Of appropriate active aptitude the degree possessed by the functionary in question will in like manner be in the conjunct ratio of innate aptitude, and the effective force of the inducements by which in the situation it has happened to him to occupy he has been led to give added vigour to his innate appropriate aptitude, and at the same time to make application of it to operations bearing more or less analogy to the functions of the Office with relation to which his appropriate aptitude is considered.

Exposure to the effective force of the several sanctions spoken of /here just mentioned/ as capable of furnishing inducements promotive of appropriate aptitude whether with relation to the exercise of a public function such as the above or to the /a persons/ general condition in life whether endowed or not /invested or not/ with any such public function is commonly termed responsibility © his responsibility

Responsibility is accordingly according to the nature of the sanction by which the inducements are considered /regarded/ as afforded distinguishable into political including legal responsibility, and moral responsibility the degree of it being the degree of his exposure to the force of the /action of the/ popular or moral sanction, as applied by the Public Opinion Tribunal.

Note that to each such sanction belong two distinguishable branches © the punitory or say penal, and the remuneratory: the penal, in the case where the inducement is constituted /[...?]/ by the eventual expectation or fear of pain; the remunerative, in the case where it consists in the eventual expectation or hope of pleasure that is to say of the possession of any such things as are commonly regarded as instruments of pleasure or of good in its other shape exemption from pain.

Note however that by any eventual expectation of the matter of good whether in its positive or its negative shape as above no such condition as that of /the sort of condition commonly designated by the word/ responsibility is in common language considered /regarded/ as being constituted /brought to view/.
