have_v hear_v it_o affirm_v that_o these_o notion_n be_v only_a quality_n which_o dispose_v man_n to_o keep_v that_o peace_n in_o the_o world_n of_o which_o they_o have_v a_o beneficial_a share_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v law_n till_o they_o be_v so_o constitute_v by_o the_o civil_a sanction_n of_o a_o supreme_a power_n and_o that_o man_n do_v then_o yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n and_o so_o have_v no_o other_o motive_n to_o those_o which_o you_o call_v virtuous_a action_n but_o self-love_n it_o be_v manifest_a also_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o which_o you_o say_v of_o the_o natural_a sense_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a implant_v in_o our_o soul_n yet_o man_n be_v very_o different_a in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v their_o definition_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o irreconcilable_a difference_n between_o right_n and_o wrong_n which_o you_o believe_v to_o be_v real_a the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v confound_v it_o in_o their_o action_n i_o may_v add_v also_o that_o some_o who_o be_v esteem_v virtuous_a be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v of_o your_o mind_n that_o they_o make_v no_o

observe_v the_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a in_o our_o design_n and_o action_n be_v not_o so_o indispensable_a as_o you_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v i_o know_v very_o well_o say_v

shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o virtue_n be_v immutable_a that_o the_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n can_v be_v change_v and_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o
