Contents:

“Here I have shown that all human affairs turn unto giddiness and how all those who are caught at the periphery of affairs, necessarily are at the same time brought down, tossed mightily and torn off, against which there is in the One God, the eternal centre of things, eternal peace and certainty against destruction” – so Comenius summarised the content and sense of this treatise, which he counts among his conciliatory works, in a letter to Petrus Montanus on December 10^th, 1661.
