Treatise on Ethics (1684)

Part 1 On virtue: universal reason is the wisdom of God himself; there is no virtue other than the love of order; the love of order is not differnt from charity; two fundamental truths of this treatise; on the strength of the mind; on the freedom of the mind; on obedience to order; on the means furnished by religion for acquiring the love of order; why the Church in its prayers addresses itself to the Father by way of the Son; on the occasional causes of those feelings and movements of the soul which resist the efficacy of grace, whether grace of light or of feeling; on what sort of death we must die in order to see God, to be united to reason and delivered from concupiscence; on the imagination; on the passions. Part 2 On duties: the just often do wicked deeds; our duties to God should be related to His attributed - His power, His wisdom and His love; on the duties we owe to God's wisdom; duties owed to divine love; the three divine persons each impress their own mark on our minds and our duties honour all three equally; duties in society, generally; duties of esteem are owed to everyone; duties of benevolence and respect; domestic duties of husband and wife; origin of the diversity of conditions; on duties among equals; continuation of the same subject; on duties each of us owes to himself.
