The world was left thus free for the Masonic philosophers to compass the destruction which they planned at Wilhelmsbad and effected in the revolution eight years afterwards.
End of footnote
And at this precise juncture, when the political fortunes of France were, for many reasons, growing desperate, two events occurred to make the already general and corrupt Freemasonry still more formidable.
These were the advent of the Illuminism of Saint Martin in France and that of Adam Weishaupt in Germany, and the increased corruption introduced principally by means of women freemasons.
A Portuguese Jew, named Martinis Pasqualis, was the first to introduce Illuminism into the lodge of Lyon, and his system was afterwards perfected in wickedness by Saint Martin, from whom French Illuminism took its name.
Illuminism meant the extreme extent of immorality, atheism, anarchy, leveling, and bloodshed to which the principles of masonry could be carried.
It meant a universal conspiracy against the church and established order.
It constituted a degree of advancement for all the lodges, and powerfully aided to make them the centers of revolutionary intrigue and of political manipulation which they soon became in the hands of men at once sunk in atheism and moral corruption.
An idea of these lodges may be obtained from a description given of that of Hermanonville by Monsieur Le Marquis de Lefro in Dictioner des Er social, quoted by Des Champ, volume two, page ninety three.
It is known, he says, that
That the Chateau d'Hermanonville, belonging to the Sieur Giardin, about ten leagues from Paris, was a famous haunt of Illuminism.
It is known that there, near the tomb of Jean Jacques, under the pretext of bringing men back to the age of nature, reigned the most horrible dissoluteness of morals.
Nothing can equal the turpitude of morals which reigns amongst that horde of Hermanonville.
Every woman admitted to the mysteries of
which became common to the brothers, and was delivered up to the chance or to the choice of these true Adamites.
Parouch in his memoir sur le Jacobinisme, volume four, page three hundred and thirty four, says that Monsieur Le Seur, the father of the hero of La Vende, having been affiliated to a lodge of this kind.
and having, in obedience to the promptings of conscience, abandoned it, was soon after poisoned.
He himself declared to the Marquis de Montron that he fell a victim to that infamous horde of the Illuminati.
The Illuminism of Saint Martin was simply an advance in the intensity of immorality, atheism, secrecy, and terror which already reigned in the lodges of France.
It planned a deeper means of revolution and destruction.
