If it were so that the greater good in view determines the will, so great a good, once proposed, could not but seize the will, and hold it fast to the pursuit of this infinitely greatest good, without ever letting it go again: for the will having a power over, and directing the thoughts, as well as other actions, would, if it were so, hold the contemplation of the mind fixed to that good.
Hala bada, egia baldin balitz nahimena ikusten den ongirik handienak determinatzen duela, hain ongi handiak, behin proposatu ondoren, nahimenari oratu eta infinituki handiena den ongi honen bila determinatuko luke indartsu, beste inora joaten utzi gabe, horrelakorik gertatuz gero, nahimenak pentsamenduetan eta beste ekintzetan ahala izanik, gogamena ongi horretan finkatuta edukiko lukeelarik.
