Twenty-four sockets for candles of copper, tin, or gilded wood which can also be fixed on the cornice of the screens.
A large silky or wool curtain to cut across the enclosure at the height of the screen. Four crowns of chestnut wood, or frames of wire or tin, closed in the antique style, each carrying four or six candles which can form the chandeliers.
Four large candlesticks of three to four feet in height, each carrying a large white wax torch.
Several gilded branches or arms, flowered or enameled with screws, or several branches ready to be fixed where necessary on the uprights of the screens, suitable for forming a total of 81 lights with the crowns and the 4 large 7-branched candlesticks which will also be of gilded copper, gilded wood, or painted, flowered, or enameled tin.
A red and green cloth in suitable strips of fabric, trimmed with fine or imitation gold braid, with its matching backrest—its valances, its two drawn-back curtains with large gold tassels. The canopy will be mounted with four green and red plumes, and the valances of the curtains decorated at intervals with crosses of St. Andrew and crowns embroidered or painted in gold; on a crown, two swords in saltire at the bottom of the backrest.
The red velvet armchair raised on a dais of four steps, covered with a large green and red carpet.
A table which can, when necessary, hold on the dais, covered with a green velvet or silk carpet with gold foliage and tassels. Another larger table fixed to the right of the throne, covered with a similar or red carpet, and a green armchair in front.
Four broken columns of three feet high, solid, chipped, or at the capitals or bases, and bearing the imprint of ruins.
An iron chest of two feet in length, by eighteen inches wide and twelve in height, closing with six locks, double bottom inside with secret locks.
Four plates of gilded copper or tin, double the size of the round of a 6-livre coin.
An altar of gilded wood in the antique style, three feet high, to have the perfume cassette on its shelf.
A wooden block for execution/sacrifice painted black, contoured on the four faces, properly made, with a sacrificer's axe with a gilded handle. An apprentice board of three feet long, painted in oil, similar to those of the Master.
One or more floor carpets to cover the entire floor of the enclosure.
Two standards: one red and strewn with green crosses of St. Andrew, and the other green and strewn with red crosses of St. Andrew. On the reverse of the first, two swords embroidered in gold and in saltire with the legend: Pro Fide, Lege et Patria For Faith, Law, and Country. On the reverse of the second, a crown embroidered in gold supported on the crossbars of a cross of St. Andrew with the following legend: Virtus Fundus Nostrae Virtue is our Foundation.
A seal or copper signet, ancient, crowned like a helmet with a leafless pomegranate. In the center of said shield, a cross of St. Andrew or of Palestine, red borders surrounding the gules. Around the shield, the cord of the order. In the middle, a field of sable, two gold swords with silver hilts in saltire, at the corner of each the antique gold crown, closed. At the bottom of the cord, one must hang the attribute, and for legend: "College of St. Andrew of Scotland of [D?] 18.."
A stamp of this small size with the cipher of the legend.
A very simple plate, Greek-style borders, seeded with crosses of St. Andrew at the corners, the size of a quarter of a letter sheet for invitation letters, or certificates and patents, if one prefers them on parchment.
A piece of eighteen ells of green cord bordered with red for about twelve shoulder belts.
A similar one, narrower, for collars and the jewel of the buttonhole.
For the white leather aprons, mediocre size, square without bibs or linings, painted or embroidered in their contour with a garland of flowers or rockwork, and arbitrary ornaments, red and green cameos, a key intertwined in the said garland, the middle filled by a green and red X in gold. Above, at the upper part, a small square pocket garlanded with green, and in the middle a red triangle in gold.
The jewel for the buttonhole is a gold circle, cross enameled green, and a gold circle.
At the first... at the second... at the third... at the fourth... all the jewels of the collars crossed by axes.
