gospel and of the Church of the first born, and
all those blessings that have been sealed upon
you heretofore. If we meet no more on earth
we will meet in the morn of the first resurrection

and kingdom in connexion with thy husband in
his high exhaltation in the linage of his fathers. I
seal all these blessings upon your head in the name
of Jesus Christ and by virtue of the Holy Priesthood
Amen
