Possum contentus agere, quiete honorata, qua divino munere
fruor, et me studiis meis involvere, nisi spes aliquid egregium
praestandi pro Re publica, et communi bono met te
in hxi e latebris prodire jubeat.
Pro invento illo superius memorato, nihil aliud mihi stipulor
quam ea ex quibus facultatem nanciscar praectam scientias
artesque eximie juvandi
Et cum nihil sit in Republica quod majorem cum scientiis realibus
conrestm
cognationem habuat, quam Res fodinarum et Mineralium
ub ubi major appareat scientiarum realium utilitas, quam rep
fodinarum et mineralium cura, in qua ego, si quisquam alius
theoriam cum praxi conjunxi;  putem hc hic mihi materiam
praeberi posse, non tantum insigne quiddam et tructuosum
praestandi, sed et sub rerum Mechanicarum praetextu illa ipsa
xigendi exequendi, quae alias sine suspicione hominum tractare
inenta
vix licet
Habeo etiam aequissimum et publicae utilitati convenientissimum
assignari
togandae pecumae consilium, cu ex quo certum aliquid destinari
his destinatis
meis consilus posset, ne aliunde cum magna difficultate, et rerum
retardatione propositi emo tari extundere sit opus.
Et in universum, praestat quiescere, quam mensuris non
bene sumtis irrito succesii et dedecori sese exponere.
itaque non videor culpandus, si omnia tam circum specte instituere
optem ut non facile ausis excidam; nec ab aliorum sid volun
incerta
plurium voluntate non semper aequa pendere cogar.
