~~ The Law of the Gospel ~~
PETER:
A couple will now come to the altar. Brethren and sisters, this couple at the altar
represents all of you as if at the altar, and you will be under the same obligations as
they will be. We are required to give unto you the Law of the Gospel as contained in the
Holy Scriptures; to give unto you also a charge to avoid all lightmindedness, loud
laughter, evil speaking of the Lord's anointed, the taking of the name of God in vain, and
every other unholy and impure practice, and to cause you to receive these by covenant.
All arise. Each of you bring your right arm to the square. Each of you covenant and
promise before God, angels, and these witnesses, that you will observe and keep the Law of
the Gospel and this charge as it has been explained to you. Each of you bow your heads and
say "yes."
PATRONS:
Yes.
PETER:
That will do.
