Peace of mind and health of body united: or, a discourse, shewing the distinction between a wounded conscience, convicted by a sense of sin, and a wounded spirit, proceeding from a disordered body; Proving, That the latter is more grievous than the former, and comes not under the Denomination of Conscience, but of Disease, to which all Mankind are liable; and that, in either Case, the miserably afflicted are neither mad, nor out of their Senses; but only that their animal Spirits are either elated, confused, and hurried, or otherwise oppressed and dejected. Shewing, That all Severities and Confinement are prejudicial; as are all Endeavours that give Pain, or sink the Spirits; and that, In the former Case, nothing can relieve them but Divines; and, in the latter, nothing but the judicious Physician, and Apothecaries that will be true both to Physician and Patient. In a letter to a clergyman. By an honourer of the faculty.
