2 Virtue what

Extra-regarding or self-regarding virtue consists in is considered as
giving a practical preference of a to a ranch but greater good by a sacrifice having place in so far as
giving against the current of particular the party's own individual inclination or at least against the
current of general inclination general inclination of mankind, a preference is given to
a greater good in its coming in competition with a less:
viz. in the case of extra-regarding virtue, in so far as
for the sake of producing a more extensive and thence upon the whole
a greater mass of good receivable by another person or set assemblage
of persons, a man sacrifices forbears to possession of or does what depends upon
him for sacrificing a lesser mass of good receivable by himself:

As to The good thus forborne it may be either of the positive
or of the negative stamp. In so far as it is of the positive
stamp, it the virtue consists in the forbearance to possess and or enjoy some lot or lots of
positive lot of pleasure: in so far as it is of the negative stamp it the virtue
consists in the a mans subjecting himself to some positive lot or lots of
pain

On this any occasion of this sort the above description sacrifice and self-denial
naturally are wont to present themselves, as proper to be employed.
In so far as it is pleasure that is abstinence has place the good in question
being is of the positive kind, viz of the nature of pleasure and it is by abstinence
[that the virtue virtue is exercised] that the exercise of virtue is
performed, the propriety of employin use made of them
is strictly and manifestly obviously proper. In the case so far
as it the good sacrificed is of the negative kind viz if it consisting in
the exemption from positive pain, it is by the and it is accordingly self-subjection
to positive pain that the sacrifice of the good is
made, the use thus made of the sacrifice and self-denial is less obvious
and seems less natural and less strictly proper.
