All strength, courage, ability, worth, valor, prowess, heroism, excellence and virtue powers and authorities of Heaven shall hereby be vested as the Right of Ius Divinum Virtus to each and every Spiritual Collective as the body and force known as Virtus.

The word “Virtus” originally comes from Latin and means “ manhood, full powers, strength, courage, ability, worth, honor, valor, prowess, heroism, excellence and virtue”.

When anyone references, writes or speaks of Virtus, or Virtue or Courage, or Honor, or Excellence or Worth, or Valor specifically or in general as a quality, force, action, power, authority or any other manifestation, it shall mean this body and the powers vested in it and no other.

The valid gift, grant and conveyance of Virtus is hereby vested in all uniquely named offices defined by the present Covenant and associated Covenants and Charters.

An office not uniquely named within the present Covenant or associated Covenants and Charters may still receive the valid authority of Virtus by the gift or grant of such power through the exercise of power and authority of an office that has been granted such power by the present Covenant.

However, an office that cannot demonstrate proper gift, grant or conveyance of Virtus through the present Covenant possesses none.
