AB UNO <strong>The</strong>se preliminaries posed, we will divide into three groups the documents which<br />

reached us: 1 ° spiritual or essential characters of the rosicrucianism. 2° the initiatory process<br />

in what it has of asset by the merit (pythagorism) and in what it of gave by the grace<br />

(Christianity). 3° particular characters of the Brother of the Rosicrucian brotherhood. <strong>The</strong><br />

Rosicrucian brotherhood live in a castle surrounded by clouds in front of which is, on a rock,<br />

house and builds a hut leaned with its palate. II fact of coming his/her children under his roof,<br />

and the thickets preserve it heat. That which sticks to the word of God done that, finds<br />
