Prayer, Sancte Nicholae serve, continued.
The author asks for protection from evil and dishonour. He asks that St
Nicholas, who prevented three girls from being shamed, giving gold to them and
their father to relieve their poverty (GL, pp 17-18), will intercede for him and
help him to withstand evil, persevere in good, overcome poverty, and adhere to
one faith and teaching.
pro me deum qui tibi contulit tam grandem hono\rem quod per suam [suum] et ob
tuum amorem ab omni ma\lo et dedecore imperpetuum me velit defendere. Sancte\
Nicholae qui tres puellas ab earum malo proposito\ revocasti et ad effugandam
earum et patris inopiam\ non modicum aurum eis contulisti. Roga pro me do\minum
deum nostrum ut per te me a malo proposito re\vocet. In bono me perseverare
concedat omnem\ inopiam [a] me repellat. Veram fidem michi donet, et\ eius
legem et precepta secundum quod oportet et hu\mana fragilitas permittit graciam
suam michi tribu\at. Amen.
