cordial " Man bless, I aspire ardently to discover personally and verbally with one of yours<br />

my large wound, so that they be it is incredible how much they weigh me and how much it<br />

is difficult for me to support them. You will thus want, in accordance with your cordial offer<br />

and on my humble supplications, to let come until me one from you, carrying the sign of<br />

recognition indicated in the book entitled Frater not Frater, so that I am not misled by a<br />

Rosicrucian brotherhood forgery and that I can thus receive the consolation and the safety of<br />

my heart. Thus you will prove by me your love and your true zeal Christians not to give up<br />

the poor one and afflicted; moreover, you will thus satisfy your honest and benevolent offer<br />

and promise " As for my second concern, you will know it, ô very illuminated of God, by the<br />

following parabola: " Certain day, I undertook a long voyage towards a very distant place,<br />

voyage that much started before me, and also of my time. But, to achieve it, one needs a<br />

healthy man of body and spirit, who knows neither fear nor the doubt, but which either<br />

constant and can support many misfortune and difficulty; because it is not a question only of<br />

the distance of the place, but also of the many obstacles which one can meet during this<br />

voyage. It is for that that therefore must provide itself with the necessary one, so that it is not<br />

obliged to return either little after its departure, or halfway, where it can hardly expect a help.<br />

If somebody does not want to act thus, that it entirely abstains from taking this way. " But, I<br />

also undertaken this voyage, however without thinking of all the circumstances reported<br />

above, but which I recognized later by starting again on several occasions this voyage; I<br />

learned especially how much it is foolish to undertake anything without reflecting and without<br />

weighing the end. But I never wearied myself some and, on the contrary, my spirit blazed<br />

up more and more, and it seemed to to me that I walked rather on emeralds, sapphires,<br />

hyacinthes, diamonds and rubies that on bad ground. But by that much were tro still found<br />

that and there beautiful meadows, green meadows and flowers of varied colors; **timeout**<br />

but I think only with delight of place towards which tend the way reject, especially<br />

because that have be start for the honor of God all-powerful and for the many man " As I<br />

be unaware of at all that I must or give up entirely to contemplate this place of delight, or<br />

support with a great patience all the difficulty that I encounter on my road, I me decide to<br />

suffer rather, with the assistance of God, all the misfortune that to with give up, because it be<br />

impossible to moderate my spirit ignite and full of desire. Especially because this path<br />

appeared with the very beautiful and very pleasant beginning, a such mirror, and in major<br />

part covered of blue flowers called heliotropes or ground sequium; I think, however, that this<br />

place was to be full with blood, because the Greeks delivered very large combat to it to<br />

Troyens, as taught it to me the inhabitants from this country. " I noticed, moreover, that such<br />

meadows ondoyantes and these flowers varied appeared especially when the sun was<br />

masked by opaque clouds, so that it could not emit its clearness with a sufficient force, but,<br />

when the sun shone by its rays without obstacles, the ground became black like coal or<br />

pitch luisante, which plugged me almost. This voyage (the term or the very distant place not<br />

being yet known to me) was appropriate to me extremely well, because the winter<br />

persisted in its rigour, which gave me a great desire; and, which increased it further, it is that<br />

with the rising of the sun, in spite of the intense cold, the bottom, the ground or the ground<br />

were wet everywhere, as if it were to be thus naturally, or as if nature had enraciné all its<br />

moisture in this place, or if the salt marsh there took its origin " But various embarrassments<br />

retained me, as I brought it back higher; and, as I estimated that the voyage was<br />

impossible for me for lack of food, I was turned over from there, while observing carefully at<br />

which place I left the wet ground, that of which I had an unquestionable sign, because it was<br />

the place where Fortuné accepted its purse of Fortune; Fortunate was still painted there with<br />

pleasant Fortune, as if this image had been just completed the very same day; I engraved<br />

my better this place in my memory " But I must also expose the cause conceals from this<br />

voyage, because it is significant. I had learned that seven Wise or Philosophical was to live<br />

in seven capitals different from Europe, and that these Wise, more than all the others, was<br />

informed in all arts and any wisdom, and, in particular, in medicine. As any man has the<br />

desire natural to live a long time and in good health on this ground, I also conceived a great<br />

desire to visit all these places, to see these Wise, hoping to also obtain one of these Wise
