SECOND EDITION

REVISED AND ENLARGED.

"Nor is it left arbitrary, at the will and pleasure of every man, to
do as he list; after the dictates of a depraved humour and extravagant
phancy, to live at what rate he pleaseth; but every one is bound to ob-
serve the Injunctions and Law of Nature, upon the penalty of forfeiting
their health, strength, and liberty,—the true and long enjoyment of them-
selves."
