The text is quite simple. For a newly consecrated bishop, it reads as follows:

Certificate of Consecration to the Apostolic Episcopate
On (date), at (place), in the name and under the authority of the Universal Gnostic Church, I (or we) did properly consecrate to the episcopate
(name)
As an independent bishop of the Gnosis after the order of Melchizedek.
(signature line)

For a newly ordained priest or priestess:

Certificate of Ordination to the Priesthood/Priestesshood
On (date), at (place), in the name and under the authority of the Universal Gnostic Church, I (or we) did properly ordain
(name)
As a priest/priestess of the Gnosis after the order of Melchizedek.
(signature line)

For a priest/priestess or bishop who has already been ordained or consecrated and whose status is being recognized by the UGC:

Certificate of Recognition
In the name and under the authority of the Universal Gnostic Church, and in acknowledgment of his/her prior ordination/consecration, I (or we) do hereby recognize
(name)
as a (priest/priestess/bishop) of the Gnosis after the order of Melchizedek.
(signature line) (date)
