BLESSINGS
On you, which the whole people of God in this Land will say, Amen, unto.
We wish, That you may be all good Soldiers of Jesus Christ, and not want the Spiritual Armour which may enable you to withstand Devils as well as Indians.
We wish, That you may be all good Souldiers of Iesus Christ, and not want the Spiritual Armour which may enable you to withstand Devils as well as Indians.
We wish That since our Lord says unto you, as he said unto them, I send you forth as Sheep in the midst of Wolves; this Great Shepherd may preserve you from them, and with his mighty Crook defend you, when you come into the Valley of the shadow of Death.
