Q: — By what is a Scottish brother of St. Andrew particularly known? — until the closing.
A: — By these four questions and answers to which, when one tests a brother knight, one adds the decomposition of the letters; a perfect Architect Grand Scottish Knight makes himself known. The grades specify no others, and this catechism, which is often only one more trap for discretion, is limited here to these main points.
Nothing changes name. The College is not considered closed; on the contrary, it continues from the labors and the Founding Master starts in action with a single blow and a single word.
At the 1st movement, one carries the goblet to the height of the right shoulder.
At the 2nd — to the right shoulder.
At the 3rd — to the left hip.
At the 4th — to the left shoulder.
At the 5th — to the right hip.
At the 6th — forward, height of the right shoulder.
At the 7th — to the right shoulder, supported.
At the 8th — forward and one drinks.
At the 9th — one places it on the table.
This always forms the square and the cross of St. Andrew.
The toasts are given in the following manner:
1st — That of the Government.
2nd — That of the Grand Master of the Order.
3rd — That of the founding College.
4th — That of the Knight of Palestine.
5th — That of the Founding Master.
6th — That of the officers of the College.
7th — That of the newly received.
8th — That of all the Scots of St. Andrew and the corresponding Colleges.
9th — That of all the Masters of Obedience and of all the masons.
Each person gives thanks in their own individual way.

Eight or ten light screens, assembled with keys, with which one can form an enclosure in any given place. These screens must be six or seven feet high and covered by compartments with panels of red fabric and an equal number of green, or in damask paper, for the sake of economy.
Six pyramids of gilded wood, six antique gilded vases, six pomegranate fruits with leaves and opened for the ornament of the cornice of the enclosure, with what is necessary to fix them on top.
Twenty-four masonic trophies and crosses of St. Andrew in ribbon or braid to apply onto the panels.
