Those who are true Disciples of Wisdom, and true Followers of the
Spherical Art, will consider better of these things, and have them in
greater estimation, as also judge far otherwise of them, as hath been done
by some principal Persons but especially of Adam Haselmeyer, Notarius
Publicus to the Arch Duke Maximilian, who likewise hath made an Extract
ex scriptis Theologicis Theophrasti, and written a Treatise under the
Title of Jesuiter, wherein he willeth, that every Christian should be a
true Jesuit, that is, to walk, live, be, and remain in Jesus. He was but
ill rewarded of the Jesuits, because in his Answer written upon the
_Famam_, he did name those of the Fraternity of the Rosie Cross, the
highly illuminated men, and undeceiving Jesuits; for they not able to
brook this, layd hands on him, and put him into the Calleis, for which
they likewise have to expect their reward.
Blessed Aurora will now henceforth begin to appear, who (after the passing
away of the dark Night of Saturn) with her Brightness altogether
extinguisheth the shining of the Moon, or the small Sparks of Heavenly
Wisdom, which yet remaineth with men, and is a Forerunner of pleasant
Phebus, who with his clear and fiery glistering Beams brings forth that
Blessed Day long wished for, of many true hearted; by which Daylight then
shall truly be known, and shall be seen all heavenly Treasures of godly
Wisdom, as also the Secrets of all hidden and invisible things in the
World according to the Doctrine of our Forefathers and ancient Wisemen.
This will be the right kingly Ruby, and most excellent shining Carbuncle,
of the which it is said, That he doth shine and give light in darkness,
and to be a perfect Medicine of all imperfect Bodies, and to change them
into the best Gold, and to cure all Diseases of Men, easing them of all
pains and miseries.
Be, therefore, gentle Reader, admonished, that with me you do earnestly
pray to God, that it please him to open the hearts and ears of all ill
hearing people, and to grant unto them his blessing, that they may be able
to know him in his Omnipotency, with admiring contemplation of Nature, to
his honour and praise, and to the love, help, comfort and strengthening of
our Neighbours, and to the restoring of the diseased.
Fama Fraternitatis,
Or, A Discovery of the Fraternity of the most laudable
Order of the Rosy Cross.
