Field of Ethics — its divisions.

Ch. Prudence — probity, beneficence — under one or other
of these heads denominations are comprised it may be seen, every thing every human quality
that bears conduces to human happiness — every thing — or at least every thing which taking for the standard of these virtues
conduciveness to well-being, ought to bear the name of
virtue

1
Prudence, probity, beneficence —
under one or other of these
heads is employed every
thing conducive to happiness.
or that can be called
virtue.

Prudence probity and beneficence — the Trinity of the
moral world.

To these and these alone should belong the superior title of cardinal ones virtues.

On this view of the matter by these three qualities
taken together the whole field of Ethics is covered: and
Whatsoever is capable of being to any useful purpose use
delivered observed in the subject of Ethics will consent in
motivation concerning the application to be made of these
virtues.

2
By these three qualities
is the whole field of
Ethics covered.
Hence what can be
usefully delivered in Ethics
will be instruction how
to apply these virtues —

Meantime [these are not — much indeed do they far indeed are they from
want of being all the qualities which items articles that are
most commonly inserted in the catalogue spoken of in the character of virtues.] Of
Under the name of virtues many not inconsiderable
is the number of those other qualities, which under
the same general appellation are wont to be placed
on a level with these three.

3
The articles of commonly
inserted in the catalogue
of virtues are much more
numerous —
many others are
even wont to be placed
on a level with these
three —

Supposing This being the case, it follows, that,
if by these three virtues in the catalogue character of all comprehensive
ones the whole field of morals is completely
covered — what follows is — that to one or more of these
three all these others are, all of them, in some
way to other reducible. resolvable.

4
If by these the field
is completely covered
it follows that all the
others are reducible to one
or other of these three

Such accordingly, it is believed, will be found to be the
case.

5
Such will be found
to be the case
