    481 - How may a Lodge guard itself against *[IMPOST]ORS*? http://www.freemason.com/library/defned16.htm

    *[IMPOST]ors* in Masonry may be either profanes who, never
    having been initiated, yet endeavor to pass themselves for regular
    Freemasons, or Masons who, having been expelled or suspended from the
    Order, seek to conceal the fact and still claim the privileges of
    members in good standing. The false pretensions of the former class
    are easily detected, because their real ignorance must after a proper
    trial become apparent. The latter class, having once been invested
    with the proper instructions, can stand the test of an examination;
    and their true position must be discovered only by information derived
    from the Lodges which have suspended or expelled them. The Tiler's
    oath is intended to meet each of these cases, because it requires
    every strange visitor to declare that he has been lawfully initiated,
    and that he is in good standing. But perjury added to [IMPOST]ure will
    gasily escape this test. Hence the necessity for the utmost caution,
    and therefore the Charges of 1722 say, "You are cautiously to examine
    a strange brother in such a method as prudence shall direct you, that
    you may not be imposed on by an ignorant, false pretender, whom you
    are to reject with contempt and derision, and beware of giving him
    any hints of knowledge." The Masonic rule is, that it is better
    that ninety and nine true brethren be rejected than
    that one *[IMPOST]or* be admitted. ..........................................................
    482 - What race performed the more humble labors
    ______ in the erection of the Temple?

    *[IMPOST]S*. According to Masonic tradition the members of the secret
    society of {Tyrian} artists, who were hired by King Solomon to erect
    that sacred structure, in order to distinguish them from the Jews,
    who performed the more humble labors, were honored with the
    epithet of Free annexed to the name of builder or *MASON* ;
    and being talented foreigners, were freed from the usual
    *[IMPOST]s* paid to the state by the subjects of Solomon. --------------------------------------------------------

    ____ All's Well That Ends Well Act 2, Scene 1

    HELENA: I am not (AN [IMPOST])or that proclaim

    . But know I think and think I know most sure
    . My art is not past power nor you past cure. ------------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Plays

    <<The Book of Plays (The Bocke of Plaies and Notes therof p formans for Common Pollicie) is a section of a manuscript by the London astrologer {SIMON FORMAN} that records his descriptions of four plays he attended in 1610-11 and the morals he drew from
    them. The document is noteworthy for being the *only preserved eyewitness accounts of Shakespeare’s plays on the professional stage during his lifetime*: Macbeth at the Globe Theatre on 20 April 1610; The Winter's Tale at the Globe on 15 May 1611; and
    Cymbeline, date and theatre not specified. The fourth play described by Forman is a Richard II acted at the Globe on 30 April 1611; but from its description it covered the king’s earlier reign, and so was not Shakespeare's Richard II, first published
    14 years earlier.

    The notes were discovered in Forman’s extensive papers in or before 1832 by Philip Bliss or William H. Black. Joseph Hunter mentioned that Bliss had drawn his attention to them in the summer of 1832, and Black noted them on a proof-sheet of his
    catalogue of the Ashmole manuscripts. The description of MacBeth mentions characters "Ridinge", a detail that critics with a knowledge of Jacobean dramaturgy and stagecraft had found startling, although subsequent scholars, commenting on a horse
    evidently present on stage in another play, have opined that it is within the realm of possibility. Also the idea that Forman, a worldly-wise and canny operator, would spend his time drawing sententious morals from the stage plays he saw struck some
    modern critics as psychologically false, and in the 20th century suspicion emerged that the Book of Plays was one of John Payne Collier's forgeries, although Collier, who announced his discovery of the document in 1836, claimed to have used a
    transcription made for him by an unnamed "gentleman" (identified in 1841 by James Halliwell as W[illiam] H. Black, who catalogued the Ashmolean Collection).>>

    . Schoenbaum, in WS: Records and Images, records that
    . {SIMON FORMAN} died on Thursday, September 8, 1611:

    <<after dinner, feeling very well, [SIMON FORMAN] took a pair of OARS
    at Southwark to cross to PUDDLE Dock. While rowing in mid-stream
    . he collapsed, crying "(AN [IMPOST]), (AN [IMPOST])", and died.
    . A 'most sad' wind storm immediately followed the event.
    . So FORMAN's friend, the astrologer William LILLY, reports.>> .............................................................
    <<The pity is that [Simon Forman's play note in his _Booke of Paies_]
    are merely summaries of the plots, the doctor in _Macbeth_ being,
    apparently, his favourite character. If only he had written a
    description of the productions and of how Burbage played Macbeth and
    Leontes he could so easily have won the fame for which he thirsted,
    without the desperate recourse to SUICIDE A FEW WEEKS LATER,
    on the day that he had predicted of his death.>>

    <<For many years, the works of Josephus (c.37 – 100) were largely known in Europe only in an imperfect Latin translation from the original Greek. Only in 1544 did a version of the standard Greek text become available in French, edited by the Dutch
    humanist Arnoldus Arlenius. The first English translation, by [T]homas [LODGE], appeared in 1602, with subsequent editions appearing throughout the 17th century.>>

    In stead thereof scoffing Scurrilitie,
    And scornfull Follie with Contempt is crept,
    Rolling in rymes of shameles ribaudrie
    Without regard, or due decorum kept;
    Each idle wit at will presumes to make,
    And doth the learneds taske upon him take.

    But that same gentle spirit, from whose pen
    Large streames of honnie and sweete nectar flowe,
    Scorning the boldnes of such base-borne men,
    Which dare their follies *FORTH* so rashlie throwe,
    Doth rather choose to sit in idle cell,

    But during this accord,
    A wonder *STRANGE* to hear,
    Whilst Love in deed and word
    Most faithful did appear,
    False-semblance came in place,
    By Jealousy attended,
    And with a double face
    Both love and fancy blended;
    Which made the gods forsake,
    And men from fancy fly,
    And maidens scorn a make,
    Forsooth, and so *WILL I*.
