Click Here To Edit Punishment & Restraint. Warburton distinctions by examining the use that is made of them.
An act of restraint then is according to his Lordship any act whereby pain is inflicted but "no more than what is just necessary "to reflect the evil it is employed to combat.
An act of punishment is according to his Lordship any act whereby pain is inflicted "more than what is just ne- -cessary to repel the evil" it is employed to combat
Here however I find myself under another em- -barassment: for the word evil is by the Bishop his Lordship used in two senses which to his Lordship both of them accurate as well as familiar: but of which to gap/> one atand consistent least seems inaccurate, and both together dis- -parate to and in--consistent with each other.
Of evils he makes two sorts:which two sorts are <note></note> mischief and crimes. A mischief is, with him, "an evil that proceeds not from the will". A crime is "an evil that doesproceed from the will".
If this canbe accurate, it will be true to say in case of our meeting with any evil that does notproceed from the will that it is not a mischief. If then a man were to give his Lordship give you a blowvoluntarily that is in such that the man's giving you him the blow pain his Lordship in consequence of the man's giving youhim the blow proceeding from the man's will, such pain is not a mischief. Such a position, I imagine, is more than his Lordship you would be willing to allow.
