Baco de Verulamio,
Instauratio Magna-Præfatio.

De noblis ipsis silemus: de re autem, quæ, petimus: ut homines eam non opinionem, sedopus esse cogitente; ac pr certo habeant, non sectæ nos alicusjus, aut placiti, sed utilitatis et amplitudinis humane fundamenta moliri. Deinde ut suis commodie æqui—in commune consulant— et ipsi in partem veninent. Præterea ut benesperent, neque instaurationem nostram ut quiddam infinitum et ultra mortale fingant, et animo concipiant: quum revera sut unfiniti erroris finis et terminus legitimus.
