JACQUES DE MOLAY

Not one of us has betrayed his God or his country. I do confess my guilt, which consists in having, to my shame and dishonor, suffered myself, through the pain of torture and the fear of death, to give utterance to falsehoods imputing scandalous sins and iniquities to an illustrious Order, which hath nobly served the cause of Christianity. I disdain to seek a wretched and disgraceful existence by engrafting another lie upon the original falsehood.

For we did not and do not wish the Temple to be placed in any servitude except that which is fitting.

Let evil swiftly befall those who have wrongly condemned us - God will avenge our death.
