Source: Egidius de Vadis, Dialogus inter naturam et filium philosophiae, ed. Bernard Gilles Penot, Frankfurt am Main: Johannes Saur for Johann Rex, 1595, sig. F1v = pag. 66 [BP.Penot.1595-01]
Summary: Penot emphasizes that the rules he has compiled from various authors are meant to succinctly convey the entirety of the art to those who are genuinely inclined and apt for its study. He advises that those who do not feel a calling towards these teachings should abstain, invoking the adage "Let the cobbler not go beyond his last" to suggest that individuals should stick to their areas of expertise. Bernard warns of divine retribution for those who venture into this sacred knowledge without being duly called, asserting that this celestial wisdom is not meant for the obstinate, the corrupt, or the wicked. Instead, it is destined for the holy or those it will make holy, urging the admonished to pursue righteousness and the corrupt to reform, as the sacred teachings are reserved for the sacred, not to be profaned by the unworthy.
