White Judaism, Alias Freemasonry.
WHITE JUDAISM , ALIAS FREEMASONRY .
" W KRE you troubled with much Judaism in these parts ? " ( Cordova , to wit . ) " Wooh ! nothing gives so much trouble to the Santa Casa as this same Judaism . Its shoots and ramifications are numerous , not only in these parts , but in all Spain ; and it is singular enough that even among the priesthood , instances of Judaism of both kinds were continually coming to our knowledge , which it was of course our duty to punish . "
" Is there more than one species of Judaism ? " I demanded . " I have always arranged Judaism under two heads , " said the old man , " the black and the white ; by the black I mean the observance of the law of Moses in preference to the precepts of the church ; then there is the white Judaism , which includes all kinds of heresy , such as Lutheranism , FREEMASONRY , and the like . —Plenty of Judaism among the priesthood , whether of the black or white species .

connect himself with such . Those , however , who are made Masons for the purpose of learning the secrets may deceive themselves , for they may be fifty years Masters of Chairs , and yet not learn the secrets of the Brotherhood . This secret is in its own nature invulnerable , for the Mason to whom it has become known can only have guessed it , and certainly not received it from any one : he has discovered it because he has been in the Lodge—markedlearnedand inwardldigested .
