Folio 48v

Miscellaneous prayers, mainly to Jesus Christ, continued.

Prayer, Domine Ihesu Christe qui in, continued.



The author seeks forgiveness for his sins. He asks that he may be saved from the power of the devil and that, at the time of his death, his soul should come to God. He asks God to keep him safe by night as well as day; he asks that he may love, praise and serve God throughout his life.

nolencia, pro seduccione, pro visu, pro iniqua cogita\cione, pro adulteriis, pro fornicacione, pro hoc quod\ ad opus dei tarde venio reus appareo pro peccatis\ meis, qui nec dicere nec nominare possum\ omnes iniquitates meas et malicias meas\ non abscondi.

Omnipotens sempiterne deus credo quod\ pius es noli me derelinquere pie pater sed digna\re me [michi] indulgere quod male egi succurre michi\ pietas immarcessibilis dulcis et amabilis an\tequam fauces inferni me absorbeat antequam ve\niat pars inimici super me. Tu michi domine manum\ porrige et lumen ostende ut nulla potestas di\aboli me possit sumere. Et in illa hora quando\ anima mea egressa fuerit de corpore meo possim pi\issime pater ad te pervenire.

Omnipotens et misericors\ deus clementissime pater te laudo te adoro tibi\ gracias ago. Tu domine qui me salvasti per diem\ iube me salvari per noctem. Fac me domine ob tuam gra\ciam ad te venire, te amare, te laudare, tibi ser\vire, te diligere omnibus diebus vite mee.

Deus\ tibi commendo animam meam miserere mei deus\
