A MA80N is obliged, by bis tenure, to obey the moral
law; and iChe rightly understand the art he will never
be a 8t.ui>id atheist nor an irreligious libertine. He of
all men, should best understand that God seeth not as
man^seetli ; formanlooketh at the outward appearance,
but GOD looketh tothe heart. A mason is, therefor^
particularly bound never to act against the dictates of
his conscience. Let a man's religion or mode of wowhip
be what It may, he is not excluded from the order^
provided he believean the glorious architect of heaven'
and e^rth, apd practise the sacred duties of morality

n— 0/ the CIVIL MAGISTRATE,' SUPREME and
SUBQttDINATE* -^
A MASON is a peaceable subject to the civil powers
/ wherever he resides or works, and is never to be con-
cerned in plots and conspiracies against the petivee and
welfare of the nation, nor to behave himself undutifully
- to inferior magistrates. He is cheerfully to; conform
to every lawful authority ; to uphold, on every occasion,
'the interest of the>coramunity, and zealously promote
th^ prosperity of his own country. Masonry has' ever
flourished in times of peace and been always injured by
war, bloodshed, and confusion; so that kings and
princes, in every age, have been much disposed to
encourage the craftsmen on account of their peaceable-
aess and loyalty, whereby they practically answer the
cavils of their adversaries and pi'bmote the honour of
the fraternity. Craftsmen are bound by peculiar ties
' ^lo promote peace, cultivate harmony, and live in con-
cord and brotherly love. ' '. -.

either general or pulicular, as will be best understood
by attending it, ancfitiere a knowledge of the establish-
ed usages and customs of the craft is alone to be '
acquired. From antient tinaes no master or felfow could
' be absent from his lodge, especially when warned to
npj)€ar at it, without incurring a severe cenjiure, unless it
appeared to the master and wardens that pare necessity
hindered htm.

All preferment ainong masons is grounded upon real
worth and persojial merit only^ that so the lords may
be well served, the brelhren not put to phame, nor the
royal craft despised : therefore no master or warden is '
chosen Sysonibrity, but for his merit It is impossible ^^
to describe these things in writing, and therefore every
brother must attend in his place, and learn them in a
way. peculiar to this fraternity. Candidates may,
neverthless, know, , that ' no master should take an
apprentice, unless he has sufficient employment for
him ; and, unless he be a perfect you^th, having ^o
maim or defect in his body, that may render him inca-

while the lodge is leng^ed in what is serious and

our laudable purposes. Therefore no private piques or

far less any quarrels about religion, or nations, or state
policy, we being only, m masons, of t|)e universal

<3i*ffu?e the general principles of the art; and, for the
corivcniency 6|^-^*UI*%esj><^^ dwellings and otli^rgood
reasons, we are desirous of for mi ng a new Lod/ro, to bo
named l , In consequence of
this d^ii|i, wo pray for a Warranf^of Constitution,
erapovvering us to meet as a regular Lodge, at
on the df evcry^^^
month, and there to discharge the duties' of MasonryJ^f
in a constitutional manner, aecording to the forms of
the Order and the laws of the Grand Lodge; and we
have nominated and do recommend Brother [A. B.] to
be the First Master, Brother [C. !».] to be the First
Senior Warden, and Brother [E. F,] to be the First
Junior Warden, of ihe said Lodge. The prayer of ti^is
petition being granted, we promise strict obedience to
the commands of the Grand Master and the laws and
regulations of the Grand Lodge."
In order to avoid irregularities, every new Lodge
should be solemnly constituted by the Grand Master,
with his Deputy and Wardens ; or, in the absence of
the Grand Master, by his Deputy, who shall choose
some Master of a Lodge to assist him. If the Deputy
be absent, the Grand Master may appoint somer other
Grand OflScer or Master of a Lodge to act as a Deputy
pro tempoife*
The following is the manner of constituting a new
I^ge, acciwdttrg to the antient usages of Masons.
A Lodge is duly formed ; and, after prayer, an ode
in honour of Masonry is sung. The Grand Master is
then informed, by the Secretary, that the Brethren
present desire to be formed into a new Lodge, &c., <fec.
llio petition, the dispensation, and the Warrant or
77
Clmrtor of Constitution, arc now rc-id. TliO mimitc3 of
tlie Lo<lge, while iiri(l<itdisi)on5ati(>n, are likewise read :-
and, boiiig .-ipprovod, are doclnred rogulur and valid,
and signed by the Grand Master. The Grand Mjister
then inquires if tlio Brethren approve of the officers
who are nominated in the Warrant to preside over,
them. Tliis being signified in Masonic form, an oration
on the nature and design of the institution is delivered.
The Lodge is then consecrated, according to ceremonies
proper and usual on those occasions, but not proper to
be written, and the Grand Master constitutes the Lodge
in antient form.
The new Master and Wardens, being yet among the
Brethren, thtf Grand Master asks-his Deputy if heliath
examined them, und found the candidate Master well
skilled in the noble science, and duly instructed in our .
mysteries, ,(^50. TUo Deputy answering in the affirraa-
tiv6„he shall (by the Grand Master's ord^r) preseni
lirm to the Grand Master ; saying, « Most Worshipful
Grand Master, I present thisuny worthy Brother to bo
installed Master of the Lodge, whom I know to be of
good morals and great .skill, true and trusty, and a
lover of the whole fraternity wheresoever dispersed over
the face of the earth."
Then the Grand Master, placing the candidate on his
left iiand, and having asked and obtained the unani-
mous c«jBsent of all the Brethren, shall say : " I appoint
you the Muster of this Lodge, not doubting your capa-
city and care to preserve the cement of tlje Lodge," &c. '
with some other expressions that are proper and usual
c a that occasion, buf not to be written. /
'.!• y-v ■••;•-■<»
( I
' / -x
/■■■■:,:• ■■■ ; - ■■ t8 ; ■■■■■. ;:
Upon this, the Deputy shall rehearse tho charges
and regulations of a Master, and the Grand Master
-shall ask the candidate,— "Do yoa submit to these
charges, and promise to uphold these regulations, as
Masters have done in all ages T The.candidate signi-
fy mg. his submission thereuTito, the Grand Master shall
install him, j^l present him'with the Warrant of Con-
stitution, the Lodge-Book, and t^nstruments of his-
office, one after another; and, after each of them, the
Grand Master, or his Deputy, shall deliver the charge
that is suitable.
After this, the Members of this new Lodge, bowing
all together to the Grand Master, shall return him
thanks, and immediately do their homacfe to their new
Master, and signify their promise of sitbjection and
obedience to him, by the us-Ual congratulation.
The Deputy and the Grand Wardens, and any ot
Brethren present, that are not Members of thd
Lodge, shall next congratulate the new Master ;'^n-we
shall return his becoming acltnowledgments to the
Grand Master first, and to the rest in their order. .
Then the Grand Master desires th«>«tiew Master to
enter immediately upon the exercise of his office, in
chposing his Wardens ; and the new Master, callinr.
