Part I. Paul’s claim to a commission from Jesus examined.  Contents not here

inserted.

Part II. Asceticism inculcated by Paul―in repugnancy to good morals.

Ch. 1. Cause―Occasion―Apologetica.

Ch. 2. Principle of Asceticism, what: asceticism by active

inflection, asceticism by forbearance:―asceticism by forbearance, the principle by

which condemnation is passed on pleasure, in whatever shape, on any ground other than

that of its being followed by pain more than equivalent.―Repugnancy of this principle

to the only genuine, consistent, and defensible foundation of good morals―the

principle of general utility, termed for shortness the principle of

utility: by which in the instance of every species of act, the approbation or

disapprobation proper to be bestowed upon it is considered as depending upon, and

measured by, its effects on the universal interest; i.e. on human happiness

considered in the aggregate and as composed of individual pleasures, and exemptions

from individual pains.

For this, reference to two works of Bentham: viz. 1. Introduction to the principles

of Morals and Legislation, 4 vo London 1789; 2. Traités de

Legislation Civile et Penale, 8 vo 3 Tomes, Paris 1802; edited by

Dumont. See also his Table of the Springs of Action

&c. 8 vo London 1817: including Pleasures and Pains.

Ch. 3. Subject of the present enquiry, the pleasures of sense. Pains and Pleasures,

Elements of their value:―These elements are the same for all: viz. I. in the case of

each pleasure or pain taken by itself, 1. intensity; 2. duration. (these two compose

magnitude:) 3. certainty. 4. propinquity: II.―in relation

to other pleasures and pains, considered as capable of resulting from it to the same

person; 5. purity, as to sensations of the opposite cast; 6. fecundity, as to d o of the same d o: III.―in relation to the number of the persons considered as participating in it; 7.

Extent, as measured by the number of such persons.―For all this, reference to

Bentham, as above.

Ch. 4. Physical division of the subject { Object and use of this division, shewing

the absence of distinction in respect of noxiousness, between those modes of sensual

gratification, on which condemnation is generally passed by law and public opinion,

and those on which no such condemnation at all is passed, or none but what is much

less severe. The one is accordingly―to pave the way for the Moral division of the

subject: as to which, see Contents of the next Chapter.}

I. Division of the sorts of acts, whereby the senses are put to use or affected,

into such, in the instance of which the sense is but the inlet

to the pleasure, or the pain, or the chief part of it, and such, where the sense is

the seat as well as the inlet. To the

former class belong 1. the act of seeing; sense, the sight; 2. the act of hearing;

sense, the hearing. To the other class belong 3. the act of eating; sense, the taste;

4. the act of drinking; sense again the taste: 5. the act of smelling; sense, the

smell: 6. the sexual act, or act of sexuality; sense, the sexual, sometimes called

the sixth sense. To the class in which the sense is the seat of the pleasure will the appellation of sensual acts, or acts of sensuality be generally

understood to be confined.

II. Division of acts of sensuality, into acts, of which the most prominent effect is

the production of positive pleasure, and those of which the most prominent effect is

production of mere exemption from positive pain.―Necessary indistinctness of these

divisions. The latter class shares not in equal degree, if at all, in any

condemnation commonly applied to any of the acts belonging to the former class.―To

the former class may be referred―1. the act of eating after

the pain of hunger is removed, or considered as applied to articles of food, preferred in respect of their savour: 2.

the act of drinking, in like circumstances: 3. the act of smelling to substances agreably odorous: 4. the act of self-intoxication, considered in its various modes; whether, of

the intoxicating matter the form be

solid, liquid, or gaseous; vinous or non-vinous: 5. the act of sexuality.

To the other class may be referred, for example 1. Acts, whereby exclusion is put

upon such extremes of temperature, as are productive of pain

or uneasiness;―acts, whereby disagreable coolness or disagreable warmth are removed:

2. Acts, whereby substances, whether solid or liquid, productive of sensations

unpleasant to the surface of the body, are removed: viz. washing clean or wiping dry:

3. Acts, whereby relief is obtained under the species of inflammation commonly called

itching.  Per James 1 st, pleasure of

scratching where it itches, too great for a subject: per

eundem, as inferred from practice, pleasure of sexuality in the Attic mode not

too great for a King.

III. Division of acts of sensuality, into those where the pleasure reaped at the time is the effect principally or

exclusively important, and those where by the value of a comparatively remote result in which it terminates, the value of the pleasure

is exceeded. To the latter class belong―1. the acts, whereby nourishment is taken in: comparatively remote and more important, result,

preservation of the existence of the individual: 2. the act of

sexuality: comparatively remote and more important, though not in more cases than one

out of a number, consequent,―and not in any, more than

contingent,―result―contributing to the preservation of the existence of the species.

When the act of taking in the matter of nourishment, in circumstances, in which it

is not capable of affording additional security for the accomplishment of the

ulterior and more important result, is not condemned, why should the act of

sexuality?

In the instance of the act of sexuality, of the only case in which the comparatively

remote and more important effect is capable of being produced, the extent, compared with that of the remaining cases put together, is extremely

narrow. The description of it, as contradistinguished from those others, is―where,

the gratification being social in contradistinction to solitary, the parties are two and no more than two, both

belonging to the same species,―the two belonging to the correspondent and opposite

sexes,―the female neither short of, nor beyond the child-bearing age, nor in other

respects unsusceptible of impregnation, nor yet already impregnated: the parts of the

body, respectively employed, on both sides, those alone, which are capable of being

conducive to the production of the contingent, remote, but most important effect.

Ch. 5. Moral division of the subject, according to the principle of utility.

Division of the acts in question into innoxious and noxious: predominant noxiousness the sole proper ground for

punishment or disrepute. In this as in all other instances,―on him, by whom such

predominant noxiousness is imputed to a pleasure, rests the onus

probandi:―the obligation of proving the truth of the imputation.

Ch. 6. Aspect of the law of public opinion, as towards the pleasures of sense―its

errors and inconsistencies: Condemnation and allowance little governed by utility:

condemnation, in many instances most severe, upon those which

are least noxious, or altogether innoxious:―allowance, or comparative indulgence, shewn to those which are most

noxious. N.B. These errors and inconsistencies are separately brought to view and

exposed.

Follow, in the instance of the pleasures of the sexual sense,

I. Cases in which, though the production of the most important effect is impossible,

yet, so the sanction of wedlock be not wanting, no condemnation is, by the law of

opinion, passed upon the act.

1. Impregnation already performed.

2. Impregnation rendered impossible by advanced age or infirmity.

3. Impregnation impossible; the time being that of menstruation.

N.B. By the Law of Moses, (Leviticus, xx. 18.) in case of conjunction under that

circumstance, death was the punishment of the male: the same as for conjunction with

the same sex or a different species.

4. Impregnation rendered as yet impossible by immaturity of age.

II. Cases, in which condemnation appears to be passed on the act, by the law of

public opinion: the order, in which they are here ranged, having in view the strength

of the condemnation; and commencing with the cases in which the strength is

least:―but,―by reason of the difference, which, in respect of real noxiousness, has

place in some instances under the same denomination, and the indeterminateness of the

ground in all, and thence the want of agreement among the individuals, of whom, under

this law, in the character of Judges, the tribunal is composed,―the correctness of

the graduation is unavoidably far short of perfection. Among these distinguish

I. Cases, in which the more important result, viz. encrease given to the species,

stands on the same footing, in respect of probability, with the case in which the

sanction of wedlock is not wanting, nor, in regard to impregnation, is any cause of

impossibility present.

1. Parties, not united to one another in wedlock: neither of them so united with any

other person:―The case commonly called fornication. In the

male, in some opinions, not disreputable; in others, more or less so; in the female,

generally and highly so: chiefly by reason of, and in proportion to, the real evils:

for which See Ch. 13.

2. Parties not united to one another in wedlock: one of them so united to another

person.―Adultery―single Adultery.

    Ch. Asceticism

    When by the principle of asceticism condemnation has been passed upon any species or

    mode of pleasure [N.B. it is exclusively to the pleasures of the body i.e. to those

    in the instance of which the seat of the pleasure is in the body that the principle

    of asceticism has attached itself for the purpose of /with a view to/ condemnation.]

    When by this principle condemnation has been passed upon any species or mode of

    pleasure it is /has/ always been on the ground of the seat, or

    the source or both: on these occasions they /seat or source/

    have respectively been found to be impure. In this case the

    condemnation passed has it source in an illusion of the fancy, and the means employed

    by it to obtain submission is an abuse of words.

    Of the only clear and usefully applicable sense in which the words pure and impure are capable of being employed

    /applied to pleasure/, an explanation /a view/ has been given

    under the head of the principle of utility: and in these cases they are applicable

    with equal propriety to pain.

    In both instances alike in the one no less than in that of the other the idea

    belongs to the same department in the field of thought and action: in one and the

    same and that the moral one.
