Amen. And remember that thou stir up the grace of God which is given thee by this imposition of our hands: for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and soberness. Then the Archbishop shall deliver him the Bible, saying.. IVE heed unto reading, exhortation, and doctrine. Think upon the G things contto ret, this Book. Be diligent in them, that the contained in increase coming thereby may be manifest unto all men. Take heed unto thyself, and to doctrine, and be diligent in doing them: for, by so doing, thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd, not a wolf; feed them; devour them not. Hold up the weak; heal the sick; bind up the broken; bring again the out-casts; seek the lost. Be so merciful, that you be not too remiss; so minister discipline, that you forget not mercy that, when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you may receive the never-fading crown of glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. : Then the Archbishop shall proceed in the Communion-Service; with whom the new Consecrated Bishop (with others) shall also communicate.

Amen. REVENT us, O Lord, in all our doings, with thy most gracious begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy Name, and, finally, by thy mercy, obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

From this unnatural conspiracy, not our merit, but thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence, delivered us; and, therefore, not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
