Paffions and Affections, in fuch a manner as it shall appear that the Virtue of the beft Man is by one Method or other corruptible; let us look out for fome Expedient to turn thofe Paffions and Affections on the fide of Truth and Honour. When a Man has laid it down for a Pofition, that parting with his Integrity, in the minuteft Circumftance, is lofing fo much of his very Self, Self-love will become a Virtue. By this means Good and Evil will be the only Objects of Diflike and Approbation; and he that injures any Man, has effectually wounded the Man of this Turn as much as if the Harm had been to himself. This feems to be the only Expedient to arrive at an Impartiality; and a Man who follows the Dictates of Truth and right Reason, may by Artifice be led into Error, but never can into Guilt. T VOL.
