John, I place my hands upon thy head and I seal upon thee a Patriarchal blessing for thou hast received this gospel with an honest heart. The Father has revealed unto thee many things and he will continue from time to time until thou will see the general assembly of the first born, the mediator of the New Covenant. He has led you to Zion with an outstretched arm and thou shalt be a great counselor in Zion. Line upon line, precept upon precept, shall be given you for no good thing shall be withheld from you. Thou art of Joseph and a right to the fullness of the Priesthood with wives and a great Kingdom upon the Earth for it is your privilege to stand on the Earth at the coming of the messiah and all the saints with him for thou hast desired many things of the Father and you shall have an inheritance with houses and chariots and you shall lean upon your staff and bless your posterity forever like unto Adam in the Valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman and your posterity will rise up and bless thee and thou will shout Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb. These blessings I seal upon your head with all your fathers household and with Eternal lives to God and the Lamb forever and ever. Amen.
