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.

 This is not the case with the natural virtues. Now since every quality in ourselves or others, which gives pleasure, always causes pride or love; as every one, that produces uneasiness, excites humility or hatred: It follows, that these two particulars are to be considered as equivalent, with regard to our mental qualities, virtue and the power of producing love or pride, vice and the power of producing humility or hatred. So, one night, my girlfriends and I decided to take turns on doing the Body Wrap. Now justice is a moral virtue, merely because it has that tendency to the good of mankind; and, indeed, is nothing but an artificial invention to that purpose.  For these reasons the former qualities are esteemed virtues, and the latter regarded as vices. This relation it will be impossible for me fully to explain before I come to treat of justice and the other moral virtues. At least it must be owned, that heroic virtue, being as unusual, is as little natural as the most brutal barbarity.
