In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery. The vice entirely escapes you, as long as you consider the object. To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal. Generation, in the human race as well as among the irrational animals, depends on so many accidents--of occasion, of proper sustenance, of the laws enacted by the government of a country of vice even, that it is difficult to believe in the eternal existence of a being whose life has begun under circumstances so mean and trivial, and so entirely dependent upon our own control. In giving a reason, therefore, for the pleasure or uneasiness, we sufficiently explain the vice or virtue. Secondly, I would have anyone give me a reason, why virtue and vice may not be involuntary, as well as beauty and deformity.
