 characterized in that the adjusting device comprises on a first outer and thereof a wall attachment configured for attachment to the brick wall, wherein the wall attachment is configured such that, following attachment of the adjusting device to the brick wall, the adjusting body is rotatable in the plane of the brick wall; and   wherein the wall attachment comprises a first adjusting body attaching part configured for attachment to the adjusting body, and a wall attaching part configured for releasable coupling to the brick wall, wherein the first adjusting body attaching part is rotatably connected to the wall attaching part.   
     
     
         2 - 3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the wall attachment is provided on a side thereof to face toward the brick wall with a protective layer. 
     
     
         5 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claims 1 , wherein the adjusting device comprises on a second outer end thereof a masonry guide attachment configured for releasable attachment of the adjusting device to the masonry guide. 
     
     
         6 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the masonry guide attachment comprises a second adjusting body attaching part configured for attachment to the adjusting body, and a masonry guide attaching part configured for attachment to the masonry guide, wherein the second adjusting body attaching part is releasably lockable to the masonry guide attaching part. 
     
     
         7 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the second adjusting body attaching part is releasably lockable to the masonry guide attaching part by means of a pin-hole connection. 
     
     
         8 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the length of the adjusting body is adjustable. 
     
     
         9 . Adjusting device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the adjusting body comprises at least two adjusting body parts sliding out of and into each other and locking means for locking the at least two adjusting body parts at a determined length of the adjusting body. 
     
     
         10 . System comprising one or more joint bodies which are each configured to be received in a joint of a brick wall to be laid and an adjusting device for adjusting a masonry guide relative to the brick wall, comprising an elongate adjusting body, wherein the adjusting device is releasably attachable to both the brick wall and the masonry guide, wherein the adjusting device comprises a hinge for rotating at least a part of the adjusting body out of the plane running parallel to the brick wall when the adjusting device is connected only to the brick wall, wherein the adjusting device is configured for releasable attachment to one of the joint bodies. 
     
     
         11 . System as claimed in  claim 10 , comprising a foot for releasable attachment of an underside of the masonry guide, wherein the foot is configured for releasable attachment to one of the joint bodies. 
     
     
         12 . Method for adjusting a masonry guide relative to a brick wall to be laid using a first and second adjusting device for adjusting a masonry guide relative to the brick wall, each adjusting device comprising an elongate adjusting body, wherein the adjusting device is releasably attachable to both the brick wall and the masonry guide, wherein the adjusting device comprises a hinge for rotating a least a part of the adjusting body out of the plane running parallel to the brick wall when the adjusting device is connected only to the brick wall, comprising the steps of:
 a) determining a first location where an underside of the masonry guide has to be placed;   b) determining on the basis of the first location a second location on the brick wall where a first outer end of the first adjusting device has to be attached and a third location on the brick wall where a first outer end of the second adjusting device has to be attached, such that imaginary lines from the second location to the first and from the first location to the third lie at an angle;   c) attaching the first outer end of the first adjusting device to the brick wall at the second location and attaching the first outer end of the second adjusting device to the brick wall at the third location;   d) attaching the second outer end of the first adjusting device to the masonry guide and attaching the second outer end of the second adjusting device to the masonry guide.   
     
     
         13 . Method as claimed in  claim 12 , making use of a system comprising one or more joint bodies which are each configured to be received in a joint of the brick wall and an adjusting device for adjusting a masonry guide relative to a brick wall to be laid, comprising an elongate adjusting body, wherein the adjusting device is releasably attachable to both the brick wall and the masonry guide, wherein the adjusting device comprises a hinge for rotating at least a part of the adjusting body out of the plane running parallel to the brick wall when the adjusting device is connected only to the brick wall, wherein the adjusting device is configured for releasable attachment to one of the joint bodies, wherein step b) comprises the further step of:
 b1) arranging a first joint body in the brick wall at the second location and arranging a second joint body in the brick wall at the third location;   and step c) comprises the further developed step of:   c1) attaching the first outer end of the first adjusting device to the first joint body and attaching the first outer end of the second adjusting device to the second joint body.
