Ancient Free and Accepted Masons:

I, [Name] being of the full age of eighteen years, do acknowledge my belief in God, and do declare that, unbiased by improper solicitation, and influenced by mercenary or unworthy motives, I freely and voluntarily offer myself a candidate for the mysteries and privileges of Freemasonry, and a sincere wish to be serviceable to my fellow creatures; that I am possessed of sufficient means to enable me to meet the charges of my admission and the support of my membership in the craft without detriment to my family; and that I cheerfully conform to all the ancient usage's and established customs of the fraternity.
