History Of The Rose-Croix Sedir - Ordo Svmmvm Bonvm

descended the degrees, after some hesitations, and was plunged soon from there in major
darkness, but whose blackness seemed to be cleared up of a remote gleam. With the
depth of approximately hundred feet, it was in a square cell from which left a long corridor;
after having followed it, it descended another staircase from two hundred and twenty-two
marc murmur, like that of a remote gallop; the light was now visible with little distance. The
fear gained little by little our hero and it was not any more but with great hesitations than it
continued his descent. With a turning of the staircase it saw a large square room suddenly, of
rather low ceiling; in each corner, a black stone pink was carved, and a light gilded like that of
the raising sun, lit into full the person with the amazed browser, But its astonishment
changed into terror when it saw a man sitting in a stone pulpit, reading a large book posed
on a kind of furnace bridge rectangular, lit by a large ancient iron lamp. A cry of surprise that
could not retain our peasant made be turned over towards him the sitted man; this one rose,
and, with an expression of anger, made the gesture prohibit the input of the room to him;
but, as the new one come did not take account of this injunction, it broke, of a blow of an iron
rod which it held with the hand, the old lamp which scattered in thousand pieces, leaving the
place in a major darkness. Deaf persons bearings seemed to pass in distances corridors.
The peasant went up the staircases precipitately, and, re-entered in his village, told his
underground adventure; and the hill where it had put at the day the input of the underground
was called, in all Staffordshire, " the tomb of Rosicrucius ". (1) Vacuum supra, p. 28. See

Chapter Vii Demonstrations Rosicruciennes Of XVIIIe Century At Our Days
The demonstration rosicrucian of 1614 was inspired by the pure spirit of the Gospel; its
goal was the offer of the light, the exhortation with charity, humility, the prayer, the true
imitation of Jesus-Christ; she affirmed that the general reform of the world will come, not of

secrecy its name, its residence and its pseudonym. The Command, which counted 21
members, is composed of 23 brothers at least, of 63 at the maximum. The brothers are
