This paper considers the metaphysical writings of the 17th-century Czech thinker Johannes Amos Comenius

 presents a tentative translation up to the end of Prima philosophia. Whilst Comenius has been exclusively seen as an educational reformer
 his educational idea was one of the products through his philosophical inquiries. This shows that the retroactive consideration to his philosophy is essential to understand his ideas of education as a whole. Prima philosophia
 which was drafted in the early 1630s and was not known for three centuries
 is short
 but significant to grasp the process of his metaphysical thinking toward the formation of Pansophia in his later years.
