1) Punishment why more practised than Reward.
Public burthens are one of the expences which the
state is obliged to be at in order to maintain itself:
Punishment is the other. Leaving burthens
out of the question, if obedience could be produced
in every instance by Rewards instead of Punishment,
the business of Government could be the end of
Punishment could be attained,
the internal business of Government could be
conducted,
without Punishment, that is without expence.
Reward is good. Punishment is evil. The good
produced by obedience being in both cases the same,
it is that to this latter good in the first place add
the what good
there is in Reward: in the next place substract
what evil there is in Punishment. It is most
manifest that the sum in the first case is a
greater quantity than the difference in the second.
To prefer punishment where the end can be equally
compassed by Reward, is to prefer the lesser good
to the greater. [a]
But it is not true that obedience can be produced
in every few instance by Reward: as well as by
Punishment: very few in comparison are the instances in which
it can. The reasons are obvious and perfectly
conclusive. 1st Reward in
most cases not in its
nature so efficacious; 2dly
were it efficacious it is not to be had.
