GOOD--is fully described by the
subjoined numbers, the signification of which is annexed:
No. 1 signifies Bold.
" 2 " Intrepid.
No. 3 signifies Artful.
" 4 " Undaunted.
" 5 " Cunning.
" 6 " Active.
" 7 " Assiduous.
" 8 " Temperate.
" 9 " A true Brother, without cultivation--meaning one who,
from infancy, has had sufficient strength of mind to carry out his
principles. This number is considered highly honourable to the Brother
bearing it, who is said to have the same conferred upon him by the God
of Nature.
Second: CAUGH--a flash word, signifying BAD--is also described as
follows:
No. 1 signifies Treacherous.
" 2 " Ungrateful.
" 3 " Presumptuous.
" 4 " Meddlesome.
" 5 " Quarrelsome.
" 6 " Impudent.
" 7 " Imprudent.
" 8 " Dilatory.
" 9 " Intemperate.
This last number is one which will prohibit whoever is entitled to it,
from holding the high and honourable office of Grand Master; and whoever
is known to sell or give intoxicating liquors to a Brother, for the
purpose of making him subserve to his avaricious purpose, shall be
highly censured, and made to pay over double the amount which the victim
has lost. If a Brother sees proper to distil, or vend intoxicating
spirits, and at the same time notifies the Brethren, when they call on
him, that he does not make and sell the same for any other purpose than
to prostrate the minds of the tyrannical priestcraft, and their victims,
he shall be sustained in his noble enterprise.

therefore, each number has a double meaning.
No. 1 signifies the person to be Large and Tall.
" 2 " " Low and Heavy.
" 3 " " Tall and Slender.
" 4 " " Medium.
" 5 " " Small.
" 6 " " Sandy Complexion.
" 7 " " Light Complexion.
" 8 " " Dark Complexion,
" 9 " " Coloured.
A person of the last-named colour is never to be admitted, unless as an
outlaw, who is to be used by the Worthy Grand, and who is to be so
educated that he will not dare to commit any daring act, without
permission from the Worthy Grand; and it shall be highly reprehensible
in any Brother to converse with any
