We have done this that you may know that our whole care has been and is directed to your speedy attainment of peace.

Now may God, the all-seeing, and the master[*](Blessing) of spirits, and the Lord of all flesh, who chose out the Lord Jesus Christ, and us through him for a peculiar people, give unto every soul that is called after his glorious and holy name, faith, fear, peace, patience and long-suffering, self-control, purity, sobriety, that they may be well-pleasing to his

name through our high priest and guardian Jesus Christ, through whom be to him glory and majesty, might and honour, both now and to all eternity. Amen.
