Freemason Ashmole displayed great energy

An avowed Rosicrucian, and as we have seen, also a Freemason, Ashmole displayed great energy in reconstituting the Craft; he is said to have perfected its organization, to have added to it further mystic symbols, and according to Ragon, it was he who drew up the ritual of the existing three Craft degrees--Entered Apprentice, Fellow-Craft, and Master Mason--which was adopted by Grand Lodge in 1717.

from a depth great enough

What we know of the interior of the earth is found in great measure from the exterior, that is, from the construction of the rocks as seen in deep ravines, in precipices, and on the sides of hills or mountains; and also from what we have been able to learn from the exploration of mines and from deep wells, the deepest of which have penetrated it very little beyond one mile in depth; all of which knowledge may be summarised as follows: That the substances which compose the earth are manifold and of manifold nature—or, more appropriately speaking, simply the elements of chemistry—varying in density, or specific gravity, from the same as that of water, or in some cases much less, to three or four times as much in some kinds of rock and earths (disintegrated rock), to more than twenty times in the heaviest metals; that from a depth great enough not to be affected by the changes of seasons, the heat of the earth increases in descending towards the centre, by one degree of Fahrenheit's thermometer for every fifty to sixty feet in depth—that is about thirty metres for each degree of the Centigrade scale—as far down as we have been able to penetrate; that at the greatest of these depths abundant supplies of water are found, which shows that it [144] must exist at much greater depths than any that have yet been reached; and that at unknown depths, as shown by the eruptions of volcanoes, there are masses of matter in a molten liquid state, or that, owing to their great heat, can be suddenly liquefied by diminution of pressure.
