But though I acknowledge this to be a true principle of association among ideas, I assert it to be the very same with that betwixt the ideas of cause and effects and to be an essential part in all our reasonings from that relation. It is the same case with those penances, which men inflict on themselves for their past sins and failings. Thus upon the whole I am hopeful, that nothing is wanting to an accurate proof of this system of ethics. This is not only easily conceived, but I will venture to affirm it is the only manner, in which we can conceive this subject. It is absurd, therefore, to imagine the senses can ever distinguish betwixt ourselves and external objects. Add to this, that every impression, external and internal, passions, affections, sensations, pains and pleasures, are originally on the same footing; and that whatever other differences we may observe among them, they appear, all of them, in their true colours, as impressions or perceptions.
