Punishment distinguished and defined
Punishment (considerd as existing in him who suffers it)
is Pain Evil: and there is no [sort of] pain but
what may put in the form of punishment. It
is not however in all circumstances that pain
can bear the name of punishment. Whether it
shall or shall not bear the name of punishment
depends upon the intention of him who is regarded
as the author: in other words upon this relation
between this will of the person who is regarded
as the author of the pain, and the went of it's
production
A man performs an act, suppose, from
whence pain eventually ensues. When he performed
this act, he either foresaw the pain as likely
to come or he did not. If he foresaw it, the pain
was either among the events which he wished
should take place or it was not. If it was,
it was either for the sake of the pleasure that
arose to him immediately out of the contemplation
of that event that he wished it to take place
or for the sake of the pleasure that arose to him
out of the contemplation of some other event,
that he looked upon as being likely to be the
effect of that in question. Now if he foresaw
it as likely to come from the act [he had it in question
in contemplation to perform] and yet upon allperformed the
act, the event although it were not among the objects
of his wishes must yet be regarded as being in
