As In partic
As to Probity Probity and Justice, the place it seems scarcely
Justness will it be altogether correct to say speak of probity as subservient
to justice. What at the same time may be said without impropriety, is
and that where there is no want of probity, there can
not, so far as depends on intention be any want of justice, while on the other hand
it can not be said that there can not be any want of
probity so long as there is no want of justice.
The truth is, that, in the field of morals the place
occupied by probity, and the place occupied by Justice
viz. in so far as Justice is considered as a species of virtue,
are nearly if not entirely the same. Puteron the import
of the aim of these words and that of the others the difference
is not rather logical or ethical but grammatical. The occasions on
which they are capable of being employed — the actions
to of which they are capable of being predicated, are the
same: but for the being respectively made up into sentences, the
site of concomitant and concordant words required by
them are in many instances every here and there different.
Every body says I will d to you justice: nobody
says I will do you probity
But an every act of injustice, at any rate, if
by the agent himself understood to be such is an act of improbity,
and conversely, every act of improbity, is an act of injustice,
if by the agent understood to be so to be an act of
injustice.
