Tum illustri Familia, Tum magnis
Virtutibus Nobili.
DDMI, Scientiam nullos habituram inimicos, praeter ienorantes.
jam olim sit scitissimum: Nemo, credo aut iniqué aut imprudenter e
me factum existimabit, quod Scientissimum Virum opusculo huic no-
stro patronum advocaverim. Dui praeter tuam in Theoloricis tum
cognitionem tum praxin; at que in Lincuis, tum sacris, antiquisque, tum mo-
dernis etiam peritiam; in Politicis item, e negotuis publicis,  rerum e per-
sonarum, domi perecreque, intimam notitiam;
Cui mores trominum multorum noris et urbes:
In Physieis etiam, C verae Philosophiae denatione, ita perpetuis e subtilissimis
Experimentis, Medicis, Chymicis, Anatomicis, aliisque omne genus, Natu-
ram quasi ferro e iene prosequeris, (nedum per omnes subtiliorum in quacun-
que arte Opificum officinas,) in secretos abditissimosque sequeris recessus, e
quasi in viscera penetras; ut mirum ii tibi tandem se in praedam dedat-
Durque Naturam, tanquam equuleo imposieam, severa saltem, ne crudeli di-
cam, quaestione, torquendo vexas es recorguendo, quo verum tandem fassa
secreta pandat omnia: idem, in Mathes, Equationes Analyticas, (L quu
leum Mathematicum) versas; quo vix subtilius aliud instrumentum abdita
perquirendi, aut extricandi involuta.

Duanquam enim tam perspicacis incenii Virum atque subacti judicir re-
formidare debere videar, qui de nostris sententiam feras; ut qui vel leviora
apooapata aut cinvoias. vel duedodias etiam; si qua deviatum est, potis es
dienoscere; Futamen, qui caetera noris, etiam noris quam infestino scripto mul
ca sint condonanda, quamque omnino arduum si, omnem uneuis oritiei scalpeu
ram devitare.
Invenies autem, ex subtilissimis praesentis seculi inventis, sinon omniam prae-
cipua saltem, vel ex professo tradita, vel obiter insinvata: Faque, utut non
nova omnia, aut nulli hactenus reperta, at novis saltem demonstrationibus or-
nata es methodis nostris accommoduma. Et quidem ab aliis nonnulla per
loneiores ambases es particulatim invenilu mirabere for san tam facile ex prin-
cipiis nostris, es universaliter traditis, simplivius e sponte fuere.
Tu vero, ut soles, e doctis favere pereas, e studie promovere: nec aver
seris interim,
rIR NOBILISSIMI
Tui observancistimum
e amaniistimum.
