First sentence: THE Author of the Fable of the Bees very pofitively affirms, that the nearer we fearch into human Nature, the more we fhall be convinc'd, that the Moral Virtues are the political Off-fpring which Flattery begot upon Pride, i. e. that they are all a Chimera, an idle Fancy, a meer Trick impos'd upon the World by defigning Law-givers and Philofophers.
