THE THEORY OF THE DEGREE OF ENTERED APPRENTICE MASON.
THE Degree of Entered Apprentice is the initial letter of the Masonic alphabet, the first round in the ladder
of grades, variously numbering three, seven, nine, eleven,
twenty-nine, one hundred and twenty-five, or whatever
figures the fancy of modern ritualists may assume to embrace all the Degrees of Freemasonry. An Entered
Apprentice degree is a beginner, a neophyte. All that is explained to him in the First Degree must be in the sense of laying down a foundation; for he can have no previous information or instruction upon which to base it. Yet the Entered Apprentice, in theory, is already a Mason, even before he enters the Lodge;, that is, he
must be already prepared in heart, for there is nothing
in Masonic science that can do the work of heart-preparation. And the neophyte must have had some exoteric
knowledge of Masonry as a public institution because he
is required to declare that "he has long entertained a
favorable opinion of it."
