DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...Error hath not knowne, Of Herbes and Trees true nomination, But thinke them fabulous that shall be showne. Learne more, search much, and surely you shall find, Plaine Honest Truth and knowledge comes behind. The whole of this short poem is in italics. Now follows a dialogue, between Nature, the Phoenix and the Turtle Dove. The curious part of the opening of this conversation is the lengthy disquisition upon envy. The Phoenix is afraid of "Envie." Now, this is a remarkable feature and unexplainable, except as reference to something esoteric and profound--perhaps outside the work. Nature undertakes to secure the Phoenix from Envy: --Nature.--He shall not touch a feather of thy wing, Or ever have Authoritie and power, As he hath had in his days secret prying, Over thy calmie lookes to send a shower: lie place thee now in secrecie's sweet bower, Where at thy will, in sport and dallying, Spend out thy time in Amourous discoursing. The line in italics is our own. Nature intends to place the Phoenix out of the reach Envy "in secrecie's sweet bower." This is fresh and positive proof of the profound and esoteric nature of the secret connected and prefigured by the Phoenix. That all this can have no possible reference to Elizabeth is plain upon the surface. It is evident that the problem connected with the Phoenix is not only unsafe for publishing, but of such rarity as likely to provoke envy and malice from its very excellence. We must therefore be prepared, after this direct hint from Nature to find nothing but enigmas in the place of plainer revelation. The dedication of Robert Chester to Sir John Salisburie is as follows: --"Honorable Sir, having, according to the directions of some of my best "minded friends, t...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs David Ovason reveals, many leading esoteric writers - alchemists, occultists and Rosicrucians -contributed to this 'Secret booke'. Among the more outstanding English literary figures who used the code were the mysterious adviser to Elizabeth I, John Dee, the turbulent author of The Alchemist, Ben Jonson, and the more classically-minded Edmund Spenser, whose poem 'The Faerie Queene' is the best-known esoteric work of the period. Shakespeare's Secret Booke reveals many other literary figures who together form a remarkable underground literary movement, including the most influential esotericist of the period, Jacob Boehme, and alchemists such as the English polymath Robert Fludd. Another was Shakespeare's contemporary, the youthful Johann Valentin Andreae, credited as author of The Chymical Wedding - a Rosicrucian work replete with sophisticated examples of encoding. --
