Progress of Enlightenment: A Brief Overview of the Practical Execution of the System of the Illuminati (1790) - Page 2

Besides the manuscript from which these quires were taken, a 4to page 121, there lies another belonging to me, on which the late Loder wrote in his own hand: Regie des Lumieres par var. Eclaircissemens Governance of the Enlightenment by various clarifications. In this copy, reference is made to the distance.
Attached is an essay: "It has been about a few months since I spoke to you Princes with all the warmth of truth about the danger, etc." by Thoman, the shipowner, etc.—[which] becomes an inexhaustible source of the most tireless misery.
On the title page, written by the hand of Victor v. Löwenburg: "Instructions for the 2nd degree regarding the danger of Thoman." This second piece thus does not seem to have been printed.

Note

Here follows a component of Bahrdt's system. I have sufficient

data, and I now prove the intention, in what manner princes and states can and should work against this sect, which is so dangerous to humanity.

kurze Uebersicht der praktischen Ausführung des Systems des Illuminats

brief overview of the practical execution of the system of the Illuminati

so clearly, drawn from the most remarkable intentions, their basic rules, and their own

constitutions, and supported by important papers, documents, and

facts.

In what manner all forces are to be used for the great ultimate goal of a general state revolution, in order to restore the system of nature, through which alone humans are happy, to its rights. For the information of those directing in the dioceses.

1. The root cause of all physical and moral effects are the inner forces of things; to set these in motion is the art of acting; for when these forces are set in motion, they produce necessary consequences.

2. There are acting and leading forces; the former are the living or active ones, the latter are the slumbering or passive ones.

3. The active are superior to the passive, or the busy to the idle; therein consists the superiority of all things.

4. The greatest part of the human race now languishes stupidly under the despotism of princes and priests, because these have the active power in their control, and the remaining part of humanity is only the leading one.

5. The preponderance of princes and priests over the people took its existence from the prejudice of opinions in religious and political concepts; therein lay the weakness of the people and the strength of the ruler.

6. The spirit of the peoples was forged to the chains of opinions, weak prejudices man?
