To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In short they allow of no allusion to the New Testa- ment, nor to anything in the Old Testament after the book of Kings arid Chronicles, referring to the Temple of Solomon ; and there must be no anachronism. All after the building of the Temple, are topics that cannot be touched on until we arrive at the Royal Order of H. R. D. M. ; and therefore it is not en regie to refer to the chief corner stone till the appearance of a Christian degree. Faith, Hope, and Charity have no business in the lect...ures of the Blue degrees ; unless, indeed, we are to abandon our claims to antiquity, and admit that Freemasonry is a fabrication, invented at some recent period subsequently to the crucifixion of Christ. " It will be observed, however, that Christian allusions abound in the lectures of masonry long before Dr. Hem- ming remodelled them in 1814. They exist copiously in the very earliest masonic manuscripts known ; which Mr. Halliwell pronounces to be a production of the 14th century; while others consider them to be coeval with the time of Athelstone.
