But can there be any difficulty in proving, that vice and virtue are not matters of fact, whose existence we can infer by reason? Take any action allowed to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. SECT.
