²⁰ and before the doom ask thyself, and thou shalt find mercy in the sight of God. [and before the doom ask thou thyself, and in the sight of God thou shalt find mercy.]

²¹ Before sickness make thee meek, and in the time of sickness show thy living. [Before sickness meek thee, and in the time of infirmity show thou thy conversation, or living.]

²² Be thou not hindered to pray ever(more), and dread thou not to be justified till to death; for why the meed of God dwelleth without end. [Be thou not letted to pray evermore, and dread thou not unto the dead to be justified; for the meed of God dwelleth into without end.]
