Therefore O Lord our God we pray that thou wilt give thy people
faith that we may claim this blessing of thee the Lord of Hosts
that thou wilt lay thy hand upon thy servant Brigham unto
the renewal of his body and the healing of all of his infirmities
and the lengthning out of his days and years yea O Lord may
he live to behold the inhabitants of Zion united and enter into the
Holy Order of God, and keep the Celestial Law that they may be
justified before Thee. May he live to behold Zion redeemed and
successfully fight the devils visible or invisible that make war
upon thy Saints. May he live to behold other Temple built and ded-
icated unto thy name and accepted of Thee O Lord our God, and
we pray thee our Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ if
it can be consistent to thy will that thy servant Brigham
may stand in the flesh to Behold the Nation who now occupies
the land upon which thou O Lord hast said the Zion of God
should stand in the Latter Day That Nation who hast shed the
Blood of Prophets and Saints which cry unto God day and night
for vengance. The Nation who are making war against God and his
Christ. That Nation whose sins wickedness and abominations
are assending up before God and to heavenly Hosts which causes
all Eternity to be pained and the Heavens to weep like the falling rain
yea O Lord that He may live to see that Nation (if they will not
repent and serve God) broaken in peasces like a potters vessel and
swept from off the face of the Earth as with the besom of destruction
as were the Jaredites and Nephites that the land of Zion may scease
to groan under the wickedness and abominations of those who now
cumber the ground. And we pray thee O God that thou wilt
bless all the councillors to thy servant Brigham
