XXXII. If the Grand Master of last year has consented

with the Master and Wardens in private, before dinner, to continue for the year ensuing ; then one of the Grand Lodge, deputed for that purpose, shall represent to all the brethren his Worship's good government, &c. And turning to him, shall, in the name of the Grand Lodge, humbly request him to do the Fraternity the great honour (if nobly born,) if not, the great kindness of continuing to be their Grand Master for the year ensuing. And his Worship declaring his con- sent by a bow or a speech, as he pleases, the said deputed member of the Grand Lodge shall proclaim him Grand Mas^ ter, and all the members of the Lodge shall salute him in due form. And all the brethren shall for a few minutes have leave to declare their satisfaction, pleasure and congratu- lation.
XXXIIT. But if either the Master and Wardens have not in private, this day before dinner, nor the day before, desired the last Grand Master to continue in the master- ship another year ; or if he, when desired, has not con- sented: Then
The last Grand Master shall nominate nis successor for the year ensuing, who, if unanimously approved by the Grand Lodge, and if there present, shall be procl?imed, saluted and congratulated the new Grand Master, as above hinted, and immediately installed by the last Grand Master, according to usage.
