Oughts and Ends
As this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, ‗tis necessary that it shou'd be observ'd and explain'd' and at the same time that a reason should be given; for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it.
