There are several prayers in the manuscript. They were read over Old Believer escapist, who was profane by secular life into the world. There are different prayers for those who were into "abandoned world" for a long time but did not abuse the true belief; and for those who deviated true Orthodox belief. These prayers signify the return of repentant escapist into the true belief.
В рукопись входит несколько молитв, читавшихся над старообрядцем-странником, осквернившимся пребыванием в миру. Разные молитвы предназначены для тех, кто долго пребывал в "падшем мире", но не хулил православной веры; и для тех, кто отступил от православной веры. Молитвы знаменуют возвращение кающегося странника в истинную веру.
