“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 observe the Injunctions and Law of Nature , upon the penalty of forfeiting their health , strength , and liberty ,—the true and long enjoyment of themselves.”
