the under signed hereof, respectfully show that I am desirous of being admitted as a member of

FREEPORT LODGE OF PERFECTION, FREEPORT COUNCIL, PRINCES OF JERUSALEM,

FREEPORT CHAPTER OF ROSE CROIX, AND FREEPORT CONSISTORY

and request that I may be received among you, and that I will ever pray for the prosperity and glory of the Fraternity and the welfare of the brethren.

 

I the undersigned, do hereby promise on my word of honor, and swear true faith, allegiance, and fealty to the Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-Third and Last Degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America, sitting in its Grand East in the town of Lexington, Massachusetts, and will support and abide by its Constitutions, Orders and Decrees.

 

That I will hold allegiance to the said Supreme Council and be loyal thereto, as the supreme authority of the Rite; will hold illegal and spurious every other body that may be established within its Jurisdiction, claiming to be a Supreme Council to which said Supreme Council has not extended due recognition as such; and every other Body of said Rite within the same Jurisdiction that does not hold its powers from said Supreme Council, or form a Supreme Council recognized by it, and will hold no communication whatever in Scottish Rite Masonry with any member of the same nor allow him to visit any Body of the Rite of which I may be a member, and I will dispense justice to my brethren according to the laws of equity and honor.

 

And should I violate this my solemn vow and pledge, I consent to be expelled from Scottish Rite Masonry, and all rights therein and in any Body of the Rite, and to be denounced to every Body of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in the world as a traitor and forsworn.
