Allegiance
A Freemason owes Masonic allegiance first and foremost to the Lodge in which his membership is held; and second, to the Grand Lodge under which the Lodge is chartered. Should there be a conflict between the regulations of the Lodge and the supreme body, then allegiance to the supreme body takes precedence.
