It Avas a law in this lodge , and he thought a very salutary one , that the sum should not exceed ten guineas , as some brother Avould subscribe a certain amount which others could not afford , but at the same time , from feelings of delicacy , felt they could scarcely do otherwise ; he should therefore propose that the highest ;

amount alloAved by the bye-hnvs , namely , ten guineas , be voted to Bro . Jones for his indefatigable exertions as the first Master of this happy and prosperous lodge . Bro . Chamberlain , J .

The lodge ivas then closed in solemn prayer .
