LORD God of my master Abraham / send me good speed this day / & show mercy unto my master Abraham. •o I stand here by the well of water and the daughters of the men of this city will come out to draw water: Now the damsel to whom I say / stoop down thy pitcher and let me drink. If she say / drink / and I will give thy camels drink also / y• same is she that thou hast ordained for they servant Isaac: ye & thereby shall I know that thou hast showed mercy on my master.
