A Continuation of M. JOHN-AMOS-COMENIVS School-Endeavours OR A Summary Delineation of Dr. CYPRIAN KINNER Silesian His Thoughts concerning Education OR The Way and Method of Teaching Exposed to the ingenuous and free Censure of all Piously-learned men The which shal shortly be seconded with an Elucidarium or Commentary to open the Sense of whatsoever is herein contained chiefly of what is paradoxall and obscure if any such shall appear to be Together with an Advice how these Thoughts may be succesfully put in Practice Translated out of the Original Latine transmitted to Sam. Hartlib and by him published and in the name of many very Godly and Learned Men recommended to the serious Consideration and liberall Assistance of such as are willing to favour the Reformation of all Christian Churches and Common-wealths but more especially the Good and Happines of these United Kingdoms Published by Authority Printed for R L. in Monks-well street A Brief Information concerning Doctor Kinner and his Vndertakings WHen we look upon the ways of most men now adays we see that although many have a speciall esteem of Learning and cry it up highly in those who have attain'd thereunto yet few there are that have any great Zeal to propagate it unto others and of those few whose affections may lye somewhat that way in a whole Age hardly shall wee find one or two who are willing to neglect themselves to doe service unto others or casting themselves upon Divine Providence to postpose wholy their private and single Interests unto the Publike Good of many therefore when it pleaseth God to raise up and put forth such Publike Spirits as sometimes he doth offer for a blessing to the Society of Mankinde all others that have any true love to Vertue and esteem of Learning or with Uprightness favour Publike Enterprizes should appear on their behalf to give them that encouragement which may bring the Works whereunto God hath fitted them unto some perfection For hereunto God doth call us by the offer of such opportunities namely that in the Communion of Saints we should appeare for the advancement of his Kingdome that the things which neither we nor any one can do by himself alone all of us according to our ability should joyntly promote as members of each other to shew that we have a love to the Body of Christ and would gladly be helpers unto the Truth and the manifestation of the Glory of our God therein Such an opportunity is now afforded unto us in the Person of one Doctor Cyprian Kinner a Man of singularly eminent gracious and naturall Parts and of a very Publike Spirit who by birth being of very honest parents and well educated in Silesia hath had from his youth a speciall inclination to advance that part of Learning which is the foundation of all the rest and without which all the other parts will be obstructed and remain imperfect both in Church and Common-wealth that is the right Education of Children to bring their Scholasticall Studies unto some regular course and perfection A Work which every where to the great prejudice of Christianity and the whole state of Humane Felicity is much neglected which for this very cause ought so much the more to be minded by generous and noble Spirits who seek not themselves but the Glory of God in all their wayes And although at first the aforesaid Doctor Kinner did meet with the ordinary difficulties which attend Publike Undertakings namely little encouragement from any and no support for livelihood in following these Studies Yet he left not off his Designe to prosecute the same but that he might have a subsistence with more comfort then by the way of Schooling could be obtained he did betake himself unto the Studies of Law and Physick which ordinarily in those Parts yield a plentifull livelihood unto those that follow them And having soon by the eminencie and vigour of his naturall abilities made himself perfect therein he took the Degree of Doctor in both those Faculties and in processe of time through Gods blessing upon him in those ways hee was in great esteem amongst all that knew him and especially honoured by the Duke of Brieg and Lignits who made him one of his Privy Counsellors and by his favour and his own merits having married a Lady of great wealth he did reassume his Designe of advancing the Reformation of Schools and the Education of Children and having an Extraordinary Zeal for that publike Work he did set apart of his Ladies estate with her consent the sum of 12000 Rixdollers which doth amount to more then 2000 and 600 li. sterling which was dedicated to entertaine a Correspondency with Learned men on that subject to ripen and pub●ish his Thoughts to the World concerning the same but hee had not been long upon that course when it pleased God to disappoint those purposes by the comming in of the Imperiall Army into Silesia by whose cruelty he being dispoiled of his whole estate was driv●n out of his Countrey into exile with his Lady and Family where he hath wrestled many yeers with the difficulties incident to that state hardly maintaining himself sometimes by being employ'd in Civill Affaires sometimes by applying himself unto the practice of Physick Amongst other places he did passe sometime of his Exile in Transylvania and Hungaria where his acquaintance with Master Alstedius and Master Bisterfeld and other Learned men of chief note and his constant Zeal to promote the Reformation of Schooling did cause many upon the report of their esteeme of his thoughts endevours on that subject to take speciall notice of him and amongst others M. Comenius who was by the liberality of a private Gentleman maintain'd and set apart to further the same Designe having gotten information of him and what his inclinations and abilities were to be helpfull in the work which he had in hand did invite him to come unto him in Prussia that they might joyne their thoughts and endevours together for the Advancement of their Common Aimes which Doctor Kinner did readily condescend unto and after a yeare or two when by their mutuall communications and joint labours they had ripened severall matters which will shortly come to light Master Comenius was called away by the Moravian-Bohemian Church at Lesno where now he is and Doctor Kinner being taken off from his private way of subsistence and engaged upon the Object of his publike thoughts is left alone in Prussia at Dantzick to depend upon Providence Whiles Mr. Comenius was with him he had a share in that which was allowed unto him for his maintenance but he now being gone Doctor Kinner is left in a great straight On the one side his zealous affection and love to so necessary a Work wherein he hath made so great progresses draws him to apply himself wholly unto it on the other side his want of necessary means to subsist and to be able to publish that which he already hath done doth draw him
