PAGE 82. Par. 6
"Thought what I have here said may not perhaps make the ideas of pleasure and pain clearer to us than our own experience does, which is the only way we are capable of having the; yet the consideration of the reason why they are anexed to so many other ideas, serving to give us due sentiments of the wisdom and goodness of the Sovereign Disposer of all things..."
I feel that Locke is trying to make a refrence to God. He is saying that we can not truely experience pleasure and pain until we meet our creator. I feel that when he is talking about the Sovereign Disposer he is referring to God. He is talking about how we are givin wisdom and goodness and can not experance anything different until a later pont in time, when God wants us to experence pleasure and pain.

i think that is really false. We do not need to experience God to experience pleasure and pain, because we get it everyday. The level of pain and pleasure that God can give, I think you have to see God to experience that for yourself. The bible does say never seeing God, is the worst pain received.
