Early Rosicruican tracts were EXTREMELY cricital of the Catholic Church during a time where it wasn't too uncommon for the prevailing religious authority to have people disappeared, tortured, and killed. In circumstances such as those, you'd be pretty secretive too, I'm sure.

Rosicrucians rules of conduct were six in number, # 6 was a rule of secrecy.
First. That, in their travels, they should gratuitously cure all diseases.
Secondly. That they should always dress in conformity to the fashion of the country in which they resided.
Thirdly. That they should, once every year, meet together in the place appointed by the fraternity, or send in writing an available excuse.
Fourthly. That every brother, whenever he felt inclined to die, should choose a person worthy to succeed him.
Fifthly. That the words "Rose-cross" should be the marks by which they should recognise each other.
Sixthly. That their fraternity should be kept secret for six times twenty years. ^
