four hours to guess if you have never read
Brown, or Warburton, & two
hours if you
have.— Why "Because", says our Author,
"in the first place, the quiet enjoyment &
protection of all our civil rights, & liberties,
"which are the sure and" general consequence
—(he should have said "or")"general consequences
of obedience to the municipal
"Law, are in themselves the best & most valuable
"of all rewards." —What! the sanctions of
human Laws do not consist in rewards; because
the sure, or at least the general consequence
of obedience to them are the best & most
valuable of all rewards! —Surely this
unhappy word "because" was never put to so hard
a task before.— But this perhaps is not an
"actual" reward, because it does not is paid down beforehand:
or it is not a particular reward
because others are to participate in it. If
so, I am afraid, that divine Laws as well
as human, will be found deficient in
particular rewards; for the Joys of
Heaven, like the sweets of civil society
are offered indiscriminately to all who
obey.
