Latin

X. Ut autem sensim ad institutum nostrum viam nobis complanemus, nec reliqui quicquam faciamus ad summam evidentiam, qualis quidem exigi potest in rebus Physicis & Metaphysicis, principia quaedam constituenda sunt, quibus veluti fundamentis reliqua superstruentur, quibusque in tota discursus serie saepe utendum erit.
