demanded of me from whence I came, and whither I was traveling.

Q. Your answer? A. From the West, and traveling to the East.

Q. Why do you leave the West and travel to the East? A. In search of
light.

Q. How did the Worshipful Master then dispose of you? A. He ordered me
to be conducted back to the West, from whence I came, and put in care
of the Senior Warden, who taught me how to approach the East, the
place of light, by advancing upon one upright regular step to the
first step, my feet forming the right angle of an oblong square, my
body erect at the altar before the Worshipful Master.

Q. What did the Worshipful Master do with you? A. He made an Entered
Apprentice Mason of me.

Q. How? A. In due form.

Q. What was that due form? A. My left knee bare and bent, my right
forming a square, my left hand supporting the Holy Bible, Square and
Compass; I took upon me the solemn oath or obligation of an Entered
Apprentice Mason.

Q. After you had taken your obligation, what was said to you? A. I was
asked what I most desired.

Q. Your answer? A. Light.

Q. Was you immediately brought to light? A. I was.
