I have made some minor corrections to the text, but there is one that has eluded me.  The text refers to the "three most universal Degrees "  This cannot be correct: either they are universal or they are not.  Are they universal?  Or are they all-but-universal, or are they simply the three most common?  --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] 19:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

I have made some minor corrections to the text, but there is one that has eluded me. The text refers to the "three most universal Degrees " This cannot be correct: either they are universal or they are not. Are they universal? Or are they all-but-universal, or are they simply the three most common? --Martin Wyatt 19:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
