Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor - Rose Croix

Brother, you will first step off one full step with your left foot, bringing the heel of your
right in the hollow of your left foot, now you will step off with your right foot, bringing
the heel of your left in the hollow of your right. (Steps 1 and 2, Fig. 14, p. 93.)
The candidate is now within kneeling distance of the altar, and the Senior Warden makes
the following report to the Master:--
Worshipful Master, the candidate is now in order, and awaits your further will and
pleasure.
W. M.--Brother Senior Warden, you will place him in due form for taking upon himself
the solemn oath or obligation of a Fellow Craft.
The Senior Warden, with the assistance of the Senior Deacon, now causes the candidate
to kneel on his naked right knee, before the altar, making his left knee form a square. His
left arm, as far as the elbow, should be held in a horizontal position, and the rest of the
arm in a vertical position, forming another square--his arm supported by the square, held
under his elbow, and his right hand resting on the open Bible. (See Fig. 10.)
W. M.--Brother Gabe, you are kneeling for the second time at the sacred altar of
Masonry, to take upon yourself the solemn
p. 64
oath or obligation of a Fellow Craft; and I take pleasure, as Master of this Lodge, to say
to you (as on a former occasion), there is nothing in this oath that will interfere with the
duty that you owe to your God, your family, country, neighbor, or self. Are you willing to
take it?
