For my part, I must say as Burgersdicius in praefat. ad secundam edit. Logic. [Greek or Hebrew] Vis enim humanae mentis ita circumscripta est, ut omnia non videat omni tempore; & quae ante a probavit, post accuratius examen iterum improbet, rejiciatque. Hoc adeo reipsa comperio saepius in studiis meditationibusque meis, ut ⟨image 6⟩quae olim mihi visa sunt certissima & quasi ex tripode pronunciata, ea melioribus rationibus motus deprehendam, admodum esse a veritate aliena. And sure Divinity hath as great depths as Philosophy; especially where it is interwoven with it▪ And to them that will certify me in my mistakes, I must say as Aristotle to his Physician when he prescribed him the means of his cure (referent Aeliano, lib. 9. de var. Hist.) Ne, inquit, me cures velut bubulcum, velut fossorem, fed prius causam edissere, sic enim facili persuasione me morigerum reddideris. Crudelissima enim est (inquit Ritschel) & infanissima tyrannis, cum quis alios, ut à se dictis assurgant, cogere vult, nulla dictorum evidentia allata.
