ABSTRACT

In the year 1623 placards are said to have appeared in Paris announcing the presence in the town of the Brethren of the Rose Cross. 1

We, being deputies of the principle College of the Brothers of the Rose Cross, are making a visible and invisible stay in this city through the Grace of the Most High, towards whom turn the hearts of the Just. We show and teach without books or marks how to speak all languages of the countries where we wish to be, and to draw men from error and death.
