cordial " Man bless, I aspire ardently to discover personally and verbally with one of yours my large wound, so that they be it is incredible how much they weigh me and how much it is difficult for me to support them. You will thus want, in accordance with your cordial offer and on my humble supplications, to let come until me one from you, carrying the sign of recognition indicated in the book entitled Frater not Frater, so that I am not misled by a Rosicrucian brotherhood forgery and that I can thus receive the consolation and the safety of my heart. Thus you will prove by me your love and your true zeal Christians not to give up the poor one and afflicted; moreover, you will thus satisfy your honest and benevolent offer and promise " As for my second concern, you will know it, ô very illuminated of God, by the following parabola: " Certain day, I undertook a long voyage towards a very distant place, voyage that much started before me, and also of my time. But, to achieve it, one needs a healthy man of body and spirit, who knows neither fear nor the doubt, but which either constant and can support many misfortune and difficulty; because it is not a question only of the distance of the place, but also of the many obstacles which one can meet during this voyage. It is for that that therefore must provide itself with the necessary one, so that it is not obliged to return either little after its departure, or halfway, where it can hardly expect a help. If somebody does not want to act thus, that it entirely abstains from taking this way. " But, I also undertaken this voyage, however without thinking of all the circumstances reported above, but which I recognized later by starting again on several occasions this voyage; I learned especially how much it is foolish to undertake anything without reflecting and without weighing the end. But I never wearied myself some and, on the contrary, my spirit blazed up more and more, and it seemed to to me that I walked rather on emeralds, sapphires, hyacinthes, diamonds and rubies that on bad ground. But by that much were tro still found that and there beautiful meadows, green meadows and flowers of varied colors; **timeout** but I think only with delight of place towards which tend the way reject, especially because that have be start for the honor of God all-powerful and for the many man " As I be unaware of at all that I must or give up entirely to contemplate this place of delight, or support with a great patience all the difficulty that I encounter on my road, I me decide to suffer rather, with the assistance of God, all the misfortune that to with give up, because it be impossible to moderate my spirit ignite and full of desire. Especially because this path appeared with the very beautiful and very pleasant beginning, a such mirror, and in major part covered of blue flowers called heliotropes or ground sequium; I think, however, that this place was to be full with blood, because the Greeks delivered very large combat to it to Troyens, as taught it to me the inhabitants from this country. " I noticed, moreover, that such meadows ondoyantes and these flowers varied appeared especially when the sun was masked by opaque clouds, so that it could not emit its clearness with a sufficient force, but, when the sun shone by its rays without obstacles, the ground became black like coal or pitch luisante, which plugged me almost. This voyage (the term or the very distant place not being yet known to me) was appropriate to me extremely well, because the winter persisted in its rigour, which gave me a great desire; and, which increased it further, it is that with the rising of the sun, in spite of the intense cold, the bottom, the ground or the ground were wet everywhere, as if it were to be thus naturally, or as if nature had enraciné all its moisture in this place, or if the salt marsh there took its origin " But various embarrassments retained me, as I brought it back higher; and, as I estimated that the voyage was impossible for me for lack of food, I was turned over from there, while observing carefully at which place I left the wet ground, that of which I had an unquestionable sign, because it was the place where Fortuné accepted its purse of Fortune; Fortunate was still painted there with pleasant Fortune, as if this image had been just completed the very same day; I engraved my better this place in my memory " But I must also expose the cause conceals from this voyage, because it is significant. I had learned that seven Wise or Philosophical was to live in seven capitals different from Europe, and that these Wise, more than all the others, was informed in all arts and any wisdom, and, in particular, in medicine. As any man has the desire natural to live a long time and in good health on this ground, I also conceived a great desire to visit all these places, to see these Wise, hoping to also obtain one of these Wise

perfect medicine for the conservation of my health until the term predestined by God. I thus deliberated in myself at which city I should return to me initially, since it depended on my good fortune if somebody among these Wise would like or even could satisfy me. Therefore I learned on several occasions, with my detriment, which the remarks are useless if the prosperity and the blessing of God are missing; in the same way, I supposed easily that, though these seven Wise had been praised like wisest in all arts of the whole world, the intelligence was not to be similar for all, but different for each one, because God constantly endows a man of more than intelligence, virtues and of wisdom that another, so that one exceeds much the other in quality and virtues; I thus thought that it was to be the same for it for these Wise. I thus requested with heat God the Almighty to act on the true way to the true man who exceeded the others by his wisdom, so that it favoured my will and granted to me my request. " Thus I have during the night a dream or a vision which says to me aloud: Direct T to undertake the voyage; and, as it was undoubtedly a good angel which had indicated the direction in the dream of it to me, I started, with the grace of God " But, as soon as I desired to advance, I live in front of me high and pointed rocks, a hard and hard path, deep cracks, pits of smoke where water produced by its fall such a noise that I was frightened by it; and I stopped abruptly in the terror which seizes me, by questioning me if I were to dare or to turn over me " On the one hand, the great desire excited me to reach what I had in front of me; in addition, the terrifying aspect of the very hard place pushed back me and, to tell the truth, I have a great fear by seeing in front of me a so difficult path. I thus remained in a great sorrow, not seeing any man close to me which could advise me or comfort me in this alternative " thus finding Me without assistance nor consolation, I taken my courage with two hands, especially by pointing out my dream to me, and I advanced with the grace of God of a merry step, while being obliged to frequently rest me before to have achieved the rise of the place. But, when I reached the height or the node, I do not live anything in front of me but one vast wide; I was thus obliged to resort to my small compass which I had carried with any chance; and this one showed me soon its finger the city which was closer than I had thought it. " I thus entered the mountain, and I arrived at the true capital, of which I forgot the name. I questioned at once the inhabitants of this region about wise and, like the situation and the place of its residence to me were indicated, I went to discuss with him (4) " But here that I found a man extraordinary, who resembled to a robber, with a brigand, or with a coarse craftsman spending his days in front of a forging mill, to burn coal, well more than with a scientist physicist. But in truth, in the conversation, I found such an amount of reason and skill in him, which I would not have liked it to believe and which thousand others would not believe it without to have heard it. Because all the Wise ones of the six other capitals were obliged to only take consulting of him when it was about a very significant thing " It is thus a great stupidity to want to judge according to the aspect of the people, as well as known as the poet: Saepe latent humili, strong sub corpore transfer, which also applies to this man " This man coarse and strange, but very erudite according to the spirit, occupied a place and a residence singular; moreover, it had qualities and manners extremely strange, and by which I was astonished largely " Because, just as Diogène remained in a barrel as it preferred with the most beautiful palates, in the same way Nature had also established in the nature of this adventurer, by strange influences and incidences, the determination to elect itself as remains a place pareillement strange; it was concerned with any pump neither ostentation about beautiful palates nor of beautiful clothing; but it made great case of its wisdom and of its virtues which it liked more than all the treasures of the world " Its residence was in a coarse and hard rock, where neither heat nor the cold could reach it; but, inside, its rooms were painted with so beautiful colors natural, that they appeared built with most invaluable jasper, or painted by the most skilful artist who had spent there all his art and all his skill. " In the same way, it never suffered neither from the thirst nor for the hunger; but, according to the ordinary habits and customs, it obeyed the Cupid's darts; this is why it often worried, while seeking to come out, which always did not allow him those which lived with him. It thus called the neighbors, saying to them: Friends, help me a little to leave to the light, then I will

perfect medicine for the conservation of my health until the term predestined by God. I thus<br />

deliberated in myself at which city I should return to me initially, since it depended on my<br />

good fortune if somebody among these Wise would like or even could satisfy me.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore I learned on several occasions, with my detriment, which the remarks are useless<br />

if the prosperity and the blessing of God are missing; in the same way, I supposed easily<br />

that, though these seven Wise had been praised like wisest in all arts of the whole world,<br />

the intelligence was not to be similar for all, but different for each one, because God<br />

constantly endows a man of more than intelligence, virtues and of wisdom that another, so<br />

that one exceeds much the other in quality and virtues; I thus thought that it was to be the<br />

same for it for these Wise. I thus requested with heat God the Almighty to act on the true<br />

to me aloud: Direct T to undertake the voyage; and, as it was undoubtedly a good angel<br />

which had indicated the direction in the dream of it to me, I started, with the grace of God "<br />

But, as soon as I desired to advance, I live in front of me high and pointed rocks, a hard and<br />

hard path, deep cracks, pits of smoke where water produced by its fall such a noise that I<br />

was frightened by it; and I stopped abruptly in the terror which seizes me, by questioning<br />

me if I were to dare or to turn over me " On the one hand, the great desire excited me to<br />

reach what I had in front of me; in addition, the terrifying aspect of the very hard place<br />

pushed back me and, to tell the truth, I have a great fear by seeing in front of me a so<br />

man coarse and strange, but very erudite according to the spirit, occupied a place and a<br />

residence singular; moreover, it had qualities and manners extremely strange, and by which<br />

I was astonished largely " Because, just as Diogène remained in a barrel as it preferred with<br />

the most beautiful palates, in the same way Nature had also established in the nature of this<br />

adventurer, by strange influences and incidences, the determination to elect itself as remains<br />

a place pareillement strange; it was concerned with any pump neither ostentation about<br />

beautiful palates nor of beautiful clothing; but it made great case of its wisdom and of its<br />
