And, finally, inasmuch as
it was desired that I should undertake this task by many who
were aware that I had cultivated a certain Method for the
resolution of difficulties of every kind in the Sciences?a
method which it is true is not novel, since there is nothing
more ancient than the truth, but of which they were aware that
I had made use successfully enough in other matters of
difficulty?I have thought that it was my duty also to make
trial of it in the present matter.
Now all that I could accomplish in the matter is
contained in this Treatise. Not that I have here drawn
together all the different reasons which might be brought
forward to serve as proofs of this subject: for that never
seemed to be necessary excepting when there was no one single
proof that was certain. But I have treated the first and
principal ones in such a manner that I can venture to bring
them forward as very evident and very certain demonstrations.
And more than that, I will say that these proofs are such that
I do not think that there is any way open to the human mind by
which it can ever succeed in discovering better.
