That crime immediately affecting the being of the govern- ment itfelf, the government is naturally more jealous of it than of any other. In the punifhment of trea- fon, the fovereign refents the injuries which are im- mediately done to hirhfelf : in the puniftiment of other crimes, he refents thofe which are done to other men. It is his own refentment which he indulges in the one cafe : it is that of his fubjects which by f\mpathy he enters into it in the other. In the hi ft cafe, therefore, as... he judges in his own caufe, he is very apt to be more violent and fanguinary in his punifhments than the impartial fpectator can ap- | >i (;v c of. His refentment too rifes here upon fmaller occafions, and does not always, as in other cafes, wait for the perpetration of the crime, or even for the attempt to commit it. A treafonable concert, though nothing has been done, or even attempted in 6 nfequenceof it, nay, a treafonable converfation, is Sect. 3. Of Merit and Demerit. 159 is in many countries punilhed in the fame manner as the actual commiirion of treafon.
