Virtue, As Such, Naturally Procures Considerable Advantages

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.

But To Us, Probability Is The Very Guide Of Life.

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

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

Every One Of Our Passions And Affections Hath Its Natural Stint And Bound, Which May Easily Be Exceeded; Whereas Our Enjoyments Can Possibly Be But In A Determinate Measure And Degree.
