Philipp Joseph Frick: Music and millenarianism

[Paul Ferguson]

"Among the lunatics of his day and age, Frick counts the ‘Alchymists, and other idle Writers, who believe that this world will remain, and therefore, endeavour to provide for worldly ease, though they see that the time for living here is but short; moreover, because they mix the Good with the Evil, acknowledging the Commands of our Saviour, and nevertheless meddle with gold making, which neither Christ nor his Apostles did.’"
