Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text

By pleasure and pain, delight and uneasiness, I must all along be understood (as I have above intimated) to mean not only bodily pain and pleasure, but whatsoever delight or uneasiness is felt by us, whether arising from any grateful or unacceptable sensation or reflection.

French

Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition

Je prie encore un coup mon Lecteur de remarquer, que j’entens toûjours par Plaiſir & Douleur, par contentement & inquiétude, non ſeulement un plaiſir & une douleur qui viennent du Corps, mais quelque eſpèce de ſatisfaction & d’inquiétude que nous ſentions en nous-mêmes, ſoit qu’elles procedent de quelque Senſation, ou de quelque Reflexion, agréable ou desagréable.
