Beginning
Prudence is the choice of apt in proportion to the aptitude
of the choice made of means with reference to an end: that
end being happiness Subject of condition self and all
others Self-regarding prudence is the apt choice of men
with reference to the happiness of the chooser in a case in
which by whatsoever he chuse the happiness of no other sensible sentient
being will be affected: extraregarding Prudence is the apt choice
of means with reference to that same send to a course or
by the course he takes -- by the course taken by the
amount he gives to his faculty, his happiness if
some other sensible being is in some way shape or other, in some
degree or other affected.
Take again the maximization of an happiness for the object of your endeavour:
then says every human being to himself: then say,
every sentient being to itself: every sentient which is at the same
time an agent being: in which case it seems probable that
all are
That ladest must most important subject and of consideration
and object of x must to every sentient being
be his own happiness. It can not be otherwise x has
being as x I To an human being or other or x any other
so near as himself: to no x being an any other
so dear as himself. It is not damnable x to the happiness of each that it should be
otherwise
Had Adam cared more for the happiness of Eve
than for his own, - nor at the same time every man for the
happiness of Adam than for X, Satan x would not
have needed to give himself the trouble of temptation. Thus every
would have spared him saved him from the xxx prospect of their happiness: an
Death of both would have spared him saved him from the prospect of
their existence
