3. "Why are they so many, O lady, that trouble me? In thy fury thou shalt persecute and destroy them. Loose the bonds of our impiety, and take away the burden of our sins. Have mercy upon me, O lady, and heal my infirmity. Take away my sorrow, and the anguish of my heart. Deliver me not into the hands of mine enemies, and in the day of my death comfort my soul. Bring me unto the haven of salvation, and restore my spirits unto my maker and creator. Glory be to the Father," &c.

4. "When I called to thee, thou heardst, O my lady, and out of thy high throne thou didst vouchsafe to think upon me. From the roaring of them that prepare themselves to devour me, and out of the hands of such as seek after my life, thy grace shall deliver me: because thy mercy and thy pity are great towards all them that call upon thy holy name. Blessed be thou, O lady, for ever, and thy maj•••y for ever and ever. Glorify her all nations of the earth," &c.
5. "HEAR my words, O lady, &c. turn our […] into gladness, and our trouble into rejoicing. Let our ••• mies fall before our feet, and with thy power dash their heads in pieces."
