First sentence: The one who, by order of the Great Master, is setting in writing the high and noble story of the Grail first sends greetings to all those men and women who believe in the glorious Holy Trinity, that is, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit-the Father, who creates and gives life to all things; the Son, who delivers all those who believe in Him from perpetual pain and brings them to the high joy without end; the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies and purifies good things.
