranges on one places before his eyes
side ranges on one side the clear portion of happiness he thinks himself likely
to enjoy in case of his abstaining: on the other
he places the clear happiness be thinks himself likely
to enjoy in case of his committing the crime
taking into the account the chance there appears
to him to be of his having the duration that the punishment threatened coming
to be executed will curtail abridge the
duration of that
happiness.
Now then, if in the former case there appears to be no
clear happiness likely to come accrue to him,
in the fo but in the contrary much more if there appears to be a clear portion
of unhappiness if the ballance appears to be on the
other side, in other words if the clear portion of
happiness likely to befall him appears to be equal to a up or much more
if it appears to be negative, the pleasure that constitutes
the profit of the crime will act upon him
with a force that has nothing to oppose it. The
probability of seeing it brought to an abrupt period by
Death
