Morality Is That Relation or Proportion Which Actions Bear to A Given Rule. It Is Generally Used in Reference to A Good Life. Morality Is Distinguished From Religion Thus: "religion Is A Studious Conformity of Our Actions to the Relations in Which We Stand to Each Other in Civil Society. Morality Comprehends Only A Part of Religion; but Religion Comprehends the Whole of Morality. Morality Finds All Her Motives Here Below; Religion Fetches All Her Motives From Above. The Highest Principle in Morals Is A Just Regard to the Rights of Men; The First Principle in Religion Is the Love of God." The Various Duties of Morality Are Considered in Their Respective Places in This Work. See Bishop Horsley's Charge, 1790; Paley's and Grove's Moral Philosophy; Beattie's Elements of Moral Science; Evans's Sermons on Christian Temper; Watt's Sermons on Christian Morals; Mason's Christian Morals; H. More's Hints. vol. 2: p. 245; Gisborne's Sermons designed to illustrate and enforce Christian Morality.
