The value ratio of any things whereof one is greater than
another may be expressed in numbers : at
the least to such exactness as shall answer equally
well with absolute truth in practise.
Now every one will allow that if any one pleasure
may be greater than another one well in
respect of duration as of intensity : and of
pleasures possible or expectative any one may be gr more
likely to happen - than another , that is may
be more probably have be greater <add>in probability</add> , and may also be to happen
sooner, whenever it does happen if it happens at all, that is , may
be greater in proximity .
Now then take 2 pleasures , either of the
same man , or of 2 different men, no
matter which; and for the sake of distincguishing
one from the other , call one A,
the other B.
First suppose let there be both actual: and let the
intensity of A be to that of B - as 2 is to 21 : but the duration
---page break---
of A , to the duration of B, only as 1
is to 2. Now then to know the magnitude
of each, that is (they being both actual) their
value, take the pleasure intensity of A,
that is 2 and multiply it by the di duration of A,
that is 1 , the product is 2. Take also Do the
the intensity of same by the intensity and duration of of
B , the product is also 2 ; therefore
the magnit values of A and B - are equal.
