Worthy, Just, Humble, Sincere, and an Apostle of Christ. Receive a Bles∣sing and an Apostleship which shall con∣tinue for this time and that which is to come. Let Angels be at thy right hand and crowned Apostles at thy left. Let the Church and the Altar be thy Mother, and God thy Father. Let the Angels be thy Friends, and the Apostles thy Brethren, and guard the degree of thy Apostleship. May God strengthen thee in Justice▪ in Holiness, and in the Holy Church, and may Angels receive thee, and inseparable Peace be with thee, Through our Lord Iesus Christ, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit reigns and lives for ever and ever. Amen.
