Folio 12v

Miscellaneous devotions, continued.
Introduction to the prayer. Domine deus omnipotens, comtinued.



If, in a storm at sea, someone takes a cupful of sea-water, says this prayer and throws the water into the sea, the storm will abate. Whoever says it daily will be healed of his afflictions. He will become wise and will live eternally with the angels and saints. The virtues of this prayer are known only to God, who said: 'Ask and it shall be given you' (Matthew, 7:7).

et gracia spiritus sancti. Et si quis fuerit in tem\pestate maris capiat ciphatum de aqua ma\ris et dicat istam oracionem scilicet, Domine\ deus omnipotens pater et filius et spiritus sanctus da michi\ famulo tuo, N, victoriam contra omnes inimi\cos meos, et cetera ultra aquam predictam et postea proi\ciat illam aquam in mari et cessabit tempestas.\ Et ista oracio est medicinalis ad quemlibet\ dolorem illi qui cotidie illam devote dixerit. Sa\piens quoque deveniet, et hereditatem simul ac\ mansionem angelicam in regno et sanctorum eius eter\naliter possidebit. Nullus scit virtutes tam mag\nas istius oracionis nisi solus deus qui dixit pe\tite et dabitur vobis, et cetera. Qui cum deo patre\ et spiritu sancto vivit et regnat deus. Per om\nia secula seculorum. Amen.
