its_o sweetness_n but_o only_o by_o a_o wrong_a judgement_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o that_o mistake_n which_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o invincible_a error_n which_o scarce_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o wrong_a judgement_n but_o of_o that_o wrong_a judgement_n which_o every_o man_n himself_o must_v confess_v to_o be_v so_o §_o 41._o i._n therefore_o as_o to_o present_a pleasure_n and_o pain_n the_o mind_n as_o have_v be_v say_v never_o mistake_v that_o which_o be_v real_o good_a or_o evil_n that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a pleasure_n or_o the_o great_a pain_n be_v real_o

compare_v present_a pleasure_n or_o pain_n with_o future_a we_o often_o make_v wrong_a judgement_n of_o they_o take_v our_o measure_n of_o they_o in_o different_a position_n of_o distance_n object_n near_o our_o view_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v think_v great_a than_o those_o of_o a_o large_a size_n that_o be_v more_o remote_a and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n the_o present_a be_v apt_a to_o carry_v it_o and_o those_o at_o a_o distance_n have_v the_o disadvantage_n in_o the_o comparison_n thus_o most_o man_n like_o spendthrift_n heir_n be_v apt_a to_o judge_v a_o little_a in_o hand_n better_o than_o a_o great_a deal_n to_o come_v and_o so_o for_o small_a matter_n in_o possession_n part_n with_o great_a one_o in_o reversion_n but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o wrong_a judgement_n every_o one_o must_v allow_v let_v his_o pleasure_n consist_v in_o whatever_o it_o will_v since_o that_o which_o be_v future_a will_v certain_o come_v to_o be_v present_a and_o then_o have_v the_o same_o advantage_n of_o nearness_n will_v show_v its_o self_n in_o its_o full_a dimension_n and_o discover_v his_o wilful_a mistake_n who_o judge_v of_o it_o by_o unequal_a measure_n be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o drink_v accompany_v the_o very_a moment_n a_o man_n take_v off_o his_o glass_n with_o that_o sick_a stomach_n and_o ake_v head_n which_o in_o some_o man_n be_v sure_a to_o follow_v not_o many_o hour_n after_o i_o think_v no_o body_n whatever_o pleasure_n he_o have_v in_o his_o cup_n will_v on_o these_o condition_n ever_o let_v wine_n touch_v his_o lip_n which_o yet_o he_o gay_o swallow_v and_o the_o evil_a side_n come_v to_o be_v choose_v only_o by_o the_o fallacy_n of_o a_o little_a difference_n in_o time_n but_o if_o pleasure_n or_o pain_n can_v be_v so_o lessen_v only_o by_o a_o few_o hour_n removal_n how_o much_o more_o will_v it_o be_v so_o by_o a_o far_a distance_n to_o a_o man_n that_o will_v not_o by_o a_o due_a consideration_n do_v what_o time_n will_v i._n

of_o bare_a pleasure_n and_o pain_n or_o the_o true_a degree_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n the_o future_a lose_v its_o just_a proportion_n and_o what_o be_v present_a obtain_v the_o preference_n as_o the_o great_a i_o mention_v not_o here_o the_o wrong_a judgement_n whereby_o the_o absent_a be_v not_o only_o lessen_v but_o reduce_v to_o perfect_v nothing_o when_o man_n enjoy_v what_o they_o can_v in_o present_a and_o make_v sure_a of_o that_o conclude_v amiss_o that_o no_o evil_a will_v thence_o follow_v for_o that_o lie_v not_o in_o compare_v the_o greatness_n of_o future_a good_a and_o
