Acts virtuous
Virtues & Vices
Be the usefulness what it may, in neither case
it has been said can there be virtue without effort. Of this
effort, the seat is different according to the nature of the
virtue. In the case of prudence the seat is principally chiefly in the understanding:
in the case of benevolence and beneficence it is
principally in the will and the affections
A man suppose meeting me on the road
an adversary (suppose aims a stroke at me with a
club. I spring aside and escape the stroke. Here is self usefulness
preservation, but here is no room for prudence.
Hearing that an adversary is laying in wait
for me at a certain place in a certain road I avoid
that road and repair to the place where I have business
by a longer and more expensive road. Here usefulness
may be exactly the same as in the other case.
But whether the choice so made was prudent or imprudent
here has been an effort made by the understanding
— here has been room at least for prudence.
So in the case where the principal seat and the effort
is in the will. At the shop of the Baker, I purchase
a loaf for my own dinner. Here is usefulness — double
usefulness: usefulness to myself in by the preservation
of life:— usefulness to the baker by his profit upon
the loaf.
Effort then there must be in the case.
But it is not necessary provided in
Suppose, when I have got the loaf observing
a man who being in a famished state has more need
of it, I give him the loaf and so go without my dinner:
here too is usefulness. But besides usefulness,
here is virtue: for to subject a man's self to pain in
any shape, as I by the supposition have subjected myself
to it in the shape of hunger requires an effort. and this
effort I have made
