p VIII Art 4
If the
pleasure
reaped from
the commitment
of any
crime is as
nothing
compared
to the pain
which of
course follows,
why
is additional
pain necessary
in the
way of
punishment?

above is literally

Answer —
Because the
pleasure from
the crime falls
to the share of
the criminal
as the pain
from the same
crime falls
not to his
share, but to

he does not
care about,
(i:e: the consideration
of
whose pain
gives him
no pain) hence
the necessity
of an operation
on the part of
government
for putting
him to pain
(i:e: for punishing
him) in
case of his committing
the mischievous
act
which by the
apprehension

of such punishment
it
is intended
to deter him
from committing.
