CHAP. IX. Of the Art of Lullius. RAymund Lullie in these latter times hath Inven∣ted a Prodigious Art, not unlike Logick; by means whereof (like another Gorgias Leontinus, who was the first that in a Publick Assembly durst put the Question what they would have him to Discourse of) to enable any person to discourse extempore up∣on any Subject. But to insist farther upon this, it will not be needful now, seeing we have Commented suffi∣ciently upon this Art already; and the thing it self is so obvious, that it will not be necessary to use ma∣ny words about it. This I am to admonish ye of in general, That this Art is of no other use, than only Page 48 to shew the Pomp and Magnificence of Wit and Learning, and is no way prevalent for the attaining of sound Learning; having in it far more of con∣fidence than efficacy.
