at the Gospel side; the New Bishop goes to the middle of the Altar; where, signing himself with the Cross, he says:

THE FORM OF BLESSING.

℣. Sit nomen Domini benedictum.

℟. Ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

℣. Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.

℟. Qui fecit cœlum et terram.

Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus, Pa✠ter, et Fi✠lius, et Spiritus ✠ Sanctus. ℟. Amen.

℣. Blessed be the name of the Lord;

℟. Henceforth now and forever.

℣. Our help is in the name of the Lord;

℟. Who made heaven and earth.

May the Almighty God, the Father ✠, and the Son ✠, and the Holy ✠ Ghost, bless you. Amen.

The Consecrating and Assistant Bishops remain as before, standing on the Gospel side, in their mitres, looking towards the New Bishop, who proceeds from the Epistle side towards them, making in the way, three reverences, and at each reverence, saying to them:

Ad multos annos.

Many years of health.

He is then received to the Kiss of Peace by the other Bishops, who conduct him away, after saying the last Gospel of the Mass.

FINIS.

In omnibus glorificetur Deus.—Amen.
