returned.

Q. After his answer was returned, what followed? A. I was caused to
enter the Lodge on the two extreme points of the Compass pressing my
right and left breasts, in the name of the Lord.

Q. How were you then disposed of? A. I was conducted three times
regularly around the Lodge and halted at the Junior Warden in the
South, where the same questions were asked and answers returned, as at
the door.

Q. How did the Junior Warden dispose of you? A. He ordered me to be
conducted to the Senior Warden in the West, where the same questions
were asked and answers returned as before.

Q. How did the Senior Warden dispose of you? A. He ordered me to be
conducted to the Worshipful Master in the East, where the same
questions were asked, and answers returned as before; who likewise
demanded of me from whence I came, and whither I was traveling.

Q. Your answer? A. From the West, and traveling to the East.

Q. Why do you leave the West and travel to the East? A. In search of
light.

Q. How did the Worshipful Master dispose of you? A. He ordered me to
be conducted back to the West, from whence I came, and put in care of
the Senior Warden, who taught me how to approach the East, by
advancing upon three upright regular steps to the third step, my feet
forming a square, and my body erect at the altar before the Worshipful
Master.

Q. What did the Worshipful Master do with you? A. He made an obligated
Master Mason of me.

Q. How? A. In due form.

Q. What was that due form? A. Both my knees bare bent, they forming a
square; both hands on the Holy Bible, Square, and Compass; in which
posture I took upon me the solemn oath or obligation of a true Master
Mason.

Q. After your obligation, what was said to you? A. What do you most
desire.

Q. Your answer? A. More light. [The bandage around the head is now
dropped over the eyes.]

Q. Did you receive light? A. I did.

Q. On being brought to light on this degree, what did you first
discover? A. Three great lights in Masonry, by the assistance of three
less, and both points of the Compass elevated above the Square, which
denoted to me that I had received, or was about to receive, all the
light that could be conferred on me in a Master's Lodge.

Q. What did you next discover? A. The Worshipful Master approaching me
from the East, under the sign and due-guard of a Master Mason, who
presented me with his right hand in token of brotherly love and
confidence, and proceed
