EXEMPTIONS INFANCY. 4
a transitory pain inflicted in the more of Whipping
It is Whipping I would propose; a punishment liable to none of these objections which by becoming does
not love its Terrors; which for its efficacy depends not upon the & uncertain
workings of the imagination, but the certain & nearly uniform sensibility of the material
frame.
On this subject I will advance a preparation which as being in its own nature unsusceptible either of
proof or disproof, I must abandon as such to the []... of the reader: I say,
A child would be influenced by the denunciation of a severe whipping not only equally as by Death
but more. As The one he knows what it is, & will readily give credit to its on ;
as to the other, it being an event quite out of the order of things according to his ,
he will not be able to persuade himself that in good earnest it should happen:
influenced too by some confused expectation of & reliance on that compassion to avert it from him, which
in of little circumstances he beholds sees extended in among little circumstances to his age.
