Natural Law Divine
53. Every law governing the human machinery is to be considered
just as truly divine in origin, in character, and in importance as the
word of God. Every careless action, any abuse put upon the wonderful
mechanism, by disregarding his specified laws of the human habitation,
is a violation of God’s law. This law embraces the treatment of the
entire being.

muscle, every faculty which has been entrusted to man.—

Its Penalty
55. God has formed laws to govern every part of our constitutions,
and these laws which he has placed in our being are divine, and for
every transgression there is a fixed penalty, which sooner or later must
be realized.—
The Health Reformer, October 1, 1866
.
56. Our first duty, one which we owe to God, to ourselves, and to
our fellow men, is to obey the laws of God, which include the laws of
health.—

57. The laws governing the physical nature are as truly divine in
their origin and character as the law of the ten commandments. Man is
fearfully and wonderfully made; for Jehovah has inscribed his law by
his own mighty hand on every part of the human body.—
