This relation it will be impossible for me fully to explain before I come to treat of justice and the other moral virtues.

 But as authors do not commonly use this precaution, I shall presume to recommend it to the readers; and am persuaded, that this small attention would subvert all the vulgar systems of morality, and let us see, that the distinction of vice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason. Don't believe it?  In like manner, the approbation. which attends natural abilities, may be somewhat different to the feeling from that, which arises from the other virtues, without making them entirely of a different species. 

The very essence of virtue, according to this hypothesis, is to produce pleasure and that of vice to give pain.

 The same truth may be proved still more evidently by that reasoning, which proved justice in general to be an artificial virtue. that others are to imitate my example, that I can be induced to embrace that virtue; since nothing but this combination can render justice advantageous, or afford me any motives to conform my self to its rules.
