propension

Some, either from having been linked to vice by a natural propension or long practice, cannot see its deformity.

It is said of Dr. Main, that his propension to innocent raillery was so great, that it kept him company even after death.

This propension has drawn on him, tho' very unjustly, the censure of some grave men.

You have the same propension, that I have, in favour of what is contiguous above what is remote.
