1 The Primary Will Declares announcesthe conduct to be
preferred — The Secondary Will creates the
Interest, creating this motive for preserving it — An interest, a
Motive, if either Pleasure or Pain —
---page break---
The Secondary Will is therefore an
announcement of a certain conditional allotment of
pleasure or pain dependent upon the
or non- of this contract
which is the subject of the primary will.

paragraph

The question now is, how this allotment is
to later affect. The act of Volition really could
not produce if — The Pain Pleasure
are physical to be produced
by physical instruments. The physical in-
strumentability of some person must therefore
be called in The next act of volition must
therefore be an order from some person
to produce in the object of the Primary
& secondary volition allotment of pain or pleasure expected
---page break---
1 by the Secondary one, according to the contin-
gency upon the condition explained in the primary.

2 P / end. - Law Vestibule. We have now seen what a law is:
we have delineated /sketched out our idea of it: if it
is clear and accurate, we shall see preferably without
found no Difficulty in Determining what it meant difficulty what is not a our Law : More phan-
toms which under [the name of Laws] this iming name
have so long inhabited mens conceptions, well fly from Confine our hopes.

long, and in spite of every thing we can do
will probably continue to hang so much
longer on men's imagination, and infest their
discourse, it may not be altogether useful
to explain their and generation.
we shall be able more —————securely to deal
with them, if besides knowing what they
are not, we know them for what they
are.

3 Our definition, not finding it within cannot
-help any more that the Design of it, to
determine the right of making laws, carry
no such pretensions on the face of it.
It even disclaims it: Just as it is as useful
often to point out what you cannot do,
and what you think you need not do,
is what you have done.
---page break---
The principle of present is to know what a law is when
it is made, that is to understand its contents:
it is not to understand by whom and in what
manner it was made, which is to know to
know its' authenticity. The authenticity
of a law is a question extrinsic external to and independent of [that of]
its contents. A law made by me, would
not be authentic: because the nation are not in the behalf of laws of my making in that sense it would not be a law: but
I or any one
might make our
instrument having
the same contents
as, and from
whence the notion
of a law wont
be as fully known
as from any
that ever happened
before.

3Law is aWill says Dr Blackstone.
if the name line to the directory
and parts alone, it is
already 2 wills; to what he calls this remedial
it is God knows how many wills
herein.

Superior person" what undertakes to clear
up the obcenity, only removes it a step far-
ther: Mrs. of , to the purpose
of making laws, is not a whit more explicit
than that of the Law itself.
