Summary "It is an old opinion, and the concurring and unanimous judgment almost all philosophers, whereby they uphold, that every Science addeth so much of a sublime Nature to Man himself, according to the Capacity and worth of every person, as many times enables then to Translate themselves beyond the Limits of humanity, even to the Celestial Seats of the Blessed. From hence have proceeded those various and innumerable Encomiums of the Sciences, whereby every one hath endeavour'd, in accurate, as well as long. I, persuaded by reasons of another nature, do verily believe, that there is nothing more pernicious, nothing more destructive to the well-being of Men, or to the Salvation of our Souls, than the Arts and Sciences themselves"--Chapter.
