to_o he_o and_o that_o if_o free_v from_o this_o restraint_n of_o virtue_n and_o honesty_n he_o may_v be_v much_o happy_a it_o be_v very_o obvious_a that_o his_o love_n and_o relish_v towards_o virtue_n and_o honesty_n must_v every_o day_n diminish_v as_o the_o temper_n grow_v uneasy_a and_o quarrel_n with_o it_o but_o if_o he_o oppose_v to_o this_o the_o consideration_n that_o honesty_n

this_o injury_n to_o his_o good_a temper_n and_o honest_a principle_n be_v prevent_v and_o his_o love_n or_o affection_n towards_o honesty_n and_o virtue_n remain_v the_o same_o in_o the_o same_o

a_o love_n of_o its_o contrary_a revenge_n it_o be_v possible_a and_o very_a natural_a that_o by_o the_o consideration_n that_o lenity_n be_v by_o its_o reward_n make_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o great_a self-good_a that_o very_a affection_n of_o lenity_n and_o mildness_n may_v be_v industrious_o nourish_v and_o the_o contrary_n depress_v so_o that_o the_o good_a affection_n may_v come_v at_o last_o to_o be_v seat_v in_o the_o temper_n and_o the_o good_a and_o proper_a object_n to_o be_v belove_v as_o by_o a_o creature_n well_o affect_v when_o no_o punishment_n or_o reward_n be_v think_v of_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o a_o state_n or_o public_n a_o virtuous_a and_o good_a administration_n and_o a_o equal_a and_o just_a distribution_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v of_o service_n not_o only_o to_o restrain_v vicious_a man_n and_o to_o make_v they_o act_v useful_o to_o the_o public_a but_o by_o make_v virtue_n to_o be_v apparent_o the_o interest_n of_o every_o one_o it_o
