Inscription: inscription : printed : lower margin centre & recto : : The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extorioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. An the publican, standing afar off, would not life up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke XVIII. 11-13. //
