Saturday, a meridie hora (fere) prima. Praga:. I came to the foresaid (called Doctor) Curtz, about 1 of the clock after noon: who had all the day been ready to have heard me, if! would so have had it: but I sent him word in the morning by Emericus, that, after noon (as now at this hour) I would come to him. Being come, he entertained me courteously: and two chairs being at the table's end, he gave me the pre-eminence (by a friendly kind of earnestness). Then he told me that, long since, in Germany, he had heard of my fame, and had seen of my writings: and that he was very glad of the opportunity now of my coming to this city: and that otherways he was desirous of my acquaintance, but chiefly seeing the Emperor his Majesty 'Ore tenus' (for that was his phrase, 'by word of his own mouth') had willed him to hear what I had to say to his Majesty. I began and declared my long course of study now for 40 years, always by degrees going forward, and desirous of the best and pure truths in all manner of studies wherein I had passed, and that I had passed as many as /",. 148 /",.
