27. "O lady, let the brightness of thy face be my sight, and let the clearness of thy grace shine into my mind," &c.
28. "TO thee, O lady, &c. Have mercy upon me in the day of my trouble, and in the light of thy truth deliver me," &c.
31. "In thee, O lady, do I put my trust, let me not be confounded for ever; in thy glory receive me. Thou art my strength and my refuge, my consolation and protection, &c. Deliver me from the snare that they have said for me, because thou art my helper. Into thy hands I commend my spirit," &c.
34. "I will always praise our lady, &c. In perils, in adversity call upon her, and in time of need ye shall find succour. Let her conversation be an example unto you, and follow the virtue of her humility. Because therefore, O lady, thou wast humble and lowly, thou didst compel the word increate to take flesh of thee."
