that Free of Freemason is from two words . These words were written in Saxon , and it appears the type-founder did not supply the office with the required letter in time , so at the last moment the printer Englishified the goddess Friga into Frke and Frig into Friz . At p . 263 , col . 2 , it says Friga Masons worked with their hands . The copy was " Friga Masons worked with their heads and not with their hands . " }
