Definitely not pic rel, OP. That book is basically "Why I am Protestant and that's okay," and though it is humble and a nice delightful read, it's just some modestly well educated guy's diary.
urn burial is a compilation of funerary practices in england, antiquity and the bible.
garden of cyrus is a jumbled attempt at numerology using plants from his garden (and from famous gardens of antiquity naturally)
religio medici is a boring protestent profession of faith
browne was a fantastic writer and an inquisitive gentleman like many of his peers. he collected strange objects and studied them through a thoroughly materialistic lens (like his peers). he then added a patina of hermeticism/neoplatonism as was fashionable at the time. there are no profound mysteries here, you just like that he uses "smart words" like "hydriotaphia" and "archetype" (same as every other 20th century esotericist mishmashing shit that sounded cool to form a system)
where are the arguments? i doubt either of you have read beyond the thomas browne wikipedia page.

I suggest you check out the John Dee wikipedia next, he also uses big words
Again, I'm not arguing, I am positing. "Profound mysteries" is a spook.
You are not as intelligent as you think you are
He’s one of my favourite writers and I would agree with [...]. He was a garden variety neoplatonist and a generally curious, versatile intellect. There’s nothing magical in his works per se, although he was far from a materialist. He essentially saw the material world as a shadow of another realm approached by us only through symbol. I have the original manuscript of his works.
I use materialist not in the vulgar sense, but in the genuine scientific curiosity of the 17th and early 18th centuries. For him the material body has a true significance in all its parts. That's a cool book, post the title page

that's surface level grade school shit, he was talking about the REAL esoteric stuff, but you wouldn't know anything about that...

I own a copy. I've found it more useful as a reference book than as something to read all the way through.
I don't like it personally. Quite biased. Outdated. Might as well read Levi.

there is absolutely nothing esoteric about browne
The fact you can't locate his esotericism proves how esoteric he is
