The 31° and 32° degrees are very different from each other in form and content. The 31° reveals the dynamic relationship that has existed for centuries between human law as a means of achieving justice and divine justice as an ideal. The 32° reviews all of the previous degrees; in it we learn the very ancient roots of Masonic Truth.
