can_v be_v cruel_a and_o hard-hearted_a to_o other_o without_o feel_v a_o pain_n in_o himself_o second_o reason_n show_v we_o the_o tendency_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o our_o happiness_n and_o

and_o advantage_n to_o we_o and_o that_o evil_a which_o be_v likely_a to_o produce_v some_o mischief_n and_o inconvenience_n and_o by_o this_o rule_n reason_n discover_v to_o we_o that_o these_o

mercy_n and_o pity_n be_v not_o more_o welcome_a to_o other_o than_o they_o be_v delightful_a and_o beneficial_a to_o ourselves_o for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o gratify_v our_o own_o nature_n and_o

to_o the_o common_a consent_n and_o opinion_n of_o mankind_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a testimony_n because_o it_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o a_o enemy_n extort_a by_o the_o mere_a light_n and_o

and_o those_o who_o be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o spare_v themselves_o be_v very_o quick-sighted_a to_o spy_v a_o fault_n in_o any_o body_n else_o and_o will_v censure_v a_o bad_a action_n do_v by_o
