So as this only point among the rest remaineth sure and cert

Summary

This quote suggests that in a world filled with uncertainties, the only thing we can be truly certain of is the existence of uncertainty itself. It implies that no matter how much knowledge or convictions we possess, they are ultimately subject to doubt and unpredictability. It encourages a humble and open-minded approach, reminding us to be cautious and adaptable in our beliefs and perspectives, as the only constant in life is the presence of unknown variables.
