We come now to the examination of such virtues and vices as are entirely natural, and have no dependance on the artifice and contrivance of men.

 To remove, as far as possible, all scruples of this kind, I shall here consider another set of duties, viz, the modesty and chastity which belong to the fair sex: And I doubt not but these virtues will be found to be still more conspicuous instances of the operation of those principles, which I have insisted on. Here is the link: Our own virtues produce not first pride, and then love to a friend or brother; because the passage in that case would be from contiguous to remote, contrary to its propensity. 
  • The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence.
 They must derive all their merit from our sympathy with those, who reap any advantage from them: As the virtues, which have a tendency to the good of the person possessed of them, derive their merit from our sympathy with him.
