      E iten digo que eu perdono de todo coraçon a todos meus enemigos e que me an feito mal para que deus me perdone a min e demando e rogo a todolos que eu fisen mal que por amor de deus me perdonen para que diante de sua divina majestade achen tamen piedade e misericordia.
      And I say that I wholeheartedly pardon all of my enemies and those who have wronged me, for God to pardon me, and I ask and pray everyone I have wronged that, for the love of God, they pardon me, so that before His divine majesty they can find pity and mercy
