A34114	A reformation of schooles designed in two excellent treatises, the first whereof summarily sheweth, the great necessity of a generall reformation of common learning : what grounds of hope there are for such a reformation : how it may be brought to passe : the second answers certain objections ordinarily made against such undertakings, and describes the severall parts and titles of workes which are shortly to follow / written ... in Latine by ... John Amos Comenius ... ; and now ... translated into English ... by Samuel Hartlib ...; Pansophiae prodromus.

because_o he_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v do_v otherwise_o he_o can_v because_o he_o can_v behold_v nothing_o but_o himself_o in_o his_o infinite_a eternity_n whence_o then_o shall_v he_o borrow_v

1._o 20._o be_v it_o that_o he_o may_v manifest_v the_o depth_n of_o his_o wisdom_n by_o that_o look_v off_o from_o himself_o neither_o for_o this_o will_v prove_v a_o diminution_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o his_o glory_n if_o he_o can_v find_v out_o any_o perfection_n which_o be_v not_o in_o himself_o which_o be_v impossible_a therefore_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o both_o the_o

the_o end_n of_o his_o work_n but_o himself_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o god_n take_v from_o himself_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o work_n as_o well_o at_o the_o end_n of_o they_o and_o power_n

of_o themselves_o the_o want_n of_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o mystery_n be_v the_o reason_n that_o philosopher_n and_o divine_n do_v pick_v out_o of_o nature_n and_o scripture_n one_o this_o
