moral aptitude, applies as
much to one such power
as to another. Each will
always wish to serve
all others, so far as by so
doing, he will serve himself:
and by maximizing
equality, each will serve
himself, in so far as the
others will willingly
assist him.

of men & things renders

the subsistence, abundance
and security of
all others: and to the
destruction of all Equality

and himself.

of the felicity of
all, by the augmentation
of whose felicity, his
own is any way encreased.
