Brother Washington I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth to place and seal a blessing upon you in the office of my calling touching upon your Priesthood and the right you have unto that holy order, also upon your rights inherent and lineage manifesting a few of the more important points of your existence or future considerations. Behold I say unto you Washington, your blessing is your inheritance and in the possessions of your fathers and the honor of your name and in the sheaves the reward of your labours. Although you shall be remembered in mercy in your house and habitation and in the blessings of your posterity and in the Priesthood to go down from generation to generation in which you have rights in the covenants made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, your Fathers from whom begineth your reckoning in these last days passing through the loins of Levi, and you shall be blessed in your lineage and in the inheritance of your fathers, and in due time shall all these things be made known unto you and you shall be blessed in your testimony and in your goings forth, incomings and outgoings, and in the fullness of the covenant, and your name shall be perpetuated from generation to generation and written in the chronicles of your brethren, and your days and years shall be many upon the land, and you shall be brought to stand in your place upon Mount Zion according to your appointment if your faith fail not. These blessings I seal upon your head. Even so Amen.
