Self-tormenting-Mutilation &c.
There are no scarce any sorts of bodily pains which some
person or other out of mistaken piety has not inflicted
on himself; & there are no sorts of bodily
pains and uneasinesses which a person from the same
motive is not liable to commit. When any one
is so weak as to think that the tormenting himself
or any other any more than sensible correction is the way to recommend
himself to the favour of an all-benevolent being God there is no help for it: his own folly will
be but too severe a punishment.
