Brother Francillo, I lay my hands upon your head in the name and by the authority given me of Jesus Christ to bestow upon you a blessing which is called Patriarchal, and in unison with the promises obtained by faith in the days of your ancient fathers. The same cometh unto you in your days, in honour to the lineal descent, wherein the Priesthood is your right being of the seed and lineage of the tribe of Manasseh. Therefore, I bless you with that seal of promise in that connection wherein you are to receive your inheritance, and the honour of your eternal felicity, through which you are to receive your Priesthood and the numbering of your posterity when you shall be called unto the genealogy which are written in the Chronicles of your brethren, and you shall be blessed with the Holy Priesthood with its gifts and graces in due time being attended with its divine honours, even unto its fullness, and shall go forth and come forth from places unto places and shall prosper in the way, and shall save yourself and your house and your fathers house that remain from this untoward generation, and shall redeem wherein redemption remaineth in the day of redemption according to the power of your Priesthood, and shall come up in your testimony, and receive the anointing which is a seal of the Priesthood and as a preparation for your burial, a seal as the Lord's anointed and an inducement according to the calling wherein you may be chosen to stand upon Mount Zion in the New Jerusalem, and you shall be blessed in your avocations Spiritually and Temporally, nevertheless you are not exempt from the days of your tribulation. These are the promises for you and your children after you and by them shall your name be perpetuated and as to your days and years and your inheritance as touching your days of probation shall be according to your faith, nevertheless they shall be many. These blessings I seal upon your head, even so Amen.
