This path or line of conduct or course of action by proceeding in to which more happiness may be enjoyed than by proceeding in any other call it for shortness the right

path: any other path, /or line of conduct or course of action/ a wrong path.

Note? Quere whether to insert.

/On this occasion/ Figurative as it can not be deemed to be, language /then/ equally figurative must be employed, or no language in any shape can be employed: for since all ideas have their origin in sense /in sense/ produced by matter, the nature of man furnishes not any means of designating unnatural objects without /but through/ the instrumentality of material ones.

An inducement is the eventual expectation of some pleasure or of exemption from some pain. An inducement to proceed in a certain path, line of conduct or course of action is the eventual expectation of enjoying some pleasure in the event of a man's proceeding on the occasion in question in the path, line or course in question, or of suffering some pain in the event of his not proceeding on that same occasion in that same path, line or course. By no other cause speaking in the character of a sort of inducement is human conduct ever influenced or capable of being influenced.

An inducement to proceed in what is regarded as a wrong path is commonly stiled a temptation: an inducement to disregard /to infringe/ or violate the corresponding directive rule.

An inducement to proceed in what is regarded as the wrong /right/ MS alt. in another hand. path, line or course is commonly stiled a sanction. But in this case the existence of a correspondent directive rule is supposed: and the effect or tendency of the sanction is to produce conformity to the course marked out by the directive rule.
