y. Paley 12 Punishment wd be inflicted when neither deserved nor necessary The principle of sympathy & antipathy which supposes that punishment is inflated for the gratification of vengeance. has here been substituted employ'd instead of the principle of utility - under which pain in this or in any other shape is not inflicted except from its necessity
"or some would undergo that this punishment,
"when it was neither deserved nor necessary."
Under this word deserved lurks an error, which
for by being so generally extensively embraced, and thence with with so
much propriety referable to the denomination of a vulgar
error, is not the less, but the more, mischievous.
