The two principles of man, self-love and reason, both necessary.

Self-love the stronger, and why.

Their end the same.

The passions and their use.

The predominant passion and its force.

Its necessity in directing men to different purposes.

Its providential use in fixing our principle, and ascertaining our virtue.

Virtue and vice joined in our mixed nature; the limits near, yet the things separate and evident. The office of reason.

Vice odious in itself and how we deceive ourselves into it.

The ends of Providence, and general good, answered in our passions and imperfections. How usefully these are distributed to all orders of men.
