sanctuary was separated from the temple, and the temple besieged by those which were<br />

in the squares. Time comes where sanctuary more interior must to join together with temple,<br />

so that those which are in the temple can act on those which are in the squares, until the<br />

squares are thrown outside " In our sanctuary, which is most interior, all the mysteries of the<br />

spirit and of the truth are preserved purely; it never could be profaned by laymen, nor<br />

soiled by the impure ones. This sanctuary is invisible, like the east a force which one does<br />

not know that in the action " In our school all can be taught, because our Master is his light<br />

even and his spirit. Our sciences are the heritage promised to the elected officials or with<br />

those which are able to receive the light, and the practice of our sciences is the plenitude of<br />

divine alliance with the children of the men. Now we filled our load and we announced to you<br />

the approach of the Great South and the meeting of the most interior sanctuary with the<br />

temple " (55) On this subject we summarize the developments which gives Echo DER<br />

von Gott erleuchteten Fraternitet (40): Summun Bonum is Wisdom. But it is necessary to<br />

distinguish human wisdom from divine wisdom. First is imperfect, dubious, skeptic; all its<br />

defects are exposed in the book of very erudite Agrippa, which had further seen than<br />

human philosophy. <strong>The</strong> wisdom of the world is madness to the eyes of God (2). <strong>The</strong> wise<br />

ones of this world often make, with all their intelligence, of the foolish actions, even from their<br />

own point of view, because their wisdom is perishable, transitory and inconstant. It is with<br />

reason that Syracide affirms: Any wisdom comes from the Lord God and is eternal with him<br />

(I, 1). <strong>The</strong> Writing thus teaches us that there is a divine wisdom. Solomon known as: <strong>The</strong><br />

Lord gives wisdom and by its mouth go down knowledge and comprehension (Sapience<br />

VII, 15). It gives the characters of this wisdom: " It is, says it, the breath of the divine power,<br />

a ray of the magnificence of the Almighty, the splendour of the eternal light, an immaculate<br />

mirror of the divine power, an image of its kindness. It is transmitted on this ground by the<br />

mouth of the saints and the prophets, but the Verb of God is the well of wisdom and the<br />

eternal law is the source " Job (XXVIII, 20, 21) known as that it is hidden with the eye of all<br />

the alive ones. However the Lord wants that the man is intelligent and that it can recognize<br />

His will; it is necessary thus that we endeavour to acquire wisdom. In the Old Will, Adam,<br />

Noah, Batch, Jacob, Joseph and Moïse Josué, David, Solomon, Daniel, Esdras had this<br />

wisdom in sharing, with Samuel, Élie, Élisée, Isaïe. Jesus-Christ made give her disciples,<br />

Bien few men received this divine gift; it is necessary for that to become enemy world;<br />

those which the world hates are liked of God " II does not have there a wise man, known as<br />

Tertullien, which the world does not hold for insane; because the wisdom of this world is right<br />

the opposite of that of the Sky and, to find the latter, it is necessary to give up all the<br />

terrestrial wisdom which one was acquired " That is thus because, according to Luc (XVI,<br />

15), all that is large in front of the world is nothing with the eyes of God. Wisdom is thus at<br />

the humble ones, as well as known as Solomon (3). Humility lights the lights of<br />

entendement, just as sincerity and uprightness. <strong>The</strong> purification of the heart is the<br />

preparation necessary to receive wisdom; but it is necessary to seek the active life before<br />

the contemplative life. Wisdom distributes its gifts according to the men; it gives the word,<br />

knowledge or the faith; it delivers the key of the things hidden, passed or future; it confers<br />

the science of all things on the ground and in the skies; it learns how to read the thoughts of<br />

the men, with speaking all the languages. It is the tree of life, it shows the way of the<br />

kingdom of God. It confers the capacity to return the S opened. <strong>The</strong> author of this small<br />

treaty returns testimony of the great favours whose Wisdom filled. God showed him initially<br />

the véritabIe path with his three degrees such as Jesus taught with his disciples; then the<br />

true way of requesting and manner of distinguishing the enemies from God of with his<br />

friends. After having received the second degree of Wisdom, it accepted an art to enquérir,<br />

after a certain preparation, future things concerning the temporal things. II accepted in the<br />

same degree of subtle interpretations of the Writings; the first method consists in writing or<br />

giving many combinations of a word or a crowned sign; the second learns how to find<br />

seven directions of a same sentence. <strong>The</strong>se two methods exceed in ingeniousness and indepth<br />

all that Trithème and Porta wrote on the subject. II discovered the root of all the<br />

languages and built for this purpose a speculum archetypum which gives the meaning of all
