INTRODUCTION Term Law abused.

How what manner from uniformity observed a Law as the cause of it came to be imagined. 1st Upon the commission of such and such acts
there was a certain quantity of unhappiness
produced or supposed to be produced.

2. The consequence of this unhappiness so
produced was a note of displeasure or disapprobation
placed upon the act producing
it either the individual happiness in question was produced by the individual in question 1st by those in whom it was produced
or next by those who seeing how being witnesses to it's production
in the former case, might conceive themselves to be
liable to the situations of which being exposed to suffer acts
of the like kind.

3. The consequence of that displeasure was
a 2nd lot of unhappiness retorted upon the authors of
the 1st by the persons displeased Actions and forbearances of the same kind consider'd in as much as they resembled each other, gave the idea of uniformity.

4. This 2d or reflex of unhappiness
thus found to be consequent upon being generally preponderant over the immediate pleasure
which was the original determining motive
to the act, became an motive for the omission
of the act, which being more powerful
than that for the commission of it, operated
accordingly

5. From the continual sence of this preponderancy, first taught by experience, thence formed into a maxim, & that maxim from time to time confirmed by experiences The result of it all was Here there is a certain uniformity of conduct
produced by in the point in question.

The Will of the Lawgiver enjoining forbidding the thing to be done
added to that secondary which which injured in pain to be inflicted on the doer in case of its being done was a cause that it was not done. Here then
in respect of an act of that species is a certain
uniformity produced an uniformity of abstinence
