for thee in the kingdom of God. Thy friends that remain
after thou art in thy grave shalt receieve for and in thy
behalf evry seal of the covenant that belongs to the Melchezedak
priesthood or the kingdom of God that should not be sealed upon

upon thy head the speirit of peace so that thou mayest feel &

of God [Luke 2:25-30] and art made a partaker of the fulness of the
everlasting covenant. Thy body shalt rest in peace and
arise with the just and enjoy celestial glory. All these blessings
