In the 1700's the word "virtue " meant honesty and truth. He listed them from the most important to the least. To be a virtuous person was a complement that was considered to be the best thing a person could be called. To conduct business in the 1700's the word of a person was considered to be binding and their virtue was counted on as something that was regarded as part of their reputation. We have lost this idea of virtue and that is sad.
