Overview

Excerpt from A Library of Freemasonry, Vol. 3: Comprising Its History, Antiquities, Symbols, Constitutions, Customs, Etc;, And Concordant Orders of Royal Arch, Knights Templar, A. A. S. Rite, Mystic Shrine Taylor rightly lays down that, when historical facts, which in their nature are fairly open to direct proof, are called in question, there is no species of trifling more irksome (to those who have no dishonest ends to serve) that the halting upon twenty indirect argu ments, while the centre proof - that which clear and upright minds fasten upon intuitively - remains undisposed of. Now, it must be freely conceded, that however strongly the balance of probability may appear to incline against the reception of Sir Christopher Wren, at any time of his life, into the Masonic fraternity, the question after all must remain an open one, as even his dying declaration to the contrary, were such extant, might be held insufficient to clearly establish this negative proposition.' Though until assertion is converted into proof, and that proof found to destroy the authenticity of the objections raised by me to the current belief, I shall rest content that the latter must, by every rule of good sense and right reason, and infallibly will, be regarded as adequate evidence by every competent judge.
