The Blessing.

GOD, euen our owne GOD blesse vs: and graunt vnto vs, and all our faithfull and deere freends, his continuall benediction and health.

Yea let thy mightie hand and outstretched arme, O Lord, be still my defence; thy mercie and louing kind∣nesse in Iesu Christ thy deere sonne my saluation; thy true and holie word my instruction; thy grace and ho∣lie spirit my comfort and consolation vnto the end, and in the end: So be it.
