Sancte angele dei minister cele\stis ministerii imperii. Cui deus\ omnipotens mei custodiam deputa\vit. Per maiestatem et pieta\tem eius deprecor ut custodias\ animam meam a pravis et perversis desideriis et\ a noxiis cogitacionibus et illusionibus malignorum\ spirituum. Et corpus meum a malo opere et confir\ma me in timore et amore dei et sanctis operibus. Et\ post hanc vitam perduc animam meam ad eternam feli\citatem ubi cum Christo et sanctis omnibus sine fine gaudeat. Amen.\
