(Thomas) Medica Sacra Or, A Commentary on the Most Remarkable Diseases Mentioned in the Holy Scriptures Produced by Irma Spehar and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries) "Medica Sacra" by Richard Mead is a medical commentary written in the mid-18th century. This work explores the various diseases mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, providing insights and interpretations based on both biblical texts and medical knowledge of the time. Mead aims to bridge the gap between faith and science by addressing illnesses depicted in scripture, which range from the diseases of Job to the ailments of biblical kings. The opening of "Medica Sacra" introduces the author's intentions and background, particularly focusing on the disease of Job. Mead explains Job's extraordinary afflictions, believed to be a test of his piety and integrity. He emphasizes the dual aspects of Job's sufferings and recovery as exemplifying divine power and human endurance. Additionally, Mead remarks on the historical and literary significance of Job’s narrative, offering commentary on the constancy of Job’s faith amid dire circumstances and how the story serves as a lesson for the audience regarding patience in adversity. This foundation sets the stage for a more systematic exploration of illnesses throughout the text.
