Revelation of Divine Majesty

DEDICATORY.

Let everyone test whether he brings forth the fruits of faith or unbelief, the works of the Spirit or of the flesh. Let him see whether he walks in light or darkness, and whether he is found among the wise or the foolish virgins. This is so that when we preach to others and point out their errors, we ourselves are not found reprehensible. To the learned, this Opus work is a signpost to strive for much higher things. To the artists, it opens their eyes to reach the right Christian Philosophy a spiritual approach to nature and God and to turn away from the heathen and false ways. It helps them to recognize what is lacking, to cut away the superfluous and useless, and to seek and find everything solely in the single center from which it flowed. It points to the right means, not only for specific medicine, the art of the stars astrology, the art of forms, otherwise called signatura rerum the signature of things, the art of building, and knowledge of many and all languages, as well as the art of song. These are to be brought back into practice without lack, according to the content of the Word of God and the examples of our dear ancestors. It also treats how one may attain the Universal Tincture a legendary alchemical substance capable of perfecting all things. Beyond that, it shows how to reach the high gifts of the Holy Spirit to recognize all creatures alongside the glorious majesty of God, through the means of Christian preparation. From the consideration and weighing of all this, it finally shows how harmoniously this author agrees with the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross Fraternitet vom Rosen Creutz, which was discovered some years ago, according to the content of their Fama The Discovery of the Brotherhood and Confessio The Confession of the Brotherhood.

Since this work is very weighty in its own essence original: "in recessu suo", most noble and gracious Electors, Counts, and Lords, I have found it useful to publish for the reasons mentioned above. This makes the claims of the mentioned Brotherhood more possible and true. It opens the eyes of those who deny or doubt. It gratifies those who seek a more stable and higher ground, as well as things higher than the common, especially in philosophizing. Also, the Elenchus Capitum list of chapters has been carried around for many years until now, keeping some people in suspense. Now, the matter itself original: "res ipsa" should be communicated to them.
