W.M. Perform that duty, inform the Tyler that I am about to open a
Lodge of Entered Apprentices, and direct him to tyle accordingly.

The Junior Deacon then goes to the door, opens it, and finding the
Tyler stationed outside, duly armed, he informs him of the Master's
order and shuts the door.

J.D. The Lodge is duly tyled, Worshipful Master.

W.M. How are we tyled, Brother Junior Deacon?

J.D. By a brother Master Mason without the door, armed with the
proper instrument of his office.

W.M. What are his duties there?

J.D. To keep off all cowans and eavesdroppers, and to see that none
pass or repass but such as are duly qualified and have permission from
the Worshipful Master. (Master now gives one rap and seats the
Deacons.)

W.M. to S.W. Brother Senior Warden, as an Entered Apprentice, from
whence came you?

S.W. From the Lodge of the Holy Saints John at Jerusalem.

W.M. What came you here to do?

S.W. To learn to subdue my passions and improve myself in masonry.

W.M. Then I presume you are a Mason?

S.W. I am so taken and accepted among brothers and fellows.

W.M. What makes you a Mason.

S.W. My obligation.

W.M. How do you know yourself to be a Mason?

S.W. By having been often tried, never denied, and am willing to be
tried again.

W.M. How shall I know you to be a Mason?

S.W. By certain signs, a token, a word, and the perfect points of my
entrance.
