To be delighted in the Imagination onely, of being possessed of another mans goods, servants, or wife, without any intention to take them from him by force, or fraud, is no breach of the Law, that sayth, "Thou shalt not covet:" nor is the pleasure a man my have in imagining, or dreaming of the death of him, from whose life he expecteth nothing but dammage, and displeasure, a Sinne; but the resolving to put some Act in execution, that tendeth thereto.
"And that may non Hors DON." SIR J. MANDEVILLE. "But for th' entent to DON this sinne." CHAUCER. Cowd; cold. Teut., kaud. Dutch, koud. "I han got no money, I tell ye," said Barton.

When therefore his Intention is Right, his fact is no Sinne: if otherwise, his fact is Sinne; but not Crime.
Sinne got up considerably cowed for the moment, and stalked away; but, from the malignant glances he cast at Ben and us, we could not doubt that he meditated vengeance.
