“In order such that your table in lexicon my be ammended, Grand Master, such as your title does speech in reflection own; A A Argenteum Astrum. Were Jesus Christ to be here today, in full sight and hearing, England, Great Britain, Scotland, Wales; were unfortunate tidings in tide, tithe, or structure be needs spoken. At first, as though in a voice as God in all love of God's first born, speak in speech gently wisely softly spoken. Although in the time of Jesus Christ giving to charity in public was frowned upon, we note that Freemasonry as a society gives generously all year round in secret, and only gives in the public eye when their fear is such that they may have caused offence. Whilst 'Scientology (Church of)' may translate to '20,000 given generously to a good cause in manner of Christ', make no mistake in translation, may in repeat as spoken first, second, third. Scientology. Dianetics. Church of Scientology. Wisdom.”
