Funeral Oration for the Obsequies of Karl von Hund

intended to accept high titles and appoint them as his governors. At the same time, a Spica aurea the Golden Ear of Corn sought an important correspondence to Italy, in which he could, however, merely provide news to Senff mustard; here likely a nickname or code name regarding a Victoria the Victory and him? from Hassrath, through which the honor of the O.? likely an abbreviation for the Order Magistery? of the H. R. C. likely Holy Roman Chapter or similar felt offended, and believed they could demand an account not only because of these insolences, but also because of the collection of the other provinces. However, both were denied to them, all the more so since many of these men, who stood loyally by him, were Swiss and had been led into all sorts of fanatical whims.

I must, however, introduce you to this man somewhat. He was the son of good parents, possessed mediocre gifts, had absolutely no knowledge of sciences or languages, and yet proposed as the goal of his Circle? as G. C. Grand Commander or similar rank that its members had to be instructed in all sorts of advice by the spirit. He created various arts which our superiors—whom he did not lead into his school until he believed that such natural spirits had prepared them for his end goal—were supposed to learn, in order to also surpass the old secrets in this way. I met him in Leipzig before the Easter Fair of 1774, but he called me a Nachrath follower/subordinate counselor of the G., just like everyone else. Now he said to our high office that he was not R. M. likely Ritus Magister or similar title but was doing Erm.? possibly abbreviation for a secret task or term at the land of thanksgiving, and that he could not be. After I had been presented to him by the H.? Geb.? High/Honorable Administrator of the 7th Prov.? Province a Ruth, I immediately saw his works; I do not know where from his spirit, or from a David Rath possibly a proper name or title regarding the capital of the spirit, I might have had more news. Suffice it to say, I did not attain this luck over every pretext, although I was—even as a half, so much—his supposed superior in the prince or 'the province', likely referring to a specific hierarchical standing did not lead me there sooner, and seemed to hold the same 8 days longer in Leipzig than I

was first willing to be. Imagine the intellect of this man; he had been a Coffetier coffee-house keeper in Leipzig for many years, and had been there some years before the close? referring to a convent or institutional closure, had a brother who was a banker in Leipzig, and he committed the folly of posing during this Leipzig fair as a French colonel and natural son of the late Duke of Orleans. In this capacity he also went to Dresden, but the magistrate of this city could not possibly be indifferent to this; he demanded his legitimation. This made a tear in his calculation, and his brother could not help him with his goods nor his honor. He therefore returned to Leipzig; even here he was pursued, to which he was now determined to seek his fortune in another part of the world, or rather, pursued by divine vengeance, he became his own murderer, as he shot himself during the Michaelmas Fair of 1774. This was the end of a forbidden [man], who, without any gifts, received followers, and yet had almost brought about a great disruption of the O., for since it was unfortunately more than too well known that one held the arts of these people to be arts of the Erm. possibly abbreviation for Order-Masters, not only would the O. have been compromised here at the Dresden court, but all noble free men [would have been], as they already received local news. The brothers in Dresden felt this contempt, and instead of expressing their sensitivity towards those who had brought them this impostor, they now turned, satisfied, against the O. Those disputes were enlarged by this bitterness. Br. Gassner a name; likely a historical figure in these circles showed grace as the shortest means and issued a convent in the month of May 1775 to Braunschweig.
