Ritual of the Lodge at Worms

One is All and All is One. This degree is a consequence of the previous one or Knight R. C.; and since in it the meritorious Knight Templar is made into a Provincial or Grand Master, the pieces of revelation of the Order are also imposed upon him. No one receives these rules but those who are to become Grand Master.

When this happens, the acting General or Clergyman remains alone with him in the Chapter Hall; the brothers occupy all corridors of the house, and the Grand Master reveals to him the true secret of the Templars. When one is not quite secure in the Order's house, it happens in an open field. The true Templars had underground passages that led into a remote apartment. The Order's habit is white with gold; a white silk knight's ribbon with the letters J. E. E. embroidered in gold, meaning Justitia, Equitas, Egalitas Justice, Equity, Equality or Ille est electus He is the chosen one.

The Sign: One kneels down, and the first places his hand in a square upon his mouth and says: Celo I conceal; the other places his upon his heart and says: Servo I preserve. They then give each other their hands crosswise and say three times: Amen Adonai Amen.

The Knocking: 9 times 9, the Master's knock, thus 81.

In the Upper [Chamber], the Judge has the power to have all archives, books, and protocols of the Lodges opened, and when he enters a Lodge, the brothers must receive him on their knees, and the Grand Master must then hand over to him at the entrance of the great Chapter Hall the keys, books, hammer, and all Order's insignia; also, [they may] not rise together with the remaining brothers until the Supreme Judge gives permission, [who] says: Justitia, Equitas, Egalitas Justice, Equity, Equality, and all answer Amen Adonai Amen.
