Inter vestibulum et altare plorabunt sacerdotes ministri Domini, dicentes:
Parce, Domine parce populo tuo:

ut non dominentur eis nations.

Between the porch and the altar the priests, the Lord's ministers, shall weep, and shall say:
Spare, O Lord, spare thy people:
and give not thy inheritance to reproach,
that the heathen should rule over them.
