Fellowcraft Obligation Flashcards
Repeat the obligation
I
I Michael Lee,
of my own free will and accord,
in the presence of God and this Worshipful Lodge of Fellowcraft Masons,
erected to Him and dedicated to the Holy Saints John,
do hereby and heron, solemnly and sincerely promise and swear,
in addition to my former Obligation,
that I will always hail, forever conceal, and never reveal,
any of the secret arts, parts, or points of the hidden mysteries of Freemasonry,
appertaining to the Degree of Fellowcraft Masonry,
to any person under the canopy of Heaven,
except it be to a true and lawful Brother of the Degree,
or within the body of a just and legally constituted Lodge of Fellowcraft Masons,
and neither unto him nor them,
until by strict trial, due examination, or legal information,
I shall have found him or them to be as lawfully entitled to the same as I am myself.
I furthermore promise and swear,that I will answer all due guards and signs given to me by the hands of a Brother of this Degree,
and will obey all summons sent from within the body of a just and legally constituted Lodge of Fellowcraft Masons,
if within the first square, or angle of my work.
Furthermore, that I will aid and assist all distressed worthy Brother Fellowcraft Masons,
withersoever dispersed around the globe, so far as I can do so,
without serious injury to myself.
Furthermore, that I will not cheat, wrong or defraud a Lodge of Fellowcraft Masons,
or a Brother of this Degree, out of the value of anything, knowingly and intentionally.
To all this I do most solemnly and sincerely, promise and swear,
with a fixed and steady purpose to perform the same,
without equivocation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever,
binding myself under no less a penalty,
than that of having my left breast torn open,
my heart taken thence and given as a prey,
to the beasts of the field and the vultures of the air,
so help me God and keep me steadfast,
in the due observance of this,
my solemn Obligation as a Fellowcraft Mason.
