Irish Freemasonry, indeed Freemasonry as a whole, is transparent, with the only intent of
making "Good men better" we only lead by example, hoping others will follow and enjoy our
Fraternity.
Freemasonry in Ireland is much older than the founding of our Grand Lodge in 1725, In
1830, in Limerick, they found on Balls-bridge a small square dated 1507, with the
inscription,
"I will serve to live with love and care, Upon the level, by the square."
A simple concise sentence, with the essence of Freemasonry in those 15 words, 500+ years
later, and the words are as true today as they were when the Brother inscribed them, they
will continue to inspire Masons for another 500 years, to think the whole ethos of the
Masonic fraternity is captured in those words from the past.
See page 9, for the original letter to the editor of the Freemasons Quarterly reporting the
find in their Summer 1842 edition, including a drawing of both sides of the square.
