Noble Sir Knight, I now re-invest you with the Insignia of Our Order. This Ring of Profession is always

G.C.: Brethren, to Order! Let us celebrate the Mystic Feast of the Sabbath.
(He leads procession. G.C., C.B., 3 Companions, S.B., K.S. new Companion last. They go 7 times round
the Tomb, widdershins; then all enter but K.S. who bars new Knight. K.S. directs him to knock, short,
long, short, short.)
