Ferromagnetic monotonicity makes the plus-boundary expectation decrease as the finite volume grows, so
$$
\langle\sigma_0\rangle_{\beta,0}^{\mathbb Z^2,+}
=\lim_{L\to\infty}\langle\sigma_0\rangle_{\Lambda_L,\beta,0}^{+}
$$
exists. The uniform lower bound from part i passes to the limit, proving positive spontaneous magnetization at sufficiently large $\beta$.
