HISTORY OF THE ROSICRUCIANS.
fear those things that will happen, and fall back. You need
no sword or other bodily weapon, only call upon your God,
sincerely and heartily seeking Him.
When you have discovered the mountain,
the first
miracle that will appear is this a most vehement and very
great
wind will shake the whole mountain and shatter
the rocks to pieces. You will be encountered by lions,
dragons, and other terrible wild beasts ;
but fear not
any of these things. Be resolute and take heed that you
return not, for your guide who brought you thither will
not suffer any evil to befall you. As for the treasure, it is
not yet discovered, but it is very near. After this wind
will come an earthquake, which will overthrow those things
which the wind had left. Be sure you fall not off. The
earthquake being passed, there shall follow a fire that will
consume the earthly rubbish and discover the treasure, but
as yet you cannot see it. After all these things, and near
daybreak, there shall be a great calm, and you shall see the
day-star arise, and the darkness will disappear. You will
conceive a great treasure ; the chiefest thing and the most
perfect is a certain exalted tincture, with which the world,
if it served God and were worthy of such gifts, might be
tinged and turned into most pure gold.
