SECT. XXII. Self-Homicide against Nature.
SElf-Preservation is to All a Law,Which Nature hath imprest Life's Length to draw.How comes it then, that Man should only findeSelf-Murder out, against e'en Naturies kinde?Self-Murder! Why, my Hair affrighted stands;My Knees do Knock; and Tremblings seize my Hands.After amazement I examine, Who'Tis dares Such Deeds, as Well as 'tis, can do?
