Germany. It obtained in Oxford the rank of doctor of medicine. It had an encyclopaedic<br />

science; it was famous in all Europe at the same time like philosopher, doctor, anatomist,<br />

physicist, chemist, astrologer, mathematician and mechanic. All in showing in favour of the<br />

doctrines of the Cabal, of which it had probed the mysteries, it liked the exact sciences and<br />

it made proof, in all the fields where was exerted its vast activity, of a rare spirit of<br />

observation. II was the inventor of the barometer and built machines which made the<br />

admiration of its contemporaries. Its philosophy is primarily chocolate éclair. God is the<br />

principle, the end, the sum of all that exists. <strong>The</strong> entire universe came out of him, it is made<br />

of its substance and will turn over to him. God, passing eternally by the world prototype<br />

where it appears with itself by the macrocosm (nature) and by the microcosm (the man)<br />

offers, according to the expression of Trismégiste, the image of " a sphere whose center is<br />

everywhere and the circumference nowhere ". God revealed paramount Wisdom with the<br />

first man and this one was transmitted then, by the patriarchs, the prophets, the wise ones<br />

and, lastly, by the Brothers of the Rosicrucian brotherhood. Christ revealed with her<br />

apostles, particularly with Jean saint and saint Paul, the mysteries of supreme science. <strong>The</strong><br />

philosopher Pierre, it is Fire, the Life, the Light resulting from Christ. Alchemy consists in<br />

bringing back the follower to the state of perfection whose Adam was deposed. (2) the<br />

philosopher and Gassendi physicist claimed to refute Fludd in his Exercitatio in Fluddanam<br />

Philosophiam, Paris, 1630. <strong>The</strong> P. Marin Mersenne, the friend of Descartes, had tried it in its<br />

Quaestiones celeberrimae in Genesim, Paris, 1623. <strong>The</strong> Képler astronomer also wrote to<br />

fight his theories. However the experimental method employed by Fludd recalls, by its<br />

mathematical rigour, the principles of the natural philosophy of Newton. Fludd wrote several<br />

vehement works for the defense of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, in particular the apologetic<br />

Treaty (1617) (35) and, under the name of Joachim Frizzio, the Bien sovereign (1628).<br />

(19) As Maïer Fludd declares that it is not Rosicrucian brotherhood. *** <strong>The</strong>ophilus<br />

Schweighardt, of Constancy, is one of the large apostles of the Rosicrucian brotherhood. Its<br />

Mirror of Wisdom rosicrucian (27) is of capital importance. II expresses there as well as<br />

possible the true character of the company rosicrucian: " See here represented all the art of<br />

the world, all its science and all its know-how: however seeks initially the kingdom of God ". "<br />

Ora and will labora ". " If you do not include/understand my sincere lessons, you will not<br />

include/understand any book ". " Much of people, pertaining to all the classes of the<br />

company, enquièrent themselves with authority of this Fraternity. It is not passed from days<br />

to Frankfurt, in Leipzig, in other places, but especially in Prague, where ten, twelve and<br />

even twenty people do not meet to discuss these objects, without counting the authorized<br />

people who work together with perseverance. <strong>The</strong>y were betrayed however by false<br />

friends; this is why the author decided to put at the great day the spirit and the payments of<br />

this College. It is necessary that the public knows that, although the assembly of the<br />

Brothers are not held yet nowhere, a noble-hearted man, piles and honest, can easily and<br />

without much sorrow to be able to speak to them ". In the same work one reads: " Reenters<br />

in yourself, pushes back the things of this world, considers the two old written treaties<br />

of Thomas a. Kempis a hundred and fifty years ago, observes their directions. If you do<br />

that, you will be already with Rosicrucian brotherhood half... and a Brother will present<br />

himself soon in person ". Under the pseudonym of Florentinus de Valentia, it answered an<br />

attack of F G Menapius of June 3 1617 and gave, in his <strong>Rose</strong> flowering (36) of significant<br />

details on the spirit which animates the Brothers. <strong>The</strong>y make, says it, the opposite of the<br />

scientists who dispute on logic and not on the thing. " Menapius says that the Rosicrucian<br />

brotherhood are of the wizards, the black magicians, the incarnés devils. That is false,<br />

because they help tous.les.jours without interruption the world, but anonymously " <strong>The</strong>y<br />

have, in mechanics, the mirrors of Archimedes. **time-out** " <strong>Of</strong> structure, the seven<br />

wonder, the automat of Archytas, of Bacon, of Albert, the mirror, the fire perpetual, the<br />

perpetual motion perpétuel. " In arithmetic, the rythmomachie, the use and the composition<br />

of wheel of Pythagore, its method to give a number with any thing to God " In music, that of<br />
