To the God of Almighty power, and infinite wisdom and grace, I commend you, who is able to build you up, and give yon an inherit- ance among them that are sanctified. Finally, my beloved friends, farewel. May the love of God, the grace ofour Lord Jesus Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be ever with you. Amen.
