With a Praeface annexed thereto, and a short Declaration of their Physicall Work. Written down by Johann Valentin Andreae. Published by Eugenius Philalethes (Thomas Vaughan). From ‘The Publisher to the Reader’: “There is nothing more absurd, then to be of the same mind with the Generality of Men, for they have entertain’d many gross Errors, which Time and Experience have confuted. It is indeed our Sluggishness and Incredulity that hinder all Discoveries, for men contribute nothing towards tem but their Contempt, or, which is worst, their Malice. I have known all this my self, and therefore I tell it thee: but what use thou wilt make of it, I know not. To make thee wat Man should be, is not in my power, but it is much in thy own, if thou know’st thy Duty to thy self.”
