I . W. GRAND LOlMiK ^licitnt, /ice, Mb ^cttptei SElasons, A i/ro \

The Deputy and Grand Wardens, and any other Brethren
present, that are not members of this new Lodge, shall next
congratulate the new Master; and he shall return his becom­
ing acknowledgments to the Grand Master first, and to the
rest in their order.
Then the Grand Master orders the new Master to enter
immediately upon the exercise of his off<strong>ice</strong>, viz: in choosing
his Wardens: and, calling forth two Fellow-Crafts (Master
Masons), presents them to the Grand Master for his appro­
bation, and to the new Lodge for their consent. Upon
which
The Senior or Junior Grand Warden, or some Brother for
him, shall rehearse the charges of each Warden of a private
Lodge; and they signifying their cordial submission thereunto,
The new Master shall present them singly, with the several
instruments of their off<strong>ice</strong>, and in due form instal them in
their proper places. And the Brethren of this new Lodge
shall signify their obedience to those new Wardens by the
usual congratulation.
Then the Grand Master gives all the Brethren joy of theic
new Master and Wardens, and recommends harmony;
hoping their only contention will be a laudable emulation in
cultivating the Royal Art and the Social Virtues.
Upon which, all the new Lodge bow together, in returning
thanks for the honor of this Constitution.
The Grand Master also orders the Secretary to register
this new Lodge in the Grand Lodge Book, and to notify the
same to the other particular Lodges ; and after the Master's
song, he orders the Grand Warden to close the Lodge.
This is the sum, but not the whole ceremonial by far;
which the Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs can extend or abridge at pleasure,
explaining things that are not fit to be written: though none
but those that have acted as Grand Off<strong>ice</strong>rs, can accurately
go through all the several parts and usages of a new constitu­
tion, in the just solemnity.
