four hours to guess if you have never read
Brown, or Warburton, & two hours if you
have.— Why "Because", says our Author,
"in the first place, the quiet enjoyment &
protection of all our civil rights, & liberties,
"which are the sure and "general consequence —(he should have said "or")"general conse quences of obedience to the municipal Law, are in themselves the best & most valuable "of all rewards." —What! the sanction of human Laws do not consist in rewards; because the sure, or at least the general consequence of obedience to them are the best & most valuable of all rewards! —Surely this unhappy word "because" was never put to so hard a task before.— But this perhaps is not an "actual" reward, because it does not is paid down before hand: or it is not a particular reward because others are to participate in it. If so, I am afriad, that divine Laws as well as human, will be found deficint in particulare rewards; for the Joys of Heaven, like the sweets of civil society are offered indiscriminately to all who obey.
