tive Grand Lodges, the two Grand Masters shall appoint, each, nine worthy and expert Master Masons, or Past Masters, of their respec- tive Fraternities, with warrant and instructions to meet together at some convenient central place in London ; when, each party having opened (in a separate apartment) a just and perfect Lodge, agreeably to their peculiar regulations, they shall give and receive mutually and reciprocally the obligations of both Fraternities, deciding by lot which shall take priority in giving and receiving the same ; and,' being thus all duly and equally enlightened in both forms, they shall be em powered and directed, either to hold a Lodge under the warrant or dispensation to be entrusted to them, to be entitled "The LODGE of RECONCILIATION ;" or to visit the several Lodges holding undei both the Grand Lodges for the purpose of obligating, instructing, and perfecting the Master, Past Masters, Wardens, and Members, in both the forms, and to make a return to the Grand Secretaries of both the Grand Lodges of the names of those whom they shall have thus enlightened. And the said Grand Secretaries shall be em- powered to enrol 1he names of all the members thus re-made in the register of both the Grand Lodges, without fee or reward : it being ordered, that no person shall be thus obligated and registered whom the Master and Wardens of his Lodge shall not certify, by writing under their hands, that he is free on the books of his particular Lodge. Thus, on the day of the Assembly of both Fraternities, the Grand Officers, Masters, Past Masters, and Wardens, who are alone to be present, shall all have taken the obligation by which each is bound, and be prepared to make their solemn engagement, that they will thereafter abide by that which shall be recognized and declared to be the true and universally accepted obligation of the Master Mason.
