  1. The brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt health and peace:

  3. And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;

  4. And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and send you peace,
