I, Jeff Barnes
do solemnly swear and commit to:
• Uphold the right, even at the cost of my life;
• Meter even handed justice, tempered with mercy;
• Assist and defend others;
• to strive to act with honor at all times.
It is known that for thousands of years the strong have preyed upon the weak. At various times and places an ideal arises, an ideal contravening this so-called natural order of things,an ideal requiring that the strong PROTECT those who are weak, that those who have PROVIDE FOR those who have not, and that those who can HELP AND AID those who cannot. It is known that this high ideal of Chivalry has arisen time and again only to be hidden by the actions of humanity time and again. THEREFORE, we Knights of the Order of Jubal do hereby declare and affirm and aver that the High Ideals of Chivalry are once again brought to the light of day and so swear to live by them. Remember that any action creates a reaction. Therefore, what you do, expect to receive. The Knight's word must be the word of truth and counted more trustworthy than a legal contract. Therefore, when you must give your word in bond, keep it. Do not speak ill of others, for you may not know the whole truth. Similarly, do not gossip, for unverified words are hearsay and in large part a thing of falsehoods. Be honest with others, and have them know that honesty is likewise expected of them. The anger of a moment leads to foolishness and may wreak havoc on the truth;</p> remember the Motto and keep your cool. Consider the consequences of your actions for others. Strive to do no harm. Learn quickly what the local norms of practice are. Obeying them will lead to peaceful interaction rather than useless conflict. Similarly, dignity and good humour are much to be admired. Courage and honour endure, even after mountains have crumbled to dust. he laws of the land should be obeyed wherever possible and within reason, for they are generally chosen with wisdom. Any Knight following this High Path of Chivalry must be above reproach in the eyes of the world. Only then will the darkness be lifted. TO THESE ENDS, we, the Knights of Jubal, swear: to uphold the right, even at the cost of our lives; to mete out even handed justice, tempered with mercy; assist and defend others; and to strive to act with honour at all times.
