Until we meet again, let the watchword be, 'Curses and persecution for the devil's offspring, the Illuminati!'" "Curses and persecution for the devil's offspring, the Illuminati, we swear!" "Now depart! Pay your tribute at the door, which you owe, and receive in return the new sign of the order, which will serve to make the brothers known to each other.

Only the directors and the members of the sixth grade shall knock again at this door after paying tribute, and, receiving the new word of life, the guard will let them enter.

Depart! I dismiss you in the name of the Holy Father and the Trinity!" "Take this cloak, and cover yourself, that no one can recognize you," whispered a person near Wilhelmine, and threw a soft covering over her.
"Will you now depart, or seek further in the way of knowledge ?" "I will seek further," answered Wilhelmine, firmly.
"You wish to enter the sixth grade, and learn the secrets of Nature ?" "I do!" "Then I will give you the watchword of the order.

But woe unto you if you reveal it! Swear that you will never betray it!" "I swear it!" "Then, listen!" Wilhelmine felt a hot breath upon her cheek, and a voice whispered in her ear the significant words: "Now depart; pay your tribute, you cannot tarry here.

Go, and return with the chosen!" A hand seized her arm and conducted her to the door.
