Edward de Vere was supposed to have passed away on June 24, 1604, the feast day of John the Baptist, and the celebration of the summer solstice. The vault of Christian Rosenkreuz was also supposed to have been discovered that year, along with the Hampton Court Conference with King James I, to discuss creating a new Bible. As Francis Bacon was supposed to have been the leader of the Rosicrucians at this time, and the editor of the King James Bible, was this when Bacon took over for de Vere as the head of the esoteric and exoteric propaganda teams? Was the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, along with the commencement of the shortening of the days, the symbolic time when de Vere would echo the words of John the Baptist, "He (Bacon) must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30 KJV).
