L1Square
Are the Plumb, the Squar~, and the Level.
“The Plumb is an instrument made use of by operative
masons to raise perpendiculars; the Square, to square
their work; and the Level, to lay horizontals;but we, as
Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of
them for more noble and glorious purposes; the plumb
admonishes us to walk uprightly in our several stations
before God and men, squaring our actions by the square
of ;irtue, and remembering that we are traveling upon
the level of time to that undiscovered country from
who.. ‘hourne no traveler ‘-eturna.”-Mackey’s Bit.p. 78.
