Cosmologia Sacra

And yet, my LORDS, I have not forgotten how much it behooved me to take care, in composing it, not to trouble you with what has been already done by others. Nor to assert anything herein without good proof. Nor only to write what is true, but also seasonable. And that, in other respects, it might abide your censure, whose abilities to make an exact judgment hereof are unquestionable. Which I have said, the better to prepare the reader duly to consider what I have written. If this be done, the public, with God’s blessing, will not lose the benefit hereby intended, nor your Graces the good hopes you are pleased to conceive of it.

Neh. Grew.
