All this I do promise amid the solemnities of this occasion, while duly impressed with a just appreciation of the dignity of M. E. K. God help me that I fail not in my truth, lest my name shall be records on the roll of infamy. Amen!

I, --- ---, duly impressed with the solemnities of this occasion, do promise that I will faithfully perform the duties of the office of G. S. of --- T., or in any other T. in which I may be called to preside, to the best of my ability; that I will induct no one, nor authorize nor consent to the induction of any one, into the first degree of the order until he shall have first received the ceremonies of the V. and the lessons of the A.
