THus though I have somewhat Meta∣phorically deciphered our true prin∣ciples, yet so plainly as that you may with diligence understand the meaning; and unless you know this, you will pro∣ceed blind-fold in your work, not know∣ing
the causes of things, so that every puff of Sophisters will toss you, like as a Feather is tossed in the Air with a blast of wind: for our Books are full of ob∣scurity, and Philosophers write horrid Metaphors and Riddles to them who are not upon a sure bottom, which like to a running Stream will carry them down head-long into despair and errors, which they can never escape till they so far un∣derstand our writings, as to discern the subject Matter of our secrets, which being known the rest is not so hard.
