Post illud tempus quo excidit nob. inchoatum illud de Methodo Opusculum scis me bis sedem ac [locum? ms edge] mutasse [Argentoratum?] primo, deinde in Angliam ibi adeo frequentes incidunt mihj a studiis [word obscured:....tiones?] vt quantum promoueam profecto pæntieat.
                         Idem
Tandem animum ad proficiendum vel potius de nouo inchoandam susceptam olim de dialectica scriptionem adjecj, rem sanè difficilem ac fastidii plenum: sed tamen nifallor vehementer necessarium. Vider[abbrev.] n. qua adhuc extat vtilitates nequaquam præstare tantas, quantas et pollicetur, et præstare videtur posse; si tandem aliquando, veram eius aspicere effigiem suum illud Examplar quod ipsa in natura est impressum ad viuum referentem licuerit. Quanquam a [muniare?] prolixa futura est scriptio, multo tamen opus habet tempore: tum [propter? MS edge] rej difficultatem: tum et[abbrev.] propter eas quas mihj ipsj indixi leges.

In actibus q. hucusque illus tradiderunt duo tantum spectasse videntur primò vt illarum præcepta distinctè et Methodice nob. exhiberent.
     Deinde vt vsum Præceptor Exemplis et Canonibus plenius illustrarent. Præcepta continent rej Veritatem in ipsa Natura, et in vsu fructus est, qui ex illa [redundat?] ad homines. Sed [TErtium?] qd [esse?] [videtur?] inter hæc duo Medium, et quidem hujusmodi mihj [esse?] videtur, ut sine eius cognitatione nullus perfecti Artis cujusquam finem aut ipse queat asseq. aut aliis assequendum præscribere, hoc est quod DE Ipso Modo applicandj applicandj ad vsum præcepta sciri debet, à perfecto [Art.? MS edge] Magistro. Hæc n. [tria?] in re [illeg.] mihj distincta sunt.
          Res ipsa
          Finis rej
               Et
          Modus quo res ad finem
[right column]
pertingit. Q. si priora duo sciuero, et Tertium ignorem, disserere [quid..?] rectè forsan, sed [errarum?] quoque [illeg.] praxj turpissimè potero, Modus n. præcepta applicandj formam procedendj, et Actionis momenta complectitus. Qua sanè ab ipso [finè?] et rej Natura sunt diversissima. Exemplo res erit clara.
     Scimus [illeg.] Logicæ præcepta duobus continerj. [Inuentio..?] et [Iudicio?] dicimus hor. vsum in Genesi et Analysi consistere
Iam a. cum mihi quid sit Inuentio [illeg.] judicium exactè [definieris?] omnibusque sigillatim partibus explicaueris, et præterea quoque Genesin et Analysin descripseris, ita et qd. sunt [illeg.] tn neque Analyzare discursum neque [Greek word?] seu Geneticè specularj de re qualibet oblata adhuc didecj. Item qd. hæc [oram?] sint scire possum et tn [praxos?]

esse ignarus. Nam (vt loquamur de causa) qd sit causa docemur in Logica, et Genesis requirit, vt [causam?] rej, [puta?] Arboris [ac?] qua mihj erit [meditandum?] inueniam et suo loco disponam. Sed quomodo [causam?] ignotam inuestigare, vbi illam quærere, [inde?] illam eruere et qua [loe? abbrev.] in ejus modi Meditatione progredj debeam, neque Inuentio prout hactenus tradita [est?] Iudicium neque Genesis neque Analysis docebunt, [qui..de.?] modo applicandj Theoriam ad Praxin non cogitarunt illj, qui ista descripserunt.
