XV. The property of the said two Fraternities, whether freehold,

leasehold, funded, real, or personal, shall remain sacredly appropriate to the purposes for which it was created; it shall constitute one grand fund, by which the blessed object of masonic benevolence may be more extensively obtained. It shall either continue under the trusts in which, whether freehold, leasehold, or funded, the separate parts thereof now stand ; or it shall be in the power of the said United Grand Lodge, at any time hereafter, to add other names to the said trusts ; or, in case of the death of any one Trustee, to nominate and appoint others for perpetuating the security of the same ; and, in no event, and for no purpose, shall the said united property be diverted from its original purpose. It being understood and declared, that at any time after the Union, it shall be in the power of the Grand Lodge to incorporate the whole of the said property and funds in one and the same set of Trustees, who shall give bond to hold the same in the name and on the behalf of the United Fraternity. And it ib further agreed, that the Freemasons' Hall be the place in which the United Lodge shall be held, with such additions made thereto as the increased numbers of, the Fraternity, thus to be united, may require.
