BESIDES what has been said in the preceding _Chapters_, touching the _SOUL_, its _Powers_ and _Faculties_; when we duly consider the beautiful _Form_ and amiable _Figure_ of the BODY, so nicely adapted to the sublime _Qualities_ of the SOUL, with its curious _Structure_, and majestick _Stature_, erected to _Heaven_, whither its natural Tendency leads; besides the proportionable _Symmetry_ and exact _Commensuration_ of all its _Parts_: Surely we cannot, I hope, without the greatest Amazement, contemplate and admire the incomparable _Art_, and incomprehensible _Skill_, of the great ARTIFICER: And with magnificent _David_[10], break out in _Eulogies_ of Praise, and ardent _Exclamations_ of Love and Admiration. BUT more especially: _first_, when we distinctly view the slender _Filaments_, the minute _Vessels_, the elaborate _Contextures_, and various _Configurations_ of the different ORGANS of this BODY. _Secondly_, When we duly consider the Power of its natural _Faculties_, the Situation of the _Entrails_, the Rise of the _Nerves_ from the _Brain_, the Ducts or Conduits of the _Arteries_ from the _Heart_, and the Original of the _Veins_ from the _Liver_. _Thirdly_, When we call to remembrance, and ponder what I have been hinting upon, to wit, the _Power_ of the natural _Faculties_ of the SOUL, by which they execute their relative _Functions_; besides, the _Ætherial Spirit_ (the Seat and Vehicle of our _natural Heat_) dividing it self into a _three-fold Diversity_, and appropriating to itself as many _Residences_, viz. the _Animal_ in the _Brain_, the _Vital_ in the _Heart_, and the _Natural_ Spirit in the _Liver_: And then again, how these _three_, by a Fomentation of _native Heat_, and _nutritious Humours_, cherish and refresh the whole BODY supplying every _Part_ with requisite Strength and Vigour. _Fourthly_, When at last we contemplate that Piece of incomprehensible _Artifice_, which gives a respective _Species_ and _Form_ to every particular _Part_, and implants a peculiar _Faculty_ in every distinct _Member_, inducing such an Excellency into the whole BODY; that is, the _Formation_ and _Delineation_ of the FOETUS in the _Womb_. THIS is such a great and curious _Master-piece_, that all _Others_, as well as the _Physician_, will find it not only their _Duty_, but also their great Satisfaction and Pleasure, to know and examine into this inimitable MACHINE of the divine _Architect_. THE great _Galen_ was converted at a _Dissection_, and durst not but acknowledge a _Supreme Being_, upon that Survey of his admirable _Handy-work_; saying,[11] “_How much is it our special Duty therefore to admire the Wisdom and Providence of the Workman? Since, tho’ it is far more easy to set forth in Words the Beginning of Things, than to form the Work; yet our Expressions and Words fall so much short of the Wisdom of him that made us, that we are not able to explain, what gave him so little trouble to make._”
