The parts of the body were all necessary to the whole because they had varying forms and functions, but their contributions were not all of the same significance. In the letter of instruction that opened this chapter, dissenting ministers exhorted their younger coreligionists to “Let every one Design and Aim to be serviceable in his Place and Relation” because “every little Member of our natural Body profits the whole; the Eye is the light of all the Body; the Tongue pleads for the whole, or for any part; the Hand receives and labours as much as for the Foot, or the Head, as for it self.” The phrase “serviceable in his Place and Relation” is important here because it signaled the hierarchy among body parts.
