Second section.

Question—­What were the preparatory circumstances attending your reception into this illustrious Order?  Answer—­I was conducted to the chamber of reflection, where I was left in silence and solitude, to reflect upon three questions, which were left with me in writing.

Q. What were your answers?  A. They were satisfactory to the Grand Commander; but as a trial of my patience and perseverance, he enjoined upon me the performance of seven years’ pilgrimage, clothed in pilgrim’s weeds.

Q. What followed?  A. I was then invested with sandals, staff, and scrip, and commenced my tour of pilgrimage, but was soon accosted by the guard, who demanded of me, “Who comes there?”

Q. Your answer?  A. A poor and weary pilgrim, traveling from afar, to join with those who oft have gone before, and offer his devotions at the holy shrine.
