E quy en bataille vodra aler die cest oreysoun outre la ceynture de son espé, e pus se ceynte de ce, e le myeux ly avendra. Ne ocys ne playe mortel avera.

Ditez ces trois salmes devant le oreysoun: “Deus misereatur nostri” [Psalm 66], “De      profundis” [Psalm 129], “Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi” [Psalm 141]. Domine Deus, omnipotens Pater, Filius, et Spiritus Sanctus, da mihi, n[omine], famulo tuo, per virtutem sancte crucis victoriam contra omnes et super omnes inimicos meos ut non possint mihi resistere nec contradicere; set dirigatur virtus, potestas, et consilium eorum in bonum. Set tu, Deus, sis fortitudo mea, clipeus defensorius, et turris inexpungnabilis quatinus dispergentur et confundantur omnes adversarii mei. Deus Habraham, Deus Ysaac, et Deus Iacob, Deus omnium bene vivencium, libera me, n[omine], famulum tuum, de omnibus peccatis et angustiis meis, de necessitatibus et angustiis sine periculis. Et da mihi sermonem rectum et bene sonantem in os meum, ut placita sint verba mea vultus et opera omnibus hominibus me videntibus. Propheta clamat, apostulus dicat, “Christus in se confidentes salvat.” Christus vincit, Christus regnat. Christus imperare dignetur me esse triumphatorem omnium adversariorum meorum ut sicut non timebo quid faciat mihi homo. Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et ab hoste visibili et invisibili libera me. Amen. Domine Iesu Christe Nazarene, Fili Dei vivi, qui in cruce suspensus fuisti et lancea latus tuum perforari permisisti, etiam de tuo sanguine nos redemisti; et Susannam de falso crimine liberasti [Daniel 13]; et tres pueros de camino ignis ardentis eruisti [Daniel 3]; et Danielem de lacu leonum et eorum impetu salvasti [Daniel 6:16–27]. Ita salva et libera me, famulum tuum, ab omni opere malo, et conserva in omni opere bono, et perduc ad vitam eternam. “Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi” etc. usque “donec retribuas michi” [Psalm 141]. |

¶ One who says this prayer with good heart each day will have remission for his sins, will not die a bad death, but will have a good end. If you wish to have a good journey, say this prayer on that day, and you will not be disturbed in your passage but will have peace in your journey. And in the presence of each person wherever you arrive, you will find honor, love, and grace. If you are troubled by a storm at sea, take a goblet full of seawater and say this prayer over the water. And then throw it in the sea, and the storm will end. And one who wishes to go into battle should say this prayer over the belt of his sword, and then gird it about himself, and the best will come to him. He’ll have neither death nor a mortal wound. Say this prayer over running water, and give a drink to those who are bewitched, and they will become healthy. And at each time and in each place, in the beginning say the Paternoster and Ave Maria. And one who says this prayer will become wise and will receive God’s inheritance in the end. No one knows the great power this prayer has for believers except God alone. In the name of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Say these three psalms before the prayer: “May God have mercy on us” [Psalm 66], “Out of the depths” [Psalm 129], and “I cried to the Lord with my voice” [Psalm 141]. Lord God, all-powerful Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, grant me, [name], your servant, by the power of the holy cross victory against all and over all my foes so that they be unable to resist me or to speak against me; but may their strength, power, and counsel be guided to a good end. But you, God, be my bravery, shield of protection, and unassailable tower so that all my opponents may be scattered and routed. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, God of all good living men, free me, [name], your servant, from all my sins and anguishes, from needs and anxieties without dangers. And grant me speech sounding right and good in my mouth, that the words of my countenance and my deeds be pleasing to all people who see me. The prophet cries out, the apostle says, “Christ saves those who trust in him.” Christ triumphs. Christ rules. May Christ deign to command that I be victor over all my opponents in such a way that I will not fear what a man may do to me. God, make me safe in your name, and free me from the enemy seen and unseen. Amen. Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Son of the living God, you who were hanged on the cross and permitted your side to be pierced by a lance, even as by your blood you redeemed us; and you freed Susanna from false accusation [Daniel 13]; and you wrested away the three boys from the furnace of glowing fire [Daniel 3]; and you saved Daniel from the den of lions and from their attack [Daniel 6:16–27]. So too save me and free me, your servant, from every bad deed, and maintain me in every good deed, and guide me through to eternal life. “I cried to the Lord with my voice” etc. up to “until thou reward me” [Psalm 141]. |
