To render to every In the instance of every man person without exception to render to him whatsoever
services in it may be in a man's power to render
without violation of the dictates of probity or those of prudence
are is the plain obvious and indisputable dictate of by the that virtue of
beneficence in which benevolence is comprized.

7
To render to a man
any service without
violation of probity
or prudence, the dictate
of beneficence

The the virtue of benef For constituting in this case not merely a sufficient warrant
but an obligatory mandate a sort of quasi- morally obligatory mandate, the form of beneficence benevolence
is even by itself sufficient: if even supposing no force weight
to be added, can it be that any should be taken defalcated
away by the co-operating concurrent force of the virtue of prudence?

8
In this case beneficence
an obligatory
mandate, and
prudence no drawback.

On this occasion as on so many others may
be seen two opposite sets of antagonizing forces: the one
set, that of the impelling, the other that of the restraining motive or consideration.

9
Here two opposite
forces, the impelling
and restraining,
of which
the one only sets
limits to the other.

To the proper power influence field of the impelling forces there can
be no clear limits than those which are set by that
of the restraining inhibitive forces.

Of the field which the by its actual of the
virtue of beneficence is capable of occupying and filling
with efficient services rendered to all the whole of humankind which
taken together were when taken in at the compleat, extremely narrow: much
more narrow narrow must it be that part of it which can apply and
confine itself to the case demands of any single individual or
private particular assemblage of individuals.

10
The field occupied
by beneficence towards
humankind, at
most narrow;
much more
towards individuals.

It has been already shewn,+ that if it were possible
+
that every man should be disposed on all occasions, is even
with very few exceptions on any occasion to sacrifice to the
interest of all mankind in general or any people large or small
of mankind his own personal interest, far from being benefited by
any
any such disposition
the whole community
it such a dispositn possess it should
be carried into out would
rapidly be destroyed by it.
