Echo of the Rosicrucian Colloquy

silence until now / has led
many people astray; however, only
those / who could not wait for the
proper time with patience.
Among whom you, for your part,
should nevertheless not be counted:
because you, together with several
other fine, good-hearted people well known to us,
have at all times been more for than against us original: "pro als contra nos".
Just as you then very well proved
this with oral defense Defendirung: a formal advocacy or public justification of a position,
always among those / who / out of gross
ignorance / were hateful toward us.
Likewise, Mr. Michael Maier Michael Maier (1568–1622) was a renowned German physician, alchemist, and counselor to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. He was one of the most influential early defenders of the Rosicrucian Order.,
as a learned man / has
performed and done such in writing /
as is reasonably and well demonstrated
by his Silence After the Clamors original: Silentium post clamores (1617). In this work, Maier defended the Rosicrucians' right to remain silent and invisible despite the public "clamor" or outcry demanding they reveal themselves.,
