forbid_v by_o god_n i_o call_v it_o good_a or_o evil_a sin_n or_o duty_n and_o if_o i_o compare_v it_o to_o civil_a law_n the_o rule_n make_v by_o the_o legislative_a of_o the_o country_n i_o call_v it_o lawful_a or_o unlawful_a a_o crime_n or_o no_o crime_n so_o that_o whencesoever_o we_o take_v the_o rule_n of_o moral_a action_n or_o by_o what_o standard_n soever_o we_o frame_v in_o our_o

and_o their_o rectitude_n or_o obliquity_n consist_v in_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n with_o those_o pattern_n prescribe_v by_o some_o law_n §_o 15._o to_o conceive_v a_o right_n of_o moral_a action_n we_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o they_o under_o this_o twofold_a consideration_n first_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o each_o make_v up_o of_o such_o a_o collection_n of_o simple_a idea_n thus_o drunkenness_n or_o lie_v signify_v such_o or_o such_o a_o collection_n of_o simple_a idea_n which_o i_o call_v mix_v modes_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v as_o much_o positive_a absolute_a idea_n as_o the_o drink_n of_o a_o horse_n or_o speak_v of_o a_o parrot_n second_o our_o action_n be_v consider_v as_o good_a bad_a or_o indifferent_a and_o in_o this_o respect_n they_o be_v relative_n it_o be_v their_o conformity_n to_o or_o disagreement_n with_o some_o rule_n that_o make_v they_o to_o be_v regular_a or_o irregular_a good_a or_o bad_a and_o so_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v compare_v with_o a_o rule_n and_o thereupon_o denominate_v they_o come_v under_o relation_n thus_o the_o challenge_v and_o fight_v with_o a_o man_n as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a

observe_v as_o it_o be_v in_o substance_n where_o one_o name_n v_o g._n man_n be_v use_v to_o signify_v the_o thing_n another_o v_o g._n father_n to_o signify_v the_o relation_n §_o 16._o but_o because_o very_o frequent_o the_o positive_a idea_n of_o the_o action_n and_o its_o moral_a relation_n be_v comprehend_v together_o under_o one_o name_n and_o the_o same_o word_n make_v use_v of_o to_o express_v both_o the_o mode_n or_o action_n and_o its_o moral_a rectitude_n or_o obliquity_n therefore_o the_o relation_n itself_o be_v less_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o there_o be_v often_o no_o

under_o one_o term_n those_o who_o yield_v too_o easy_o to_o the_o impression_n of_o sound_n and_o be_v forward_o to_o take_v name_n for_o thing_n be_v often_o mis●ed_v in_o their_o judgement_n of_o

also_o the_o moral_a pravity_n of_o the_o action_n and_o to_o denote_v its_o contrariety_n to_o the_o law_n man_n be_v apt_a to_o condemn_v whatever_o they_o hear_v call_v steal_v as_o a_o ill_a action_n disagree_v with_o the_o rule_n of_o right_n and_o yet_o the_o private_a take_v away_o his_o sword_n from_o a_o madman_n to_o prevent_v his_o do_v mischief_n though_o it_o be_v proper_o denominate_v steal_v as_o the_o name_n of_o such_o a_o mix_a mode_n yet_o when_o compare_v to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n when_o consider_v in_o its_o relation_n to_o that_o supreme_a rule_n it_o be_v no_o sin_n or_o transgression_n though_o the_o name_n steal_v ordinary_o carry_v such_o a_o intimation_n with_o it_o §_o 17._o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o relation_n of_o (null)_o action_n to_o a_o law_n which_o therefore_o i_o call_v moral_a relation_n it_o will_v make_v a_o volume_n to_o go_v over_o all_o sort_n of_o relation_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o i_o

relation_n which_o be_v so_o various_a and_o the_o occasion_n of_o it_o so_o many_o as_o many_o as_o there_o can_v be_v of_o compare_v thing_n one_o to_o another_o that_o it_o be_v not_o very_o easy_a to_o reduce_v it_o to_o rule_n or_o under_o just_a head_n those_o i_o have_v mention_v i_o think_v be_v some_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a and_o such_o as_o may_v serve_v to_o let_v we_o see_v from_o whence_o we_o get_v our_o idea_n of_o relation_n and_o wherein_o they_o be_v found_v but_o before_o i_o quit_v this_o argument_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v §_o 18._o first_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o relation_n terminate_v in_o and_o be_v ultimate_o found_v on_o those_o simple_a idea_n we_o have_v get_v from_o sensation_n or_o reflection_n so_o that_o all_o that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o thought_n ourselves_o if_o we_o think_v of_o any_o thing_n or_o have_v any_o meaning_n or_o will_v signify_v to_o other_o when_o we_o use_v word_n stand_v for_o relation_n be_v nothing_o but_o some_o simple_a idea_n or_o collection_n of_o simple_a idea_n compare_v one_o with_o another_o this_o be_v so_o manifest_a in_o that_o sort_n call_v proportional_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o for_o when_o a_o man_n say_v honey_n be_v sweet_a than_o wax_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o his_o thought_n in_o this_o relation_n terminate_v in_o this_o simple_a idea_n sweetness_n which_o be_v equal_o true_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n though_o where_o they_o be_v compound_v or_o decompound_v the_o simple_a idea_n they_o be_v make_v up_o of_o be_v perhaps_o seldom_o take_v notice_n of_o v_o g._n when_o the_o word_n father_n be_v mention_v first_o there_o be_v mean_v that_o particular_a of_o species_n or_o collective_a idea_n signify_v by_o

the_o idea_n of_o action_n which_o be_v any_o kind_n of_o thought_n or_o motion_n five_o the_o idea_n of_o good_a which_o signify_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v advance_v his_o happiness_n and_o terminate_v at_o last_o if_o examine_v in_o particular_a simple_a idea_n of_o which_o the_o word_n good_a in_o general_n signify_v any_o one_o but_o if_o remove_v from_o all_o simple_a idea_n quite_o it_o signify_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o thus_o also_o all_o moral_a word_n terminate_v at_o last_o though_o perhaps_o more_o remote_o in_o a_o collection_n of_o simple_a idea_n the_o immediate_a signification_n of_o relative_n word_n be_v very_o often_o other_o suppose_a know_a relation_n which_o if_o trace_v one_o to_o another_o still_o end_n in_o simple_a idea_n §_o 19_o second_o that_o in_o relation_n we_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o always_o as_o clear_v a_o notion_n of_o the_o relation_n as_o we_o have_v of_o those_o simple_a idea_n wherein_o it_o be_v found_v

and_o the_o relation_n be_v common_o overlooked_a v_o g._n a_o patron_n and_o client_n be_v easy_o allow_v to_o be_v relation_n but_o a_o constable_n or_o dictator_n be_v not_o so_o ready_o at_o

in_o our_o mind_n we_o have_v there_o so_o many_o clear_a and_o distinct_a idea_n of_o mix_a modes_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o concern_v our_o action_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v clear_a

there_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v three_o sort_n with_o their_o three_o different_a enforcement_n or_o reward_n and_o punishment_n for_o since_o it_o will_v be_v utter_o in_o vain_a to_o suppose_v a_o
