Two offences are proposed — + + come in question One I am a Legislator. I wishes to
know which of them is the greatest — Why? that in
order to know to know which to punish most —
This is one reason —
But punishing of an offence (I mean, the
offence itself that is become obnoxious is seen to do the mischief) is but one
was means of preventing it - there are
other means, as we have seen already under
the title of Indirect Legislation — These
others therefore are so many other reasons;
all coming however under the general reason
of Prevention.

In the same manner of any two offences that
can be proposed one may wishes may wish to know which
is the greatest — Now that is the greatest offence
which produce the greatest most mischief; that is the greatest mischief which contains (taken together) the most pain and danger. which produces most pain and danger

to receive one from the same cause
here is no pain of sufferance: but here is pain of expectation. [in one] Tutors You
knows not perhaps that he has received it; and
yet are equally liable to receive one from the same
cause — There is danger [to you]
