to venture a judgment. In the secret principles of the Society of Jesus original: "Gesellschaft Jesu", more commonly known as the Jesuits. I was, alas! myself raised, and I owe it to the world to provide news and a warning here regarding their highly dangerous and still ongoing plans. The letter regarding Freemasonry original: "Freymaurerey" I received from the hands of an old, genuine member of this so often misunderstood society; and regarding today's so-called German Rosicrucians original: "Rosencreuzer", if one should doubt what I have provided in the essay on them, I can release documents which I would, however, prefer to suppress if I am not prompted to do so. In general, however, one finds here less of a betrayal of the unknown internal organization of all three societies, but rather, according to the rules established earlier, an assessment of them such as anyone can make based on their external fruits The author suggests that a group's value should be measured by its visible impact on society rather than its hidden rituals..
