Owe you to any layman any debt,
Which neither you yourself, nor through a friend,
Without our Order's help can liquidate ?

I nothing owe.
ADALBERT (Aside). To ono great secularist I owe yet somewhat ; but he shall bo paid.
MOLAT.
Are you quite sonnd in body and in mind ? llavo you no secret blemish or disease ?
FRANK.
I am quite healthy.
ADALBERT. I have no disease.
MOLAT.
Have you to no layman or Templar-Knight, Or any other person, promised gold, Reception in our Order to secure ; And are you quite pure from all simony ?
FRANK.
I would not so disgrace yourselves and me.
ADALBERT.
How should I purchase what may not be bought ? MOLAT.
Are you a Paladin of gentle birth ? In honourable wedlock were you bred ? And sprang your father from a knightly race, And was your mother a lady nobly born ?
