Legend of a degree
The practical test of a neophyte in the previous degree turns to this extent into a detailed examination for knowledge of the duties to the Masonic order and the laws of the Order of 5 brothers. When teaching a neophyte, the statements of the sages and legislators of Freemasonry are given. This degree teaches us to establish firm laws of impartial justice, taking into account the frailty and imperfection of human nature, to forgive them if there is hope for correction. This degree teaches us that each person deserves the advantage conferred by the presumption of innocence and purity of intent. Anyone who commits himself to judge others must first judge himself [5] [6] .
