PHYSICK: IN THE STYLE OF JOHN WESLEY

Primitive Physick contained simple herbal-type medicines for a collection of common maladies that people could use instead of wasting their money on physicians who he considered had placed themselves on a level above ordinary men. The book proved to be very popular and went through a number of editions. It became an early version of the many ‘home doctor’ publications that followed (Fig. 2). John Wesley was born in the rectory at Epworth, Lincolnshire, in 1703, the 15th child of Samuel and Susannah Wesley. He was educated at Charterhouse, and afterwards at Christchurch, Oxford following which he entered the church where he was made a deacon in 1725 and ordained priest in 1728. From 1729 he participated in a religious study group at Oxford organized by his brother Charles. The members of this group were dubbed the ‘Methodists’ because of their emphasis on methodical study and devotion. 2
