Morality capable of Demonstration The idea of a supreme Being, infinite in power, goodness, and wisdom, whose workmanship we are, and on whom we depend; and the idea of ourselves, as understanding, rational creatures, being such as are clear in us, would, I suppose, if duly considered and pursued, afford such foundations of our duty and rules of action as might place MORALITY amongst the SCIENCES CAPABLE OF DEMONSTRATION:
Morala frogagarria da. Oso argiak direlarik guretzat honako bi ideia hauek, alegia, gu egin gaituen eta bere menpe gauzkan ahal, ontasun eta jakituriaz amaigabea den Izaki goren baten ideia, eta geure buruaz adimendun sorkari arrazional gisa dugun ideia, uste dut, behar bezala aztertu eta ondorioak ateraz gero, hain oinarri sendoa eskainiko liguketela gure eginbehar eta jardun-arauentzat, non morala zientzia frogagarrien artean jarri ahal izanen genukeen.
