that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o only_a favourite_n of_o nature_n which_o on_o the_o contrary_n seem_v to_o have_v level_v all_o those_o together_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o species_n upon_o

of_o life_n which_o afford_v we_o all_o our_o pleasure_n they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o true_a wisdom_n for_o a_o man_n to_o pursue_v his_o own_o advantage_n as_o far_o as_o the_o law_n allow_v it_o they_o account_v it_o piety_n to_o prefer_v the_o public_a good_a to_o one_o private_a concern_v but_o they_o think_v it_o unjust_a for_o a_o man_n to_o seek_v for_o his_o own_o

his_o own_o advantage_n for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o and_o that_o by_o so_o do_v a_o good_a man_n find_v as_o much_o pleasure_n one_o way_n as_o he_o part_n with_o another_o for_o as_o he_o may_v expect_v the_o like_a from_o other_o when_o he_o may_v come_v to_o need_v it_o so_o if_o that_o shall_v fail_v he_o yet_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o good_a action_n and_o the_o reflection_n that_o one_o

do_v easy_o convince_v a_o good_a soul_n thus_o upon_o a_o enquiry_n into_o the_o whole_a matter_n they_o reckon_v that_o all_o our_o action_n and_o even_o all_o our_o virtue_n terminate_v in_o pleasure_n as_o in_o our_o chief_a end_n and_o great_a happiness_n and_o they_o call_v every_o motion_n or_o state_n either_o of_o body_n or_o mind_n in_o which_o nature_n teach_v we_o to_o delight_v a_o pleasure_n and_o thus_o they_o cautious_o limit_v pleasure_n only_o to_o those_o appetite_n to_o which_o nature_n lead_v we_o for_o they_o reckon_v that_o nature_n lead_v we_o only_o to_o those_o

do_v not_o draw_v trouble_n on_o we_o after_o they_o but_o they_o look_v upon_o those_o delight_n which_o man_n by_o a_o foolish_a though_o common_a mistake_n call_v pleasure_n as_o if_o they_o can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o the_o use_n of_o word_n as_o thing_n that_o not_o only_o do_v not_o advance_v our_o happiness_n but_o do_v rather_o obstruct_v it_o very_o much_o because_o they_o do_v so_o entire_o possess_v the_o mind_n of_o those_o that_o once_o go_v into_o they_o with_o a_o false_a notion_n of_o pleasure_n that_o there_o be_v no_o room_n leave_v for_o true_a and_o pure_a pleasure_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o in_o themselves_o have_v nothing_o that_o be_v true_o delight_v on_o the_o contrary_a they_o have_v a_o good_a deal_n of_o
