1 If through his action in the offering of gifts in accordance with the Righteous Order, Thy saint shall smite the Lie, the inspiring spirit of our foes, when that in very truth shall come which has been, and is still yet, proclaimed as a deceit, when it shall come in the immortal life, regarding as it does both men, to bless, and demons, to afflict them, then shall Thy faithful worshipper increase thereby the celebration of Thy praise, O Lord! and with it blessings for Thy folk.

2 Tell me then, Lord, the end, for Thou dost know it. Tell me, to grant me strength and courage before those conflicts come which shall encounter me as leader of Thy tribes: shall the champion of Thy holy Order, O God, smite at last the evil heretic, and when? I ask Thee this; for this, if it be gained, is known to be the one good consummation of our life.

3 Yea, tell me then this, for to the enlightened man that is the best of teachings which the beneficent God doth proclaim, and through the revelations of His holy Order, bounteous as He, and wise with His intelligence, as well as they who declare to us still other secret sayings in His name. Their chieftain, O Wise One, is endowed with Thy Good Mind's understanding thoughts.

4 Yea, tell me the secret of the future struggle; for that enlightened man must follow close the holy Faith for which that struggle had its toil and effort. Yea, O Wise One, he who would bend his mind till it attains to that which is the better and more holy, must pursue the Faith close in word and action. His will and wish must be consistent with his chosen creed and fealty, and in Thine understanding, which discerneth all, shall he in many ways be versed at last!

5 But while I as yet know not the issue, I can yet hope and pray. Let the good kings obtain the rule. Let not the evil monarchs govern us, but let the righteous gain the day and rule us, with deeds done in good discernment and pious wisdom, which sanctify to men's minds the best of blessings for their offspring. Yea, for the Kine let Thy toil be given, and mayest Thou, O God, cause her to prosper for our life.

6 For piety will grant us pleasing homes, and, while we live in this longing prayer of Thy Good Mind to gain her welfare, she grants us likewise lasting strength for every deed which that Thy Good Mind moves us to perform; and therefore hath the Wise Lord caused the plants to flourish for her nurture, He, God, in the first creation of life.

7 Then in our coming strife let both her mortal foes be slain. Let the demon of wrath and rapine be cast down. Smite ye against the envy which would plot against our Throne, O ye who, abiding by the Good Mind, and in accordance with our holy Order, desire to hold that refuge fast, to whose sacred bond the bounteous man belongs. And therefore, O God, to save Thy struggling saint who toils with changing lot, will I place that refuge for him in Thy world.

8 And how shall I beseech Thee for this victory and gift? What is the potent prayer to bring on that Thy holy Reign? What for Thy sacred reward and blessing for my soul? How shall I seek the open helpers for the spread and maintenance of Thy great Order, while I myself live on in the deeds of Thy Good Spirit?

9 Aye, when shall faith be changed to certainty; and when shall I in verity discern if Thou indeed hast power over aught, O Lord, and through Thy Righteous Order guarding here on earth, O Thou within whose power lie my griefs and doubts? Let then Thy saving prophet find and gain aright, for my delight, Thy Good Mind's wonder-working grace; yea, let Thy Saviour see how gifts of recompense may be his own.

10 When, O Wise One, shall the men of mind's perfection come? And when shall they drive from hence the soil of this polluted, drunken joy, whereby the Karpans with their angry zeal would crush us, and by whose inspiration the tyrants of the provinces hold on their evil rule?

11 Yea, when shall our perfected Piety appear together with Thy Righteousness? When shall she come, as having the amenities of home for us, and provided, like our land, with pastures for the kine? And who shall give us quiet from the cruel men of evil life and faith? To whom shall Thy Good Mind's sacred wisdom come, to guide them in their toil to rescue and avenge us?

12 To whom? The answer lieth near. Such shall be the Saviours of the Provinces, and they who, through Thy Good Mind's grace, shall go on hand in hand with mental keenness, as it spreads among Thy saints, by the doing of every deed of Thy commandment, O God, through the help of, and in accordance with, Thy Holy Order; for such as these are set for us as steadfast foes of hate!
