T^HE Author of the follov^ing Pages has the -■" Honour of being well refpeded in moft of the Lodges of Reputation in this Metropolis, and has been a frequent Vifitor at the Queen's Arms, St. Paul's Chvrch-yardj the Globe, in Fleet -ftreet j the Jerufaleiti, at Clerkenwellj Half-moon, Cheapfide ; Crown and Anchor in the Str&nd ; Salutation, Grey-Friars ; and feveral others of lefs Note. An Earned Defire of becoming a perfeft Matter of Masonry, and the Succefs he met with in his firft Attempt, has rendered him capable of reveal- ing thofe Myfteries to the World, which, till now, have been kept fecret as the Grave. He acquired his Knowledge at firft from fome loofe Papers belonging to a Merchant to whom he was nearly related, who had been a Member of the Queen's Arms, St. Paul's Church-yard. This Re- latior dying about ten Years ago, the Editor be- came poflefled of his Effedis j and on looking over his Papers, among others he found fome Memo- randums or Remarks on Mason r\, which excited his Curiofity fo far, that he refolved on accomplirti- ing his Scheme, without going through the Cere- monies required by the Society. The Remarks of his Friend abovementioned furnifhed Hints fufficient to make a Trial on an in- timate Acquaintance, a Free Mason, who readi- ly gave him the Sign in the Manner he expeded. After a mere narrow Infpedion on the Part of his Friend, fuch as, where he was made, and when, &c. &c. (to all which he anfwered with great Readinefs) he received an Invitation to fpend an Evening at a Tavern in the Strand, with feveral Acquaintances. • Hti^r . A 2 Elated ftl L,.« ^ m:- *( iv ) ■■ Elated by this Succefs, he boldly advanced witii his Company; all of whom belonged to the Lodge, and were well known by the Tyler at the Door. After the ufual Ceremony, in which he gave full Satisfaction, he was admitted and took his Seat. That Night he faw two Makings*, and came oflT full of Spirits. Soon after he went to another Lodge, where he diftinguiflied himfelf greatly in anfwering the Queftions propofed by the Maftef, which he ac- quired from his Friend's Manufcripts of the En- TKRED Apprentice, and Fellow-Craft's Lc<5tures. His Regard to the Society, and Refpedl to the Public is the only inducement to this Publication, which is intended not only to aflift thofe who have been lately made, and ftill remain ignorant of the true Foundation of the Art, but alfo to give all that have an Inclination to become Mafons an Oppor- tunity of confidering the Advantages and Difadvan- * tages of the Engagements and Oaths by which they are bound. — Such is the Intention of this Under- taking; and the Editor flatters himfelf the Bro- therhood will not condemn his Officioufnefs in this Refpect, as it will rather ftrengthen than hurt the Interefl; of the Society ; the Fear of going through the Ceremony, which hitherto has been reprelented in fuch frightful Shapes, being the greateft Obftacle to its future Welfare and Increaie. The Editor's Ambition is to pleafej and the Work is fubmitted to the only proper Judges, viz. his Brethien the Free Masons j to whom he begs^ leave to declare, that no private or public Quarrel, the View of Gain, nor any other Motive than the Public Good could ever have induced him to write upon this fubject ; and he declares to the World, that the following is the whole of true Masonry - in all its Branches - .<■ -,,.;.,.. .. , .; , -.-, . • Makings, the Term ufed in the circular Letters to the Mem- bers of the Lodge, acquainting them that New Members arc to, bf admitted the next Lodge Night. . .- > .

SINCE the former Edition of this Pamphlet was put to Prer,, tht Author has received from his Puhlilher fcvcral anony- mous Letters, containing the lowcft Abufc and fcurrilous In- veftives ; nay, fpmc have proceeded fo far as to threaten his Perfon. He requerts the Favour of all enraged Brethren, who Ihall chufe to difplay their Talents for the future, that they will be (a kind as to pay the Portage of their Letters, for there can be no Reafon why he ihould put up with their ill Treatment, and pay the Piper into the Bargain. Surely there mull be fome- thing in this Book very extraordinary; a Something they can- not digcil, thus to excite the Wrath and ire of thofe hot-brain- ed Mul'on-bit Gentry! But however unwilling the Editor may he. to publilh a/l the Letters and Mcflages he has received on this occafion, yet he cannot be To deficient in returning the Compli- ment, as to conceal one, which notwithftanding the Thrcatcn- ings contained in it, appears to be wrote with very little mean- ing, and he has (fans ceremonie) ventured to publilh it verbatim.

' I : ( .)'. ■ii H E Origin * of the Society called Free-Mafons is faid by (oine to have been a certain Number of Per- fons who formed a Refolution to rebuild thcTemplc o( Solomon f. This appears from the Lcilure, or • *' ** rather Hiflory, of the Order, aCthe Making or Raif- ing of a Member to the Degree of Mafter, which is fully de- fctibed in the following Work. But I am inclined to think, * The Rife of thii Science (favs an original Record) ww bofose the Flood. In the 4th Chapter, of Geneus it is faid, There was ai Man named Lamtcb who had two Wives named jidab and Zitlah; by Jdab he begat two Sons, Jabal. and Jubaf; by Zillab he begat one Son, called Tubal Cain, and a Daughter named Na«mab> Thefe ^ hildren found oUt the Beginning of all t^.e Crafts in the World } Jabal found out Geometry | he divided Flocks of Sheep, and built the firft Houfu of Timber and bltone. ^'ubal found out the Art of Muflc, and was the Father of all thofc who andled tlit Haqi. Tubal Cain was the InftruAor of all Artiticers in Iron and Brafs } and his Daughter difcovercd the Craft of Weaving. f By an old Record it appears, that King ScUinen confirmed all the Chprgea which King David had given to Mafons in Jtrufalem j and that the Temple was finiihed, A. M. 3000. In the Year 43, after Chrifl, Mafons firft came into England, and built the Monaftcry of Glajlor.bury m Somo-JetJh'-re, that ■m r.««^«MU •kVu vn 1 ( 2 ) that the chief Dcficn of the Eftablifliment is to rc^lfy the Heart, inform the Mind, and promote the Moral and ancial Virtues of Humanity, Dvcc-ncy, and good Order, as much as KoHible in the World : and fome of the Emhlcms of Frce- iafons confirm this Opinion, fuch as the Compafs, Rule, Square, 6cc. In all Countries where Mafonry is pradlifed, or eflabliihed at this time, there is a Grand Mailer i but formerly there was only one Grand Mailer, and he was an Kn^lijhman. His Royal Highness Georgb Prince of Wales is the Perfon on whom the Dignity is now bcftowed, who governs all the Lodges in Great Britain^ and has the power of delivering the Conftitutions and Laws of the Society to the Maftcrs who prefide over the fuhordinatc Aflemblies : which Conftitutions muft always be figncd by the Grand Secretary of the Order. The Grand MalK-r can hold i Meeting or Lodge when he thinks prop'-T, which is generally the Second Saturday in every Month in the Summer, but oftener in the Winter. The other Lodges meet regularly twice a Month in the Winter Half-Year, and once a Month in the Summer ; and the Members of each Lodge pay Quarterly, from 3s. 6d. to 5s. into the Hands of the I'reaiurcr ; and this generally de- frays the Expencc of their Meetings. There arc alfo Quarterly Communications or Meetings, held, at which arc present the Matter and Wardens of every Rccular ConiHtution in and near London^ where the fcveral Lodges fend, by the faid Wardens, different Sums of Money to be paid into the Hands of the Treafurer General^ and ap> propriated to fuch charitable Ufcs as the Grand Mader, and the Maflers of the different Lodges under him, think proper \ but thefe Charities arc chiefly confined to Mafons only, anch as harve good Recommendations as to their Behaviour and Cha- ra£ler, will be aflifted with Five, Ten, or Twenty Pounds j und lefs Sums are diilributed to the indigent Brethren, in Pro> portion to their Wants, and the Number of Years they have been Members. At thefe Quarterly Communications, large Sums are likewife fent fromLodges in the moft remote Parts of the World, viz. in the Eajl and Jf^eji Indies^ and Accounts traiifmittcd of the growth of Mafonry there. The State of the Funds of the Society arc likewife communicated to the Company, and the Deliberations of the Meeting taken down by the Secretary, who lays them before the Grand Mafter at the yearly Meeting. rhe Number of Members which compofe a Lodge is in- determinate ; but it is no Lodge except there are prefent one Miiftcr, three Fellow-Crafts, and two Apprentices. When und Bud to, regu the himi the £fr^ the ibldd ever fhall larl) A «iSfci^:'i '" ;tt '.'iiiL '4 ( 3 ) When ft liodge Is met, there ar*- two principal OfHccrs under the Mafter, called Senior anJ Junior Warilcn«, whole Bufmer^ it is to fee the Laws o^ the Society ftridtly adhered to, and the Wprd of Command given by the CJrand Maftcr rceuiarly followed. •• - - It muft be remarked, thit' the Authority of a Maftcr, though Chief of the Lodge, reaches no farther than he is himfelfan Obferver of the Laws ; ihould he infringe them, the Brethren njver fail to cenftirc him; and it this has no KfFc£t, they ha^c a Power of depofing him, on appealing to the Crrand Mader, and giving their Reafons for it ; but they (bldom pi'oceed to this Extremity. As no Doubt the Reader chufcs to be made acquainted with every Circumftancc of the Ceremony of making a Malbii, I ihall begin with the following Directions, and proceed regu- larly in the Defcription of what further concerns Mafonry. A Man defirous of becoming a Free Mafon, (hould endea- vour to get acquainted with a Member of foine good Lodge, who will propofe him as a Candidate for AdmiiTion the next Lodge-Night. The Brother who propofcs a New Member, is likewife obliged to inform the Brethren of the Qualifi- cations of the Candidate*. Upon this it ls'deh;ited whether or not he (hall be admitted; and it befn<^ arried in the Affirmative, the next Step is to go with tlic propoler the enfuing Lodge-Night. The Evening being come when a Lodge is to be held, which generally begins about Seven in the Winter, and Nine in the bummer, as previous Notices are fent to the Members for this Purpofe ; the Mafons are punftual to Time, and it frequently happens, that, in half an Hour, the whole Lodtjc, to the Number of Fifty or Sixty, are aflembled. The Mafter, the two Afliftants, Secretary, and Treai furer, begin with putting over their Necks a blue Ribbon of a triasgular Shape , to the Maftcr's Ribbon hangs a Rule and Compafs, which is in fome Lodges made of Goldj though in others only gilt : the Affiftants, Senior Wardens, and the other Officers, carry the Compafs alono; The Candles are placed upon the liable in the Form of a Triangle ; and in the beft Lodges the Candlefticks are f.nely carved with emblematical Figures. Every Brother has an Apron made of white Skin, and the Strings are alfo of Skin ; though fome of them chufe to ornament them with Ribbons * For the Good of this, and all oth«r Societies, it were to be wlfhrj a more Ari^ Regard was paid, on the Part of th» Propofers, to the Charac- ter aod Morali of every Caodidatc.

At the North there was no Entrance, becaufe the Rays of the Sun never dart from that Point.

The Twelve Fellow-Crafts who recantcl, hearing the Report, their Confciencesprickinff them, went to Solomon with white Aprons and (iloves, Emblems of their Innocence, and in- formed him of every Thing relative to the Affair, as far as they knew, and ottered their Affiftance in order to difcover tbe three other Fellow-Crafts who had abfconded. They fcparated, and divided thcmfelves into four Parties; three Kaft, Weft, North, and South, in Queft of the Murderers. As one of the Twelve was travelling on the Sca-fide, near Joppa^ being fatigued, he fat down to refrefti himfelf : but was foon alarmed bv the following hideous Exclamations from the Cliffy of a Rock: " Oh ! that my Throat had been cut " acrofs, my Tongue torn out by the Root, and buried in ** the Sands of the Sea at Low-water Mark, a Cable'sLength *' from the Shore, where the Tide ebbs and flows twice in ** Twentyrfour Hours, e'er I had confented to the Death of ** our Grand Mafter Hiram!" — " Oh !

And tell him you fliould be glad of Admittance as a vifiting Member; taking care to provide yourfclf with a white Leather Apron, which you may ftiew him as if by Ac- cident. He will, perhaps, afk you what Degree you are of, and defire a Sign, which you may fliew him with Readinefs, and jikewife inform him what Lodge you belong to. It being contrary to the Rules of the Society that the Tyler (hould admit a Stranger, he will go in, and acquaint the Mafter, that fuch a Perfon (mentioning your Name, and the Lodge you told him you belonged to) craves Admittance. Upon which one of the Wardens will come out to cxaminc you. Draw your Right Hand acrofs your Throat edgeways, and he will fay, ""What's that?"

I have a Breach, a huge wide Breach, Th?'. givcs me much Vexation, This if you ftop, you will o'crtop All Mafon's in the Nation. Then Ned arofe, r- ll'd off his Clothes, Drev,^ out his Lme and Level, He pi .'d his Plum beneath her Bum, And brought it to a Bevil ; He took his Gauge, his Nine-Inch Gauge, And plac'd it with a floping, He fix'd his Stones like Inigo Jones, And left no Cievice open. , Dear Ned, fays Kate, you've doite a Feat, A Feat of mighty Wonder, And as for me, you plainly fee, 1. fairly do knock under.
