[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c] 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation: salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.
