Punishment + Restraint. Warburton
In this here sums I must confess something that rumors
of impropriety and begets confusion. The cause for
error if there be any seems to be in this
The refuse to which His Lordship has given the same name of evil
are mischief and crimesmischiefs then and crimes
he makes to many species
of evils. This with
submission, is what they
cannot be: for there is
not any thing genus,

they are both species.
For A mischief in any sense
in which the word has a
