Weishaupt, at the safe distance of Coburg Gotha, gave them his willing aid and that of the German Freemasons.
This concert enabled them to float on every billow which the troubled sea of the revolution caused to swell.
And if they did not succeed in making France and all Europe a social ruin, such as that contemplated at Wilhelmswad, it was from want of power not from want of will.
Position and wealth made many of them desire to conserve what the revolution threw into their hands, but they remained under all changes of fortune, Freemasons, as they and their successors are to this day.
Perhaps, under the influence of oaths, of secret terror, and of the sect, they dare not remain long otherwise.
One or two individuals may drop aside, but some fatality or necessity keeps the leaders illuminati always.
They as a whole body remain ever the same and
and recoil before political adversity, only to gather more strength for a future attack upon religion and order still wider and more fatal than the one which preceded it.
They are not at any time one whit less determined to plunge the world into the anarchy and bloodshed they created at the French Revolution than they were in seventeen eighty nine.
On this point let one of themselves speak.
I have had says a Scotch Freemason horrified at the results achieved by the fraternity in their work up to seventeen ninety-seven.
I have had the means to follow all the attempts made during fifty years under the specious pretext of enlightening the world with the torch of philosophy, and to dissipate all the clouds by which superstition, religious and civil, used to retain the people of Europe in the darkness of slavery.
I have observed the progress of these doctrines mixing themselves and allying themselves more and more closely with the different systems of masonry.
Finally, I have seen them forming an association having for its sole object the destruction, even to the very foundations, of all the religious establishments, and the overthrow of all the existing governments of Europe.
I have seen that association extend its systems with a zeal so sustained that it became almost irresistible, and I have remarked that the personages who have had the greatest part in the French Revolution were members of that association.
That their plans had been conceived upon its principles and executed with its assistance.
I am convinced that it exists always, that it works always silently, and all appearances prove that not only its emissaries strongly endeavor to propagate amongst us its abominable doctrines, but that there are even in England lodges which since seventeen eighty four correspond with the mother lodge.
It is in order to unmask these, to prove that the ringleaders are knaves who preached a morality and a doctrine of which they knew the falsehood and the danger, and that their real intention was
was to abolish all forms of religion, to overthrow all governments, and to make of the entire world one scene of pillage and murder, that I offer an extract of the information I have taken on this matter.
I have quoted these words of Robison to show that as early as seventeen ninety seven, the connection between Freemasonry and the French Revolution was well understood.
