ilR! Great men decline,migK-
ty men may fall, but an no-
neft Philoiopha keeps his
S»tion for, ever. T o your fclf
therefore I crave leave to pre-
font, what I know you are a*
blc to protcdtjnot with fwordjbut by reafon,*
& not that only,but what by your ace^cance
you areableto give a luAre to. I fee it is not
in vain that you have compaffed ^ and
L and, for .thierid>y you have m adea Profe-
Iycc, not o f another, but of your felf,.by be­
in g converted from vulgar, and irrational
incredulities to the rational embracing
o f the fublime, Hcrmeticall, and The*
omagicall tnicKs. You are sl^U^ in
the one as if Hermes b ad . been your
T utori have innght in the other,as if
( b ) your
your Maftcr.Many «anfcwnncPhiloíbphers,
wBch'W c only read, you have converied
w ith : liiany Counuics,rarities,and anciqui-
tics, which we have only heard of, and ad­
mire,you havci«n> N ay you have n o t only
heard o^ but ícen,not in M aps, but in l^pme
it (elf the manners of . There you have
feen much Ceremony, and little R eligion;
and in the you
have feen amongft fome,muchR.5igion,and
little Ceremonyj and am ongft others, I
mean the Natives thereof, neither Cere­
mony, nor R eligion, but what nature di-
¿tates to them. In this there is no imall vari­
ety, and your obfervadon not little. In your
paíláge thither by Sea^ you have feen the
Wonders o f God in the Deepj and by L and,
you have feen thcaftonifhing works o f God
in the unaccefsiblc Mountains.You have left
no ftone unturned, th at the turning thereof
m ight conduce to the difeovery o f w hat
was Occult,and worthy to b e know n. It is
part o f ray ambition to let the w orld know
(hat I honor fuchas your.felf, Sc. my learned
friend, 6c your experienced fcllow*travcllcr,
D o ito r Charletj who have, like trae Philoib-
. phers

ph CIS negle^ed your worldly advanc^es ю
become mafteisof chac which hath now
rcndrcdyou both truly honorable. If 1 had
as many languages as your fclves, the rhe-
toricall and pathcticall expreisions thereof
would fail to irgniBe my eibmation of,and
affeitions towards you both. N ow 5*г! as
in reference to this my tranflation, if your*
judgement fliall findc й deficiency therein,
let your candor make a fupjply thereof. Let
thisTreatiieof Occult Phiiofophy coming
as a firanger amongil the Engliln, be patro­
nized by you , remembring that you your
felf was once a danger in the Country of its
Nativity. This fixanger I have drefled in
ai\ Englifli garb; but if it be not according
to the bihion, and therefore ungrateful to
any,let уоцг approbation make it the mode;
you knowfbrangers moil commonly induce
a faihion,erpecialIy if any once begin to ap­
prove of their hant. Your approbation*is
that which it will Hand in need of, and
which will render rac,
