Ch. 1
Connection of Beneficence and Benevolence with Self-Prudence
Beneficence is subservient to prudence, self regarding prudence, in 2 cases. 1st. Where it can be
exercised without any sacrifice of self regarding
interest; to 2 where it can be exercised without
any sacrifice but what is outweighed by
superior advantage
In both cases, the motives by which beneficence
is recommended may be as follows -
1st motives belonging to the retributive sanction:
chance of reward at the hands of the person benefitted
of this chance the value will be the greater
according as in respect of the power of rewarding
the relation of the party benefitted to the party
benefitting is that of inferior, equal, or superior.
In this respect no human being is to
such a degree inferior as that the chance of
receiving at his hands remunerative retribution
should be equal to 0.
Illustrative of this position is the well
known fable of the lion and the mouse
2nd motives belonging to the moral or popular
sanction
This supposes the fact and circumstances of the
benefit known. The value of the reward will
in this case be the ratio of 1st
the degree of supposed mentioned; viz. belonging
to the exercise of the virtue in the case
in question; 2nd the number and influentiability
of the persons to whom in the character of
judges of the judicatory of the popular sanction
the knowledge of the fact has
For illustration may be employed
the story of the preconivation of the miraculous
power of Jesus by the sick and infirm who
had been healed by him
