Excerpta ex literis L
In Novellis publicis video, ex literis Illissippone scriptis
23 septemb. 1700 Illustrissimum Comitem de Galveas Collegium
novum fundare velle in Ebora urbe, ubi cum alia, tum philosophia
rem
physica, et Mathesis docerentur, inque eam, reditum annuum quater mille
nummorum quos cruciatos vocant, destinasse.
Generosum consilium et pulcherrimum institutum laudabunt omnes
intelligentes et boni publici amantes: praesertim cum in physica et mathesi
utiliter erudiri possent, lingua vulgari, non illi tantum, qui volunt versari
in literis, sed et homines militares, mercatores, nautae, méchanici, et
plerique patres familias, quodcunque fere vitae genus sectantes. Quoniam
autem in similibus ego alicubi non sine successu laboravi, audeo dicere
quid mihi hac occasione venerit in mentem:
Non sola Societas
Jesu omnia ad majorem Dei Gloriam referre profitetur, sed idem faciunt
certe facere debent, pii omnes.
Dorro Theologia revelata
maximam quidem divinarum laudum materiam suppeditat, quotidie
excultam a concionatoribus scriptoribusque rerum sacrarum: sed paucissimt
cogitant de gloria Dei ex admirandis naturae et scientiarum arcanis
amplificanda; cum tamen non tantum psalmi Davidici praeeant,
sed et ipse Galenus merito crediderit, hymnum cani deo, si divina
humani corporis structura pro dignitate explicetur.
et Gloriae Der
 daret
taque sape optavi ego, condicollegium, quale utinam vel Evora
omnium prima daret, dela gloria de dos; in quo non tantum in
philosophia naturali et mathesi praesertim per experimenta instituerentur
adolescentes; sed simul docerentur more veterum Hebreorum omnia
referre ad Deum deique laudem. Quod ipsis tota deinde vita
profutorum esset, ad laetitiam animi, et virtutum exercitia, et cogitationes salula
salutares. dum ipsi etiam artifices et mechanici, quos instruit physico- mathesic
practica, suum vitae genus exercentes, assuescerent attollere mentem ad Deum
et actus diviniamoris supremi, non recitatorios, sed animum ex rebus ipsis perceptis
Commoventes, exeqi. Ita simul divinis humanisque officiis satisfiet, et
recta intentione etiam paevis in speciem, pretium decrescet X x
