 o God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, graciously regard Thy servant, Plus, whom thou hast been pelased to appoint pastor over Thy Church; grant, we beseech thee, that he may profit his subjects both by word and example, and to- gether with the flock committed to his care may attain to eternal life Through our Lord."
 The prayer for peace:
 70 God, from whom are holy desires, right counsels, and just works; give to they servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be disposed tC obey thy commandments, and the fear of enemies being removed, ouI times, by they protection, may be peaceful. Through our Lord"
