Chapter XXXIII.
PRAYER FOR ONE THAT PURPOSETH TO GO ON A JOURNEY.

O God, our God, the true and living way, who didst journey with thy servant Joseph; do thou journey with thy servant, name, and deliver him from every storm and snare, and peace and vigour continually provide. Be pleased that, having accomplished every intention of righteousness, according to thy commandment, and being filled with temporal and heavenly blessings, he may return again.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
