Best foundation that the scene of Blood may be spedily closed
that order, harmany, and peace may be Effectually restored
and truth and Justice, Religion, and Piety prevail, and flourish
among thy people. Preserve the Health of their bodies and the
vigor of their minds, shower down on them and the Millions
they ^here^ represent such Temporal Blessings as thou seest expedient
for them in this world, and crown them with Everlasting
glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and
through the Merits of Jesus Christ thy Son our Savior Amen
