John Wesley among the physicians

Wesley's view of health and disease was essentially theological. The most enlightened physicians of his time placed the vis medicatrix naturae centrally in their therapy, and used such methods as they thought would assist and not hinder her healing power. Wesley was not content to think in terms of nature's healing, but looked beyond to the Author of nature, deeming Him to be wholly desirous for the good of his creatures. - Epilogue.
