In the name of the Most Holy, Blessed and Glorious Trinity and in the presence of the Knights here assembled, hereby and hereby, I, Sullienne Chichi, most solemnly promise and swear never to reveal the secrets of a Knight of the Temple to anyone who has not received that rank, except to a candidate for it, within a legitimate preceptory of Knights of the Temple, and only when I am fulfilling the duties of a regularly installed Tutor.
I further solemnly promise that I will faithfully maintain and defend the holy Christian faith against all unprovoked attacks by its enemies;
that I will not, even in anger, shed the blood of a Temple Knight, unless it is for a just war between sovereign countries or princes;
But on the contrary, I will defend him, even at the risk of my life, wherever and whenever his life or honor may be in danger; So also will I lay down my life if neccessary in the defence of those innocent and those persecuted and those attacked in any way by any means for any reason with unjustification by enemies of any race, any country or any purpose and so will I swear to assist, defend and reinforce the safety of such persecuted souls;
that I will protect, to the best of my ability, the closest and dearest relatives and friends of any Temple Knight, and will avoid, if possible, any harm, danger or violence to which they may be exposed.
Finally, I most sincerely promise to obey the highest authorities of the country where I reside or may reside;
to strictly observe and maintain the Old Regulations and Laws of the Order as well as the Statutes of the Grand Priory of France, and to answer and obey, as far as I am able, the summons that will be sent to me.
I swear to respect all these points faithfully, without hesitation, mental restriction or false evasion of any kind.
May Christ help me and arm me with firmness to fulfill this solemn obligation.
I swear to devote my speeches, my weapons, my strength and my life to the defense of the mysteries of the Faith, and to the defense of the unity of God.
I also promise to be submissive and obedient to the Grand Master of the Order.
Whenever it is necessary, I will cross the seas to go to battle, I will give help against the Unfaithful Kings and Princes, and in the presence of three enemies I will not flee, but I will fight them alone if they are unfaithful. So do I swear my Oath.

Non Nobis Domine, Non Nobis, Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam.
