2 _Corinthians xiii_.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.

_The Office in the Common-Prayer-Book may be used: only instead of

through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our
vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the
mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
