The Revelations Of A Square.
" During the same year , if my memory be faithful , a Brother was introduced into our Lodge , whose name was Coustos . He was a foreigner , and not wanting in assurance . A great sensation , however , was created , when he exhibited some scars which betokened very severe wounds that had been inflicted , as he affirmed , by torture in the Inquisition ,
at Lisbon , to extort from him the secrets of Freemasonry . It appeared b y his own account , that he had resisted both persuasion and force ; ancl that his final escape out of their hands was owing to the interposition ofthe British Consul . Subscriptions were entered into in order to enable the sufferer to publish his account of the whole affair , which accordingl y came out in the following year , and put a considerable sum of money into his pocket .
