It looks to be something like this to me:

PRESERVE YE PERFECT MEN ?VR? KEEP THIS PERCEPT (or PRECEPT) SATAN

Close, very close.

S a n d y

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Preserve ye perfect men ever keep the precepts ten

(As in Commandments!)

In that case you gave an incorrect message to decode (by adding vowels) since your expansion/decode had no S between the TH of "THe" and the PRCPTS of "PReCePTS" <g>.
