To continue the experiment, I change anew the relation of ideas, and suppose the vice to belong to myself.

 The discussion of this question will be more proper, when we enter upon an exact detail of each particular vice and virtue. This is one program you won't feel starved on.  This partiality, then, and unequal affection, must not only have an influence on our behaviour and conduct in society, but even on our ideas of vice and virtue; so as to make us regard any remarkable transgression of such a degree of partiality, either by too great an enlargement, or contraction of the affections, as vicious and immoral. 

Mean while it may not be amiss to observe from these definitions of natural and unnatural, that nothing can be more unphilosophical than those systems, which assert, that virtue is the same with what is natural, and vice with what is unnatural.
