"He learned there better the Arabian tongue: so that the year following he translated the book M. into good Latine, and I have put it into English wearing the title of The Wiseman's Crown; whereunto is added A new Method of Rosie Crucian Physick. This is the place where he did learn his Physick and Philosophie, how to raise the dead; for example, as a Snake cut in pieces and rotted in dung will every piece prove a whole Snake again, &c., and then they began to practise further matters and to kill birds and to burn them before they are cold in a Glass, and so rotted, and then inclosed in a shell, to hatch it under a hen, and restore the same; and other strange proofs they made of Dogs, Hogs, or Horses, and by the like corruption to raise them up and again and renew them. And at last they could restore by the same course every brother that died to life again, and so continue many ages. "Brother C. R. after many travels, returned again into Germany, and there builded a neat and fitting habitation, upon a little hill or mount, and on the hill there rested always a cloud; and he did there render himself visible or invisible, at his own will and discretion. "After five years came into his minde the wished return of the children of Israel out of Egypt, how God would bring them out of bondage with the Instrument Moses. Then he went to his Cloyster, to which he bare affection, and desired three of his brethren to go with him to Moses, the chosen servant of God. Brother G. V., Brother J. A., and Brother J. O., who besides that they had more knowledge in the Arts than at that time many others had, he did binde those three unto himselfe, to be faithful, diligent, and secret; as also to commit carefully to writing what Moses did; and also all that which he should direct and instruct them in, to the end that those which were to come, and through especial Revelation should be received into this Fraternity, might not be deceived of the least syllable and word. "After this manner began the Fraternity of the Rosie Cross, first by four persons, who died and rose again until Christ, and then they came to worship as the Star guided them to Bethlem of Judea, where lay our Saviour in his mother's arms; and then they opened their treasure and presented unto Him Gifts, Gold, Frankinsense, and Myrrhe, and by the commandment of God went home to their habitation. "These four waxing young again successively many hundreds of years, made a Magical Language and Writing, with a large Dictionary, which are yet in daily use to God's praise and glory, and do finde great wisdome therein; they made also the first part of the Book M. which I will shortly publish by the title of The Wiseman's Crown."
