Original text and translations

Latin text Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et Ernestum qui in medio nostri est dirige, quoniam in misericordia tua speraverunt patres ejus et liberasti eos. Non confundatur servus tuus et filius servorum tuorum, non enim in brachio suo sperat, sed in multitudine misericordiae tuae.

English translation Save your people, Lord and direct Ernest, who is in our midst, because his fathers hoped in thy mercy and you delivered them. Let not your servant and the son of your servants be confused [for] he does not trust in his own arm but in the multitude of thy mercies.
