This Epitome of the Cartejlan Philofophy , digefted by the 
Author for the ufe and advantage of thofe^ that have inclinati- 
tions to initiate themfelves in the dodrine of that Faipous Phi- 
lofopherj begins this his Book by delivering the main Rules,, 
by him efteem*d neceflary to the acquifition of Truth. Thence 
he proceeds to thofefimple Notionsjof which our Cogkations 
are compounded^ and concludes this part with a Abort dodrinc 
oiih^Syllogifm. 
Having fuccinftly difpatcht this , he pafleth on to treat of 
Fhyfologj^^ and exploding the Materia prima ^ the Suhjiantial 
forms^ the Real Accidents ( as thefe are vulgarly taught ) he 
maketh it his bofinels to prove, That there are Bodies extended 
in Lengthj Breadth and Depths to which belong Figure^ Mo- 
fion^SQite^d>cc. 00 otherwife than as fome diftinft Modeu Af- 
ter this, he confiders the Meamns^ Earthy WaUr^ Air and Fircy 
and of what parts they are cqnftituted. Nextj he explains the 
Fahrick of Man y and giveth an account^how he comes to move 
and have perception* And he cloleth all with a Demonftrati- 
on (ashefbippofeth it to be) oftheExifleiice ofa God. 
But weOiall fay no more of this^ fince we find our felves 
obliged to difcourfe fomewhat more largely of an ample Trea- 
^ife of this fame Argument ^ lately oome to our hands from 
Maris m^.
