Law Amendment.
III. Propositions applying to Abundance
1. Included in the mass of the matter of subsistence abundance
the mass of the matter of subsistence. The matter of wealth
is at once the matter of subsistence and the matter of abundance: subject matter of sole
difference, the quantity: less in the case of subsistence; greater in the case
of abundance.
2. Of two persons of whom the one has the matter
of
If, of two persons, one has the minimum matter of subsistence
and no more without addition, and the other that same minimum
with an addition, the former has the matter of subsistence, the
latter the matter of abundance: understand in comparison
with him who has nothing beyond the minimum of the matter of subsistence
the term abundance being a comparative: a relative term.
3. Existence 3. The matter of subsistence being necessary to existence being in the instance of each individual
necessary to existence existence, and existence necessary
to happiness more happi suppose a quantity of the matter
of wealth sufficient for the subsistence of 10,000 persons
at the disposition of the legislator more happiness will be producible
by giving to each one of the 10000 a particle
of the matter of wealth than by giving to 5,000 of them
the matter of abundance two particle a portion of the matter
of abundance composed of two particles of the matter of
subsistence and thus giving none to any of the 5,000:
since in that supposition, the 5000 thus left destitute would
soon die though by a lingering death.
