Corporations, of course, began by admitting people in small and selected number of men known for their cultural skills, for his talent and his aristocratic status, which could give them the projection, submitting, however, by its rules. It was an attempt to halt the decline.
The first known case of acceptance is that of John Boswell, Lord of Aushinleck - or, according to JG Findel, Sir Thomas Rosswell, esquire of Aushinleck - that the June 8, 1600 was received as a Mason accepted - unprofessional - At St. Mary's Chapel Lodge (Lodge of Saint Mary's Chapel) in Edinburgh, Scotland. This Lodge was created in 1228 to build the Chapel of Santa Maria and is designed, as has been seen at meetings of ministers and discussions on the progress of works.
After that, the acceptance process, begun in Scotland, would spread and accelerate, so that by the end of the century, the number of accepted already exceeded, largely, of the operative freemasons. The most famous names of "acceptable" in the first half of the seventeenth century were William Wilson, accepted in 1622, Robert Murray, Lt. General Scottish army, received in 1641, the Lodge at the Chapel of Santa Maria and becoming then Master General of All Stores Army, Colonel Henry Mainwairing received in 1646 a lodge of Warrington, Lancashire, and the alchemist and antiquarian Elias Ashmole, in the same store and received the same day (October 16) that Colonel Henry.
In 1666, the freemasons would recover part of the former prestige, given the large fire on 2 September that year, held in London, destroying about forty thousand houses and eighty-six churches. At that time, the Masons flocked to join the reconstruction effort, under the direction of renowned master architect Christopher Wren, who, in 1688, saw its approved plan to rebuild the city, was appointed architect of the king and the city of London. The main work of Wren was rebuilding the church of S. Paul, in whose churchyard would develop and establish in 1691 a Lodge of fundamental importance for the history of modern Freemasonry, the Lodge St. Paul (in allusion to the church), shop or tavern "The Goose and the Grid," in allusion the place where, as did other Lodges, held its meetings and informal administrative, as discussed below. The reconstruction of London would end only in 1710
