a HOLY L IFF. 



Thde Appetites implanted in us, and all 

 Animals, are to thofe Things or Aftions, 

 which ferve either to the fupport and -pre- 

 fervation of the Individuum^ or each parti- 

 cular Animal \ or to the propagation of the 

 Kind. Thofe which ferve to the fupport 

 and prefervation of the Indwiduum, are the 

 Appetites" of Meat and Drink, or the Afti- 

 ons of Eating and Drinking: To which the 

 Divine Providence hath not only premifed 

 a painful Senfe of Hunger to be a Monitor 

 to us when we have need of Meat and 

 Drink, and compel us to the ufe of them ; 

 but hath alfo annexed Pleafure to the very 

 Aftions of Eating and Drinking, which o- 

 therwife would have been no very grateful 

 Exercife. 



This Pleafure of eating and drinking a- 

 bides no longer than till the Neceffities of 

 Nature are fatisfied, and fo far Religion 

 doth allow of it. When our Hunger and 

 Thirft are well appeafed, all that follows is 

 but a faint kind of Pleafure, if it be not . 

 rather to be ftyled Satiety, or Glutting : Yet 

 doth not the 'ufe of Meats and Drinks con- 

 Cft in an indivifible point ; there is a 

 more moderate and reftrained ufe of them : 

 When we keep within the bounds of our 

 Appetites ; dw^ o$wi as Hippocrates
