However, in drafting the US constitution, the fathers decided to<br />

subjugate liberty to order. <strong>The</strong>y returned to the concept of order out of<br />

chaos. <strong>The</strong>y regarded the definition of good and evil as a matter of<br />

theology, not government, and saw the rule of law as more important.<br />

When it came to that rule of law, it was the society that mattered, not the<br />

individual. <strong>The</strong> 1761 Bill of Rights overturned this mistake and<br />

reintroduced the importance of individual liberty in law. It remains a<br />

salutary warning to all literal Freemasons.<br />

While <strong>The</strong> Golden and Rosy Cross dissolved, the Societas<br />

Rosicruciana in Anglia reused its rituals in 1793. 1121 <strong>The</strong> Societas<br />

Rosicruciana in Scotia and the American Societas Rosicruciana in<br />

Civitibus Foederatis are associates of this order.<br />

One Rosicrucian group, the Societas Rosicruciana of<br />

Pennsylvania, claims lineage to the original German Rosicrucians. It also<br />

claims a heritage to the original church of Jerusalem of the Nazarenes,<br />

which we also associate with the Great Heresy of the Bogomils. <strong>The</strong><br />

Societas Rosicruciana is supposedly one half of the true order with the<br />

other half being invited Grand Masters of Freemasonry. Some believe<br />

this group unified Freemasonry since John Toland rationalized and<br />

formalized its rituals in 1723.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rosicrucians in Europe associated with the Family of<br />

Love. 1122 <strong>The</strong>y sponsored and educated Sir Francis Bacon and appear to<br />

have facilitated the protection of Britain by giving assistance to Sir<br />

Francis Walsingham's famous network of spies.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Family of Love or Houses of Love, a term also used recently<br />

by the Children of God cult, was formerly a mystery school or fellowship<br />

of scholarly adepts dedicated to preserve Mystery truths. 1123 One of its<br />

most enthusiastic members, Christopher Plantin, was a French printer in<br />

Antwerp. He published the 1577 edition of Alicat's Emblemata, which<br />

first contained the Rosicrucians’ enigmatic AA emblem.<br />
