Q. What followed? A. The Grand Commander then communicated to me the due-guard, the penitent's pass, and the grand sign, grip and word of Knight Templars.
Q. Give the due-guard? [The sign is given by placing the end of the right thumb under the chin.]
Q. To what does it allude? A. To the penalty of my obligation; to have my head struck off and placed upon the highest spire in Christendom.
Q. Give the penitent's pass? A. It is given as before described; the word is Golgotha.
Q. Give the grand sign. [This sign is given by placing yourself in a situation representing the crucifixion of Christ.]
Q. To what does this sign allude? A. To the manner in which the Saviour expired upon the cross, and expiated the sins of the world.
Q. Give the grip and word. [This grip is given by interlacing the fingers of the right and left hands of the candidate, which forms a cross.]
Q. What is the word? A. Immanuel. [The word is given at the time of giving the grip, and is the name of the grip.]
Q. What does the grip teach us? A. That as our fingers are thus strongly interlaced, so should the hearts of Knight Templars be firmly interlaced in friendship and brotherly love.
Q. What is the motto of our Order? A. Rex regum, et Dominus dominorum.
