Prodictive Labour is the natural and in general unless by accident the only
beneficial or even innocent means of medium through which the
instruments of enjoyment can be acquired. The appetite
for them bring would up to at a certain pitch of intensity whatever can [that
disposition which] prevents the a man's existence from running in the
lawful channel drives them by a necessary consequence
into the an unlawful one. Hence it is, that the very same
degree of sloth, aversion to labour which on the part of a man possessed of

of the appetites self-regarded that incite to rapacity is exemplified and established
the weakness of the whole mass of force — the influence <add>weakness</add>
of the several affections — the fear of the law — the fear of
religion — the fear of public opinion (not forgetting to mention the fear the pain of sympathy excited by the prospect of human suffering of the
immediate painful natural suffering painful consequences that tread so closely at the heels
of imprudent graf gratification) are demonstrated evidenced by exam

result is on many various accounts a less formidable enemy

enemy to be despised: more particularly in a situation where
