Comenius' introduction to ''The Great Didactic'' reads:
 +
 +
:''Let the main object of this, our Didactic, be as follows:  To seek and to find a method of instruction, by which teachers may teach less, but learners may learn more; by which schools may be the scene of less noise, aversion, and useless labour, but of more leisure, enjoyment, and solid progress; and through which the Christian community may have less darkness, perplexity, and dissension, but on the other hand more light, orderliness, peace, and rest.''

:God be merciful unto us and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us;
 +
:That they way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.—Psalm lxvii. 1, 2.
