light thee my faith.

_Then shall they loose their hands, and the Woman with her right hand
taking the Man by his right hand shall likewise say after the Minister:_

I _N._ take thee _M._ to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from
this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in
sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part,
according to God's holy ordinance: and thereto I plight thee my faith.]

_Then shall the Minister Pray thus:_

O eternal God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind, Giver of all
spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life: send thy blessing upon
these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name;
that as Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully together, so these persons
may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them made, and
may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according
to thy laws, through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen._

[_If the parties desire it, the Man shall here hand a Ring to the
Minister, who shall return it to him, and direct him to place it on the
third finger of the Woman's left hand. And the Man shall say to the
Woman, repeating after the Minister:_

With this ring I thee wed, and with my worldly goods I thee endow, in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. _Amen._]

_Then shall the Minister join their right hands together, and say:_

Forasmuch as _M._ and _N._ have consented together in holy wedlock, and
have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have
pledged their faith either to other, and have declared the same by
joining of hands; I pronounce that they are husband and wife together,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Those
whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. _Amen._

_And the Minister shall add this blessing:_

God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep
you; the Lord mercifully with his favor look upon you, and so fill you
with all spiritual benediction and grace, that ye may so live together
in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting.
_Amen._

_Then shall the Minister offer the following Prayer:_

O God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, bless this man and this
woman, and sow the seed of eternal life in their hearts, that whatsoever
in thy holy word they shall profitably learn, they may indeed fulfill
