Now it has been observed, that our own sensations determine the vice and virtue of any quality, as well as those sensations, which it may excite in others.

 The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. Ideas always represent their objects or impressions; and vice versa, there are some objects necessary to give rise to every idea. But to make the matter still more certain, I alter the object; and instead of vice and virtue, make the trial upon beauty and deformity, riches and poverty, power and servitude. For if the objects of our senses continue to exist, even when they are not perceived, their existence is of course independent of and distinct from the perception: and vice versa, if their existence be independent of the perception and distinct from it, they must continue to exist, even though they be not perceived. This transaction is 100% safe.
