Scottish Mason of Prussia, or the Knight of Saint Andrew

The 5th sign is foot against foot.

The 6th sign is the left hand behind the back.

The 7th is the word, which is Jehova Jehovah.

The Candidate goes to communicate all of these to all the brothers of the Lodge. Afterward, the brother Orator pronounces the following speech.

"My brothers, the Scottish order with which you have just been decorated is, without contradiction, the most illustrious and one of the oldest of those that exist on the face of the Earth. It was established in the time of James Stuart, King of Scotland, who was elected Grand Master of the Lodge of Kilwinning original: "Kilvinneis" in the west of Scotland, in the year 1290. After the death of Alexander III, King of Scotland, before Baliol ascended the Throne, this Scottish Lord received in his Lodge in Edinburgh the Earls of Gloucester and Orestel, English and Irish Lords. I will not stop to recount to you the events that gave rise to its establishment. I will content myself by saying in a few words that the word of the Master having been lost, as you know, through the death of our Respected Master Hiram, Grand Architect of Solomon's Temple, while he was making his rounds, and this word having been preserved in the Mastery for several centuries, it was noticed that it was

not the true one. This occasioned several journeys and many researches that were useless until the time of the wars in Palestine, when the Scottish knights united with the knights of St. John of Jerusalem, whose name the ordinary Lodges bear. While working together on the restoration of the Temple of the Christians of this Holy City, they were ecstatic when they managed to move the foundations of the ancient Temple. They found there 3 round stones and 3 cubic stones buried, and there was a J. engraved on the bottom one, which signifies Jehova Jehovah, which was the true word of the Master. It also signifies Jacques-tou Jacob-tou a phonetic reference often used in older Masonic catechisms for "Jachin"; this pronunciation was a mark of the Jews' respect for the Divinity, as they dared only very rarely to pronounce the former and usually only used the latter. They found in the Holy of Holies 3 plates of fine gold, and under the bottom one was engraved a large G, which signifies Geometry.

These 3 plates were placed on 4 pieces of a bronze Column, each piece the length of a cubit, and it is from there that we have taken our touch. These columns form a cross similar to that of St. Andrew, patron of the Scots, whose feast we celebrate every year on November 30. The Scottish knights took this precious Monument to Scotland. They established sanctuaries there that they named the Lodge of St. Andrew."
