But as authors do not commonly use this precaution, I shall presume to recommend it to the readers; and am persuaded, that this small attention would subvert all the vulgar systems of morality, and let us see, that the distinction of vice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason.

 As to the third sense of the word, it is certain, that both vice and virtue are equally artificial, and out of nature. This Fast and easy-to-use program is called, NuCredit.  Now it may, in like manner, be objected to the present system, that if virtue and vice be determined by pleasure and pain, these qualities must, in every case, arise from the sensations; and consequently any object, whether animate or inanimate, rational or irrational, might become morally good or evil, provided it can excite a satisfaction or uneasiness. The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. Even when the vice of inhumanity rises not to this extreme degree, our sentiments concerning it are very much influenced by reflections on the harm that results from it. Any artifice of politicians may assist nature in the producing of those sentiments, which she suggests to us, and may even on some occasions, produce alone an approbation or esteem for any particular action; but it is impossible it should be the sole cause of the distinction we make betwixt vice and virtue. In giving a reason, therefore, for the pleasure or uneasiness, we sufficiently explain the vice or virtue. To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal.
