 inform the brethern, will be punished with 108 blows and the loss of both his ears. 



Art. 5. 



The brethern shall not bring clandestinely policemen within the Council, in order to show

Art. 7. 



If a brother has been ordered to guard the passes, he shall not be allowed to go secretly

 nished with 108 blows and the loss of one ear. 



Art. 8. 



If a brother, no matter if he is an old or a new member, wishes to enter the Council-room,
