And now the King having been thus anointed and crowned, and having
received all the ensigns of royalty, the archbishop solemnly blessed
him, and all the bishops standing about him, with the rest of the peers,
with a loud and hearty Amen.
The Lord bless and keep you: the Lord make the light of his
countenance to shine for ever upon you, and be gracious unto you:
the Lord protect you in all your ways, preserve you from every evil
thing, and prosper you in every thing good. Amen.
The Lord give you a faithful senate, wise and upright counsellors
and magistrates, a loyal nobility, and a dutiful gentry; a pious and
learned and useful clergy; an honest, industrious, and obedient
commonalty. Amen.
In your days may mercy and truth meet together, and righteousness
and peace kiss each other; may wisdom and knowledge be the
stability of your times, and the fear of the Lord your treasure.
Amen.
The Lord make your days many, and your reign prosperous; your fleets
and armies victorious: and may you be reverenced and beloved by all
your subjects, and ever increase in favour with God and man. Amen.
The glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon you: may he bless
you with all temporal and spiritual happiness in this world, and
crown you with glory and immortality in the world to come. Amen.
The Lord give you a religious and victorious posterity to rule these
kingdoms in all ages. Amen.
