Scientiam Generalem intelligo, quae
caeterarum omnium principia continet, modumque
principiis ita utendi, ut quisque mediocri
licet ingenio praeditus ubi ad specialia quaecunque
descenderit, facili meditatione et brevi
experientia, difficillima etiam intelligere,
et pulcherrimas veritates, utilissimasque
praxes, quantum ex datis homini possibile est,
invenire possit. Tractare ergo debet
tum de ratione eu modo bene cogitandi
hoc est distencte cognescendi inveniendi, judicandi
affectus regendi, retinendi ac reminiscendi
tum vero de totius Encyclopaediae Elementis
et summi Boni investigatione, cuius causa
omnis meditatio suscipitur, est enim nihil
aliud sapientia, quam scientia felicitatis

ratione inciderim in artis tam mirabilis funda
mentum. Dicendum erit quoque de statu
praesenti ejuditionis
Ahile quamcotuiatur ad Arculus, Inde veniendum
ad Elementa veritatis aeternae seu Analysin
humanorum judiciorum. Ut appareat discrimen
meerum principiorum a Cartesianis operae
pretium erit praemittere excerpta ex 
objectionibus et virorum doctorum ad Cartesii
Meditationes, meisque Cartesiique responsionibus, quibus
subjiciam meas replicationes, et quomodo a
