1 This Corollary may be illustrated by the example of a
2 sick and a healthy man.  The sick man through fear of death eats
3 what he naturally shrinks from, but the healthy man takes
4 pleasure in his food, and thus gets a better enjoyment out of
5 life, than if he were in fear of death, and desired directly to
6 avoid it.  So a judge, who condemns a criminal to death, not from
7 hatred or anger but from love of the public well–being, is guided
8 solely by reason.
