This essay appeared in New York in 1818 with a preface marksandspencers and an anonymous quotations here: "This essay is a chapter of Part III of" The Age of Reason "as you will see in the period related to the previous post, as well as the first part of the work. Here are selected paragraphs from Mr. Paine's work, and she Bonneville, the executor of Mr. Paine, published into several parts. These procedures involve Christian that she has avoided elimination for the bias works against marksandspencers bigotry. However, this period has also been restored according to the original manuscript written by hand, except for some lines have not read anymore. " She Bonneville announced this in New York in 1810 (with the seat cut as I said) into a thin book - Robinet said Dr. Paine is wrong that a member marksandspencers of the Masons, and a member list Brotherhood marksandspencers of the language that in London, said George Briggs, after reading this essay because I gave, told me that "the legend, commentary and general outline marksandspencers of him is pretty honest." In Paris, Paine travel very intimate with Nicolas de Bonneville and Charles - François Dupuis, who wrote a lot of research on Freemasonry, is the most complete explanation of his concerns on topics This [MD Conway marksandspencers 1896]. marksandspencers It is thought that the Masons have a secret that they are hiding, but anything marksandspencers can be obtained from their interpretation of Freemasonry, the real secret they do not have What are the source of it, but only few people know, while these people keep trap shut tight. Masons who were divided into three classes or three levels. The first is the set of Registration, Membership Secondly Official; Thirdly masters. The only people who know little about the Society for the use of symbols and signs, along with a number of actions, a number of terms for members recognize each other, but they can not be known. Official members will not be told how much more than the collective members. Even when the senior members of the Association, any remaining details about its origin must also remain confidential. 1730, Samuel Pritchard, a founding member of the British Association published a treatise entitled The Divided Freemasonry, and had sworn before the mayor of London that it really is only one copy only. "Samuel Pritchard oath that the copy attached hereto is a true copy, genuine in every detail of it." In his work he has put out a series of questions and answers about the collective members, official members and senior members. There is no difficulty in this task, because it just might wake. In his introduction, he said "the primary basis of Freemasonry including the scientific background and the liberal arts, but more especially in geometry, because of construction Tower of Babel, art and secrets of Freemasonry have been included in the first, then passed through Euclid [the Greeks], marksandspencers one of the outstanding mathematicians of Egypt; he passed it on to Hiram, marksandspencers a masters Masonic Temple building involves Salomon in Jerusalem marksandspencers ". Aside from the absurdity of the story of Masonic lineage from building the tower of Babel, where according to the stories of the chaos of language has hindered the construction of understanding each other, so that the knowledge transfer it is also chaotic, contained an apparent contradiction of dating that he made. Salomon marksandspencers temple was built and completed in 1004 years before the Christian era, and Euclid, as everyone knows life is only a starting point before that era 277 years. So how Euclid marksandspencers can transmit anything to Hiram, since he lived until 700 years later after Hiram. 1783, Captain George Smith, inspector of the Royal Academy of Artillery at Woolwich, England and Great masters of Freemasonry Kent counties have published a treatise entitled Use and Abuse of Freemasonry .
