it with what he choofes, and as often as he pleafes. But
he muft drink his Glafs in Turn, or at leaft keep the Motion
with the Reft. When therefore a public Health is given,
the Mafter fills firft, and defires the Biehics to charge their
Glaffes; and when this is fuppofed to be done, the Mafter
fays, Brethren, are you all charged? The-Senior and Junior
Wardens anfwer, We are all charged in the South and Weft.
Then they all ftand up, and-obferving the Mafter’s Motion,
(like the Xoldier his Right Hand Man) drink their Glaffes
off; and if the Mafter propofes the Health or Toaft with
three Times Three pe they throw the Glaffes with the
Right Hand at full Length, bringing them acrofs their
Throats three Times, and making three Motions to put
them down onthe Table; at the third they are fet down,
(though perhaps ae in Number) as if it was but one: then
raifing their Hands Breaft high, they clap nine ‘Times againtt
the Right, divided into three Divifions, which is termed
Drinking with three Times three, and at tue End they give a
Huzza.
Having at length gone through my Plan, I have nothing
further to add than this, that the following is the beft Method
for a Stranger to gain Admittance, being what I have often
tried in many Places, in order to be fully fatisfied.
As foon as you come to the Door of the Lodge, you will
find the Tyler on the Outfide, with a drawn Sword in his
Hand, anda white Apronon. Afk him if there is a full
Lodge ? And tell him you fhould be glad of Admittance as a
vifiting Member; taking care to provide yourfelf with a
white eatict Apron, which you may fhew him as if by Ac-
cident. He will, perhaps, ‘afk you what Degree you are of,
_ and defire a Sign, which you may fhew him with Readinefs,
and likewife inform him what Lodge you belong to.
It being contrary to the Rules of the Society that the
Tyler fhould 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 examine
you, Draw your Right Hand acrofs your Throat edgeways,
and he will fay, “* What's that?” Your Anfwer muft be
“© The due Guard of an Apprentice.” Then he will take
you by the firft Joint of the ‘Thumb of your Right Band,
and prefs it hard with the Thumb-Nail of the Right Hand,
and afk, ** What's this ?”—-You muft immediately anfwer,
“ The Grip of an Entered Apprentice.”—If he is not fully
fatishied with this, he will go further on in this Manner,
Quef. Has it gota Name ?—You mutt an{wer, “ It has.”
Then he will afk you to give it him.

What I have here offered being more than fufficient, you
will ke admitted, and you muft put your Apron on, and
take your Seat. If there fhould be a making that Night,
you will be perfect in the firft Principles, and know more than
one in ten who have been Mafons many Y cars, and have never
read this Book.
Ifyou fhould, after this, chufe to go toa Lodge of Matters,
the Ceremony is the fame as above; but you are interrogated
as to the Grip, Pafs-Grip, and Word. of ‘a Mafter, which
you cannet -fail of aniwering by reading the Matfter’s Part
before mentioned. In all this you muft take care not to be-
tray any Fear, but put on an Air of Aff ce.
The Ceremony obferved at the Free-Mafon, Funerals, according
to ancient Cuftom,
No Mafon can be interred with the Formalities of the
Order, unlefs by his own s{pecial Requeft, communicated
to the Matter of the Lodge of which he died a Member: nor
unilefs he had been advanced to the third Degree of Mafonry.
The Matter of the Lodge, on receiving intelligence of his
eath, and being made acquainted with the Day and Hour
appointed for his Funeral, is to iffue his Commands for fum-
moning the Lodge ; and immediately to make Application, by
the Grand Secretary, to the Deputy Grand Matter, fara legal
Power and Authority to attend the Proceffion, with his Officers
and fuch Brethren as he may. approye of, properly clothed.
The Difpenfation being obtained, the Mafter may invite
as many Lodges as he thinks proper, and the Members of the
faid Lodges may accompany their Officers in Form ; but the
whole Ceremony mutt be under the Direétion of the Mafter
of the Lodge to which the Deceafed beionged; and he, and
his Officers, muft be duly honoured and chearfully obeyed o1
the Occafion.

All the Brethren, who walk in Proceffion, fhould obferve,

Mourning, with white Stockings, Gloves, and Aprons, is

ecsia with a Jewel, unlefs‘he is an Officer of one of the
sodges invited to attend in Form, and the Officers of fuch
Lodges fhould be ornamented with White Sathes and Hat-
bands ; as alfo the Officers of the Lodge to whom the Dif-

One or two Lodges march, before the Proceffion begins, to

fary Preparations. ‘T he Brethren are on no Account to defert
their Ranks: change .eir Places, but keep in their different
Depari :nts. ¥. en the Proceffion arrives at the Gate of
the Church-yar ~ie Lodge to which the deceafed Brother be-

Met : vers of the different Lodges have formed a perfect Circle

Head ofthe Grave; with the Chorifters on each Side, and the
Mourners at the Foot, the Service is rehearfed, an Anthem
fung, and that particular Part of the Ceremony is conclud-
ed with the ufual Forms, In returning from the Funeral,
the fame Order of Proceffion is to be obferved.,
This is the whole of Mafonry in all its Branches; and I
defy any Mafon to prove the contrary, being ready ¢o anfwer
any Queftion propofed, which muft be carefully fealed up, '
and direéted for R. S, to be left with my Publifher, mention-

None act more upright Parts,

While Oaks ftretch o’er the Plain:
Let others quarrel, rant, and roar :
Their noify Revels when no more,
Still Mafonry fhall reign.

May they our Rules purfue :
Then drink Succefs and Health to ali

KATE ann NED,
OE Night as Ned crept into Bed,
Beyond his ufual Hour,
His loving Kate, his conftant Mate,
Began to feold and low’r.
You naughtv Man where have yor been,
No longer I'll be flighted,
Nor thus at Home will mope and moan,
While you’r abroae delighted ?
T own, ue.r Kate, ’tis fomewhat late,
But hear me out with Patience,
- . All Wives you know, are bound to fhew
} Their Hufbands dae Obeifance ;
In Truth, dear Kate, ’tis fome what late,
But put a filing Face on,
For I, this Night, am made a bright,
Free and accepted Mafon. -
If this be fo, I pray now fhow
Some certain Sign or Token,
For Mafons can ereét a Plan,
Or ftop a Breach that’s open.
Ihave a Breach, a huge wide Breach,
The gives me much Vexation,
This if you ftop, you will o’ertop
All Mafon’s in the Nation.
Then Ned arofe, rull’d off his Clothes,
Drew, out his Line and Level,
He p! ’’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 Crevice open,
Dear Ned, fays Kate, you’ve done a Feat,
A Feat of mighty Wonder,
And as for me, you plainly fee,
I, fairly do knock under.
I'd pawn my Gown, my Robe and Coat,
My Cardinal with Lace on,
hy If you each Night would be a bright,
ree and accepted Mafon.
