Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.

The Tongue May Be Employed About, And Made To Serve All The Purposes Of Vice, In Tempting And Deceiving, In Perjury And Injustice.

Happiness Or Satisfaction Consists Only In The Enjoyment Of Those Objects Which Are By Nature Suited To Our Several Particular Appetites, Passions, And Affections.

Man May Act According To That Principle Or Inclination Which For The Present Happens To Be Strongest, And Yet Act In A Way Disproportionate To, And Violate His Real Proper Nature.

The Only Distinct Meaning Of The Word "natural" Is Stated, Fixed, Or Settled; Since What Is Natural As Much Requires And Presupposes An Intelligent Agent To Render It So, I.e. To Effect It Continually Or At Stated Times, As What Is Supernatural Or Miraculous Does To Effect It For Once.

Every Man Is To Be Considered In Two Capacities, The Private And Public; As Designed To Pursue His Own Interest, And Likewise To Contribute To The Good Of Others.
