The King is the head of the Parliament is excellent and satisfactory because all Interests of the Kingdom having in some sort a share in Government as they are concerned in the Legislative Power can give such an account of and make an inspection into the general Grievances of the Nation and rectifie them by sober Debates and deliberate Councils in reference to wholsome Laws which being stated are made first Bills by the approbation of both Houses and are afterward recommended to His Sacred Majesty for his Royal Assent as the Essence of the Law The Essence of the Law is founded in the Royal Signature of the King The Bills of the Lords and Commons being only preparatory as giving the rough draughts of Laws which are afterward finished as receiving their form birth and life from His Majesty's Royal Signature Wherefore it is most just and equitable for Subjects to pay their most humble Duty and Reverence to the King in their humble Addresses to His Majesty and comply with his Sacred Commands in active and passive Obedience Resistance of the King is unlawful by reason it is not lawful upon any occasion whatsoever for the Subject to take the Sword into his own hand and dispute the Commands of his Soveraign because in so doing he maketh himself Absolute and Supreme and as much as in him lieth dissolveth the Government setled by Law and is guilty of Rebellion Murder Injustice and Anarchy which horrid Crimes would be much aggravated with ingratitude if acted in the Reign of our most Gracious Sovereign a King of great Clemency Love and Mercy and other Christian Graces who out of His Royal Inclinations to do acts of Grace Justice and Honor is always willing to gratifie His Subjects with any thing that may tend to their good and happiness And again It becomes all His Subjects to speak their return of gratitude and obedience to His Sacred Commands by endeavouring by all means possible to approve themselves true Sons of the Church of England in being Pious to God Loyal to the King and Just and Charitable to one another and to their utmost to maintain the truly Antient Reformed Religion of the Church of England The Church of England is excellent for Doctrine and Discipline as the most Excellent for Purity of Doctrine according to Holy Writ and Uniformity of Discipline as now established by Law according to the practice of the Primitive Church immediately succeeding the holy Apostles under which the Nation of England hath been rendred most happy even to the admiration if not the envy of other reformed Churches in the Reign of Edward the Sixth Queen Elizabeth King James King Charles the First of Blessed Memory And I hope will continue as long as the Sun and Moon endures under the most Gracious Protection of our now Soveraign Lord the King and His Royal Successors Natural and Christian Philosophy Natural and Christian Philosophy are nearly related to each other although they seem at first sight to be great opposites by reason of their different principles and dispositions as the one is natural and the other supernatural yet upon more deliberate thoughts they are very much akin as near relatives to each other in reference one belongeth to the structure and the other to the superstructure of the same subject whose essence they do not innovate but only refine its qualifications and both terminate into the same end the preservation and accomplishment of Man's life and health Theology and Ethicks The Principles of Theology and Ethicks are more sublime then that of Physick as treating of Piety and Morality have elevated supernatural principles and refined precepts to enoble the Soul in the speculative part of Knowledge and Practice in relation chiefly to spiritual actions as they tend to Eternal felicity which is seated in a higher sphaere then Physick which is of a lower Orb as propounding the knowledge of natural principles of the faculties and operations of the Soul as confined to the Body only ministerial to it and as Physick giveth methods consisting in the salutary Aphorisms tending to the easie and safe administration of proper Medicines directed to the conservation of Life and Health the perfection and enjoyment of it as they are subservient to a present happiness Health and Happiness are the end of Christian and Natural Philosophy which only is ambulatory to that of future Glory Although Natural and Christian Philosophy of which Physick is a Branch seem to be at as great a distance as Earth and Heaven Nature and Grace Grace and Glory yet they may be well reconciled and comply with each other as the Body is the Organ of the Soul as Nature is the Subject of Grace and Grace the Perfection of Nature and Glory the Consummation of both And Piety Morality Life and Health ought to be Friends and not Strangers to each other by reason they are nearly allied and have joynt subsistence and interest as they preserve and perfect each other as Art accomplisheth Nature and Piety refineth Morality and both do minister to Life and Health as their choice and necessary Preservatives Whereupon I hope this will make my Apology which beggeth the favor of the Courteous Reader to entertain with Candour my following Discourses of Piety and Morality as conducive to my Faculty of which I treat not as a Divine but as a Philosopher not only as a Physician but as a Christian too who have thereupon a peculiar obligation lying upon me to advance Life Health and Happiness by all fit Instruments of every Rank and Degree whatsoever The procurement and preservation of Health is my proper work and to promote it by all due ways and methods The preservation of Health is the duty of a Physician is my great Interest and Duty and in order to it to advise Piety towards God Justice to our Neighbour and Sobriety to our own Persons as the best Diateticks and great preservatives of Health and Life The Body and the Soul being two substances of which we are essentially constituted are nearly akin to each other Body and Soul are the essential parts of Man the one being the Cabinet and the other the Jewel the one the Matter the other the Form the one the Organ the other a divine Particle acting it the one being ministerial to the others more excellent Essence and Operations So that these intimate Friends and Companions do highly sympathize in each others happiness They are both subjects of Health and Life Body and Soul are the subject of Life and Health in a different capacity the one natural and the other spiritual the last is perfective of the former these two dear Associates are highly compleasant in congratulating and condoling each others health and sickness The Soul being acted with spiritual graces and divine perfections doth highly improve the Body in giving it salutary rules of Justice and Temperance which confine the irregular and sensual Appetities within their due limits in order to the fruition of
