such an one enacted by any Legislator.
In the former Case, it will be either kept
or broken: if broken, there is an Unhappiness
produced by the Punishment (which forms) the
sanction: if kept, men are kept from doing what
they have a Mind to do: now to be kept from
doing what one has a Mind to do, is Unhappiness".
To instance at once the strongest Case that
can be put in Contradiction; the Case of a Law
against Murder: Now laying out of Consideration for a
moment the Unhappiness it prevents to a person
who without it would be murder'd, his Friends, &
the Community, as likewise at the long run to
the person who would murder; it is evident it
produces for the present a Quantity of Unhappiness
in the latter person — the Unhappiness concomitant
on Restraint — the Unhappiness of being obliged
to give up the Pleasure of satiating the keen
Appetites of Avarice or Revenge.
How little therefore sower it seems to have been
attended to, whenever therefore a Legislator makes
a Law, + he may be perfectly certain he is doing Mischief
