GALILEUS,
HIS
MECHANICKS:
OF
THE
BENEFIT
DERIVED
FROM
THE
SCIENCE
OF
MECHANICKS,
AND
FROM
ITS
INSTRUMENTS
.
I
judged
it
extreamly
neceſſary
,
before
our
deſcending
to
the
Speculation
of
Mecha-
nick
Inſtruments
,
to
conſider
how
I
might
,
as
it
were
,
ſet
before
your
eyes
in
a
gene-
ral
Diſcourſe
,

many
benefits
that
are
derived
from
the
ſaid
Inſtruments

my
ſelf
the
more
ob-
liged
to
do
,
for
that
(

I
am
not
miſtaken
)

generality
of
M
echaniti-
ans

in
going
about
to
apply
Machines
to
many
operations
of
their
own
nature
impoſſible
;
by
the
ſucceſſe
where-
of
they
have
been
diſappointed
,
and
others
likewiſe
fruſtrate
of
the
hope
which
they
had
conceived
upon
the
promiſe
of
thoſe
pre-
ſumptuous
undertakers
:
of
which
miſtakes
I
think
I
have
found
the
principall
cauſe
to
be
the
belief
and
conſtant
opinion
