From a Masonic Trivia Document I was reading:

Short of it:
“Other men are honest in
fear of punishment which the law might inflect;”

A Mason is honest for the point of being honest alone.

“The Character of a Freemason”
From the Farmer’s Almanac, 1823
Andover, Massachusetts

The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of Mankind by the
uniform unrestrained rectitude of his conduct. Other men are honest in
fear of punishment which the law might inflect; they are religious in
expectation of being rewarded, or in dread of the devil, in the next
world. A Freemason would be just if there were no laws, human or divine
except those written in his heart by the finger of his Creator. In every
climate, under every system of religion, he is the same. He kneels before
the Universal Throne of God in gratitude for the blessings he has received
and humble solicitation for his future protection. He venerates the good
men of all religions. He disturbs not the religion of others. He restrains
his passions, because they cannot be indulged without injuring his
neighbor or himself. He gives no offense, because he does not choose to be
offended. He contracts no debts which he is certain he cannot discharge,
because he is honest upon principle.”
