The discussion of this question will be more proper, when we enter upon an exact detail of each particular vice and virtue.

 SECT. VII OF VICE AND VIRTUE The passions do not always follow our corrections; but these corrections serve sufficiently to regulate our abstract notions, and are alone regarded, when we pronounce in general concerning the degrees of vice and virtue. 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. The virtue of a brother must make me love him; as his vice or infamy must excite the contrary passion.  PART III OF THE OTHER VIRTUES AND VICES Now, as a like uncertainty and variety of causes take place, even in natural objects, and produce a like error in our judgment, if that tendency to produce error were the very essence of vice and immorality, it should follow, that even inanimate objects might be vicious and immoral. The virtue or vice of a son or brother not only excites love or hatred, but by a new transition, from similar causes, gives rise to pride or humility. 

Things are coexistent, when in empirical intuition the perception of the one can follow upon the perception of the other, and vice versa-- which cannot occur in the succession of phenomena, as we have shown in the explanation of the second principle.
