Folio 91v

Devotions to the Virgin Mary, continued.

Prayer, Obsecro te domina, continued.

He asks the Virgin that through these she will come, with the saints and the elect, to his aid and counsel throughout his life; and that she will ask her son that he may live to the fullness of his days under Christ's mercy, solace and salvation, in peace and prosperity, with Christ's help and blessing.
