<P> After the officers of the order follow members, who are divided into six hierarchical grades, all having accordant post-nominal letters . Grade I is limited to only the members of the Grand Council plus no more than 21 others, though royalty and heads of state of any country may be appointed as a Bailiff or Dame Grand Cross without counting towards the complement . All Priors, should they not already be in the grade or higher, are made a Knight or Dame of Justice upon their assignment . This formerly enabled them, along with all Bailiffs and Dames Grand Cross, to nominate two personal Esquires, just as each Knight or Dame of Grace could nominate one personal Esquire, subject to the Grand Council's scrutiny . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Grades of the Order of St John: </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Grade </Td> <Td> Grade I </Td> <Td> Grade II </Td> <Td> Grade III </Td> <Td> Grade IV </Td> <Td> Grade V </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Title (English) </Td> <Td> Bailiff / Dame Grand Cross </Td> <Td> Knights / Dames of Justice or Grace </Td> <Td> Commander / Chaplain </Td> <Td> Officer </Td> <Td> Member </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Title (French) </Td> <Td> Bailli / Dame grand - croix </Td> <Td> Chevalier / Dame de justice ou grâce </Td> <Td> Commandeur </Td> <Td> Officier </Td> <Td> Membre </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Post-nominal letters </Td> <Td> GCStJ </Td> <Td> KStJ / DStJ </Td> <Td> CStJ / ChStJ </Td> <Td> OStJ </Td> <Td> MStJ </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Grades of the Order of St John: </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Grade </Td> <Td> Grade I </Td> <Td> Grade II </Td> <Td> Grade III </Td> <Td> Grade IV </Td> <Td> Grade V </Td> </Tr>
