All preferment ameng Masons is grounded upon real Worth and personal merit only; that so the lords may be well served, the brethren not put to Shame, nor the Royal Craft despised. Therefore no Master or warden is chosen by seniority; but for his merit. It IS impossible to describe these things In writing, and every brother must attend in his place, and learn them In a way peculiar to this Frater nity. Only candidates may know, that no Master Should take' an Apprentice, unless he has sufiieient employment for him, and unless he be a perfect youth, having no or defect in his body, that may render him incapable of learning the art of serving his Master's Lord, arid of being fmade a brother, and then a Fellow Craft in due time, even after he has, served such a term of years as. The custom of the country directs; and that he should be descended of honest parents; that so, when otherwise qualified, he may arrive to the honor of being the Warden, and then the Master of the Lodge, the Grand Warden, and at length the Grand Master of all the Lodges, according to his merit.
