    - TYLER OATH -

    The investigating committee administers the Tyler’s Oath in the following


    manner:

    The Past Master of the Investigating committee or chairman will hold the Holy
    Bible. The visiting Brother will place his right hand on the Bible and raise his left
    hand and repeat the oath as it is given by the P.M. or committee chairman.

    - Walking the Tyler’s Sword -

    The prelude to the Tyler’s Oath (commonly known as "walking" said sword”).
    The brother will retire four paces from the point of the sword. He will advance by
    three regular steps, giving the step, due guard and sign of the degrees in their
    natural sequence (EA, FC, MM). Then advance another step with the left foot,
    pick up the sword with the left hand, the right hand along shaft support in a said
    word and place near the heart and repeat the following:

    I (state your name) do hereby and hereon solemnly and sincerely swear, that I
    have been regularly initiated, passed, and raised to the sublime degree of a
    Master Mason, in a regularly constituted lodge of such; that I am not now under
    suspension or expulsion, and know of no just reason why I should not hold
    Masonic intercourse with my brethren. SO HELP ME GOD.
