Geometrical appointed to their vse-Take in good worth these labors Louing reader and loke shortly for the pleasant frutes Mathematical euē such as haue ben promysed by my frendes and partly by me Neither shall my desire to profit here stay but entendeth farther to procede yf these seme accepted As the good wil of Printers not had hath kept the foresayd from you so I trust the willing minde and excellēcie of Thomas Gemini shal bring them shortly vnto you Certes my hope is while life remaineth not to be vnfruteful to this commune wealth with study and practise Agaynst the reprouers of Astronomie and sciences Mathematicall I Am diuersly occasioned louyng Reader somwhat to wryte in the commendatiō of the Mathematicals whiche neded not but onely to open the folish rasshenes and rasshe foolishenes of suche which of late haue in writing dispraised these goodly artes It is an olde sayd sawe and trew Scientia non habet inimicum nisi ignorantē But to auoyde tediousnes and chiefly for the more satisfieng I refer all of that sort which haue tasted any lerning the rest not regarded to the first part of famous Guido Bonatus de vtilitate Astronomiae in communi where he writeth contra illos qui dicunt quod Scientia stellarum non potest sciri ab aliquo contra illos qui dixerunt quod scientia stellarum non est vtilis sed potius damnosa c. contra illos qui contradicunt iudiciis Astronomiae qui reprehendunt eam nescientes dignitatem eius eo quod nō est lucratiua Also for breuitie I appoint all nyce diuines or as Melancthō termeth them Epicurei Theologi to his hye cōmendatiōs
