There is either a textual variant, a misreading on someone's part, or a bowdlerization here. In the copy I have of Wesley's Primitive Remedies (the title given to his Primitive Physik in an edition of 1973 by the Woodbridge Press Publishing Company in Santa Barbara CA) the critical word is not f*** but s*** (the stars representing the same letters in both cases.)
