I have shown how, among the polytheistic nations, there were a few persons who still had a dim and clouded understanding of these traditions, and that they taught them in certain secret institutions, known as the "Mysteries," thus establishing another branch of the speculative science which is known under the name of the Spurious Freemasonry of antiquity.
If you can forget the bitter words which clouded our peace at Dophkah and you say you have done so let us in future keep together like brothers and stand by each other in joy and grief, in need and peril.
