Chapter 27
M. E. — Sir Knight A. B., you wiU now kneel before the
altar, cross your hands on the Holy Testament, and repeat
after me the Sacred and Solemn Vow of a Priest Mason
(crosses his hands over those of the Candidate).
I, A. B., in the presence of the Heavenly High Priest
of our Faith, solemnly pledge myself never to divulge the
Mysteries belonging to the Priesthood of Eusebius, unless
140 THE KED CROSS OF ROME AND CONSTANTINE DEGREE.
to a duly consecrated Viceroy of the Order, or a Kniglit
Companion, who shall have been regularly elected or
chosen for that office.
I further promise that I will at all times, to the best of
my ability, assist the Most Puissant Sovereign in the
government of tLe Conclave, under the penalty of being-
for ever shut out from the Holy Place, the true Tabernacle
which the Lord hath pitched and not man.
So help me, our Great Atoning Priest, and keep me
stedfast in this my Sacred and Solemn vow as Eusebius
of the Order.
(The Censor is swung throughout the vow.)
