It will be seen from this list that the Rosicrucian mani- festoes found an immediate defender in Robert Fludd, that is, if the " Apologia " which bears his name is to be con- sidered his work. There is some uncertainty on this point,
ROSICRUCIAN APOLOGISTS: ROBERT FLUDD. 289 but it has been disputed on insufficient grounds. As a maiden effort, it will not of course bear comparison with the dialectical skill of his mature productions, but the principles it propounds are those of the " Mosaicall Philosophy " and the " Tractatus Varii." " What was the particular occa- sion of his own first acquaintance with Kosicrucianism is not recorded," says Buhle. " All the books of Alchemy or other occult knowledge, published in Germany, were at that time immediately carried over to England provided they were written in Latin ; and if written in German, were soon translated for the benefit of English students. He may therefore have gained his knowledge immediately from the Eosicrucian books, but it is more probable that he acquired it from his friend Maier. ... At all events, he must have been initiated into Eosicrucianism at an early period." By whomsoever written, the "Tractatus Apologeticus " is an exceedingly curious work, so astonishing occasionally in the nature of its arguments that it is difficult to suppose that they were put forward seriously. It was called for by Andrew Libavius' " searching and hostile analysis " of the Eosicrucian Confession, and was written to clear the Society from the Infamies, maculce cast on it by the accusations then brought forward, and above all from the charges of detest- able magic and diabolical superstition. It is divided into three parts, and various chapters are illustrated by appropriate quotations from the manifesto it is defending, whose underlying principles are developed and explained. The first part treats of the various departments of magical science, of the Cabala, of the Books of God, both visible and invisible, of the secret characters of Nature, and of the value of astrological portents. The second part is devoted T
