Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee Appointed by the General Assembly of the State of Rhode-Island, 1832
In the form in Bernard's antimasonic books the candidate is made to swear that he will espouse the cause of a companion royal arch mason, so far as to extricate him from any difficulty, whether he be right orwrong. He is also made to swear - in the same form - that he will keep the secrets ofa companion &c. &c'. Murder and treason not excepted. It is very clear that to take such obligations as these would be highly criminal: and if it were true that such are taken; it would go far to justify the worst accusations brought against masons.
