B t b t pl i a t p i t L.

59
Q

What did you then discover?

The Worshipful Master approaching me from the East, upn t s and under the due-guard and sign of an Entered Apprentice, who in token of his brotherly love and favor presented me with his right hand, and with it the grip and word of an Entered Apprentice, a b m a a s t W a s.

60
Q

After saluting the Wardens, what did you then discover?

A

The Worshipful Master approaching me from the East a second time, who presented me with the lambskin of woven leather apron, a i m tt i w a e o i a t b o a M, more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, more honorable than the Star or Garter or any other order that could be conferred unto me a tt t o a a f p by king prince, potentate, or any other person, except he be a Mason, a w h h I w w w e plsr t m a h t t f; a b m c i t t SW i t W, w t m h t w i a a EA.

61
Q

After being taught to wear your apron as an Entered Apprentice, what were you then informed?

A

That agreeably to an ancient custom in every regulated and well governed Lodge, it was necessary that I should be requested to deposit something of a metallic kind, not from its intrinsic way or valuation, but that it might be laid up among the records in the archives of the Lodge, as a memorial that I was therin made a Mason. But upon strict examination I found myself entirely destitute.

62
Q

How were you then disposed of?

A

I was ordered to be returned to the place whence I came, to be reinvested of what I had been divested, and returned to the Lodge for further instructions.

63
Q

On your return to the Lodge, where were you placed as the youngest Entered Apprentice?

A

In the northeast corner, my feet forming the right angle of an oblong square, my body erect to the Worshipful Master in the East, w w pl to say that I thr s a j an upright Man, and given it me strictly in charge ever to walk a a a such.

64
Q

What did the Worshipful Master then present you with?

A

The working tools of an Entered Apprentice, and their meaning to us.

65
Q

What are the working tools of an Entered Apprentice?

A

The twenty-four inch gauge and the common gavel.

66
Q

What are the uses?

A

The twenty-four inch gauge is an instrument made use of by operative Masons, to measure and lay out their work; but we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of it for the more noble and glorious purpose of dividing our time. It being divided into twenty-four equal parts, is emblematical of the twenty-four hours of the day, which we are tight to divide into equal parts, wherby we find eight hours for the service of God and distressed worthy brother, eight hours for our usual vocation, and eight for refreshment and sleep.
The common gavel is an instrument made use of by operative Masons, to break off the corners of rough stones, the better to fit them for the builders use; but we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of it for more noble and glorious purpose of divesting our minds and consciences of all the vices and superfluities of life, thereby fitting o b as living stones, for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
