Four Times Respectable College of Saint Andrew of Scotland

At the bottom of the enclosure, on the floorboards to the right and left, will be the app: Apprentice, comp: Companion, and m^e: Master charts. Between the two there must be a block with a prepared axe. The officers are all seated, as are the members; they are all dressed uniformly in a red overcoat with green collar and cuffs, or a green overcoat with red vest and breeches, with the distinctive ornaments of their offices as marked in article 21 of the Regulations. The Inspector will be at the end of the enclosure opposite the table of the Gr: M:^e Grand Master, at the center on the left; the Master of Ceremonies at the center on the right; the four other officers will be placed diagonally in opposition, each in a crossing, and each with a mallet in hand. It is understood that there can be a chapel in the assembly houses of the college or at least a nearby church so that the work sessions always begin with prayers and the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice. True masonry having as its goal the worship of the Eternal, as its motive the object of Religion, and as its determination the inviolable attachment to the Holiness of its Mysteries, practices which exclude no Religion nor Christian sect from the administration of these degrees, given that for a sensible man any place destined for prayer is holy and venerable; the doors are firms and surfaces to which reason adheres more when the heart is in agreement with the truth of the principle. The hall of the Serene Grand Master must be preceded by 3 preparation rooms. The 1st, intended for the app: Apprentice class, is hung with black cloth with a red cross in the middle on a Bible placed on a cushion surrounded by three large lights; in front, a rough stone. The 2nd, intended for the Comp: Companion, is lit only by a transparent sun; in the middle of said room is a pointed cubic stone with a mallet and chisel. The 3rd, which is for the Mastery, is lit by a blazing star in the middle of which shines the letter G. In this room there are only the simulacra of a tomb.
