The following Things in Mr. Hutcheson's Enquiry concerning moral Good and Evil, are evidently agreeable to the Nature of Things, and the Voice of human Sense and Reason. Sect. II. P. 132, 133. Every Action which we apprehend as either morally good or evil, is always supposed to FLOW FROM some Affections towards sensitive Natures. And whatever we call Virtue or Vice, is either some such Affection, or some Action CONSEQUENT UPON IT.—All the Actions counted religious in any Country, are supposed by those who count them so, to FLOW FROM some Affections towards the Deity: and whatever we call social Virtue, we still suppose to FLOW FROM Affections towards our Fellow-Creatures.—Prudence, if it is only employed in promoting private Interest, is never imagined to be a Virtue. In these Things Dr. Turnbull expressly agrees with Mr. Hutcheson, who is his admired Author.*
