On the one hand they come out of their own blood, not the blood of the jews, the blood of all the Jews. On the other hand, these masonic lodges are now the principal religious and political movements across Europe. They represent a cross section of the English elite, the aristocracy, and the religious classes which are now at the top of the political hierarchy. In this view, the Freemasons were part of a whole religious and political movement by which the English middle class (the aristocracy) was becoming integrated with the French. They represent a cross section of the English middle class which is now under the control of the British bourgeoisie. These men, this 'Middle Class,' were on the forefront of the first movement of the English bourgeois forces against feudalism.
This radical and revolutionary movement was founded on European ideas about democracy, freedom, and free association, and thus arose from a clash of ideologies. It began as a movement against the power and influence of the aristocracy which was under the care of the British crown in England and France when the monarch was alive. It continued under the same influence for the rest of the century, under the influence of Freemasons, who came out of the working class in America. Their influence in this movement was immense and was most clearly reflected in Freematical letters such as the "Lemons of Grand Lodge Horsham" written by the leading figure in the Freemasons
