As to the third sense of the word, it is certain, that both vice and virtue are equally artificial, and out of nature. Secondly, I would have anyone give me a reason, why virtue and vice may not be involuntary, as well as beauty and deformity. The Judgments you are working on will be there when you return. Nothing causes greater vanity than any shining quality in our relations; as nothing mortifies us more than their vice or infamy. To continue the experiment, I change anew the relation of ideas, and suppose the vice to belong to myself. Thus the course of the argument leads us to conclude, that since vice and virtue are not discoverable merely by reason, or the comparison of ideas, it must be by means of some impression or sentiment they occasion, that we are able to mark the difference betwixt them.
