IN the days of Esther / Merdocheus prayed the lord / being mindful of1 all his works & said lord / lord king almighty: for in thy power all things are put / nether is there any that can resist thy will / if thou have determined to save Israel. Thou madest heaven and earth / and whatsoever is contained within the compass of heaven: thou art lord of all / nether is there any that can resist thy majesty. Thou knowest all things / & wottest that it was not of pride or of spite / or any desire of glory that I did not worship most proud Amon: for I would have been ready / and that gladly (for the saving of Israel) to have kissed even the steppes of his feet. But I feared least I should turn y• glory of my God unto a man / and feared to worship any man save my God. And now lord king and God of Abraham have mercy on thy people for our enemies are minded to destroy us & to bring thine inheritance utterly to naught. Despise not y• portion which thou deliveredest for thy self out of Egypt. Hear my prayer & be merciful unto the part and inheritance / and turn our sorrow into Joy: that we may live and praise thy name ⟨p. cccxci⟩O lord / and stop not the mouths of them that praise thee. And all Israel with like mind & prayer / cried unto the lord / because that present death was not far from them.
