vite aestimatarum
rationum tabulas evidenter ordinare ad con-
alusionem habendam; ita inventionis est ex rerum
visceribus nemine admonente eruere argumenta
proposita;
quibus ve quaestio definiatur, imo et
ad artem inveniendi pertinet nosse formare quae-
stiones vel quod eodem redit, nosse instituere observationes
nosse
sumere experimenta. Hujus artis nondum
traditae vim atque amplitudinem eo perspexi magis
quo majore studio  ab ineunte aetate solitus sum
resetiam ab aliis truditas proprio Marte investigam quam tamen neque contemno, neque contemmendam habeo dudum
usque adeo ut cum duodecenm ecennis puer ogica
operam darem et compendia Arithmebca mihi

cum Historiam saciam profanamque, et Geogracorum libros
patiro sermone versubam. Cum forte livius incidit Hi

invitabat, utusi legi, pauca intellexi,
aedium Lexico utebar, nam evolvendi taedium festi
natio mea non capiebat. Nihilo secius ego continnabam
in autore pervolvendo crescebat pautatim, intelligentra
in progressu, denique uirum dictielumal
denique ab integro lectionem inclvarem, jam pleraque patebant
piaterquam hitus veleres, aliaque  id genus, quae nec
a linquae pento statim iptelliguatur. Mox cuum
in poetas iicidissem, intra cuius anni spatium effeci
ut aliquando experimento capto una die trecentos
