Happiness is the end of all men, and attainable by all.
God governs by general not particular laws; intends happiness to be equal, and to be so it must be social, since all particular happiness depends on general.
It is necessary for order, and the common peace, that external goods be unequal, therefore happiness is not constituted in these.
The balance of human happiness kept equal, notwithstanding externals, by hope and fear.
In what the happiness of individuals consists, and that the good man has the advantage even in this world.
That no man is unhappy through virtue.
That external goods are not the proper rewards of virtue, often inconsistent with, or destructive of it; but that all these can make no man happy without virtue. Instances in each of them.
1. Riches.
2. Honours.
3. Titles.
