The Love Of Liberty That Is Not

The Love Of Liberty That Is Not A Real Principle Of Dutiful Behavior To Authority Is As Hypocritical As The Religion That Is Not Productive Of A Good Life.

Thus Self-love As One Part Of Human Nature, And The Several Particular Principles As The Other Part, Are, Themselves, Their Objects And Ends, Stated And Shown.

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 Private Interest Of The Individual Would Not Be Sufficiently Provided For By Reasonable And Cool Self-love Alone; Therefore The Appetites And Passions Are Placed Within As A Guard And Further Security, Without Which It Would Not Be Taken Due Care Of.

Virtue, As Such, Naturally Procures Considerable Advantages To The Virtuous.
