chap. iii., vs. 6 to 18:--<br />

"Now we command you, brethren, in the name <strong>of</strong><br />

our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw<br />

yourselves from every brother that walketh<br />

disorderly, and not after the tradition which ye<br />

have received <strong>of</strong> us. For yourselves know how ye<br />

ought to follow us; for we behaved not ourselves<br />

disorderly among you; neither did we eat any<br />

man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor<br />

and travail night and day, that we might not be<br />

chargeable to any <strong>of</strong> you; not because we have<br />

not power, but to make ourselves an example<br />

unto you to follow us," &c.<br />

After the reading, the High Priest, the King, and<br />

the Scribe approach the altar and take their places<br />

in the circle, kneeling with the rest, the King on<br />

the right, and the Scribe on the left <strong>of</strong> the High<br />

Priest. Each one now crosses his arms and gives<br />

his right hand to his left-hand companion, and his<br />

left hand to his right-hand companion. This<br />

constitutes the living arch under<br />

p. 224<br />

which the Grand Omnific Royal Arch Word must<br />

be given, but it must also be given by three times<br />

three, as hereafter explained.<br />

The High Priest now whispers in the King's ear<br />

the pass-word RABBONI.<br />

The King whispers it to the companion on his<br />

right, and he to the next one, and so on until it<br />

comes round to the Scribe, who whispers it to the<br />

High Priest.<br />

High Priest--The word is right.
