[English translation] For destroying worms. Write on the toenail of the child these characters, J.O.B. First you should say the Pater Noster in the right ear of the sick person and then you should say, 'Saint Job had worms and then did not have them. They died through the intercession of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. So be it. + + +.'... 69 Another also powerful not only for humans but also for animals. Viz., take a pail or vessel full of water and make three signs of the cross + + + over it, saying 'May this be consecrated in the name of the Father + and Son + and Holy Spirit, + Amen.' Then take a little knife with a white handle and make the sign of the cross + with the handle over the water, saying, 'In the name of the Father + and Son + and Holy Spirit, + Amen, I exorcise this water through the Father and Son and Holy Spirit, Amen, and by the living God, by the true God, by the only God, by the patriarchs, by the prophets, by the angels, by the archangels, by his dominion, by his supremacy, by his power, by the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, by the 24 elders who daily praise God and by the 144,000 innocents and by the most blessed Holy Mary, mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and by all the saints of God, so whichever man or woman or horse may have worms and may drink this water, quickly will be freed and the worms will degenerate and die.' You should say 3 Pater Noster with 3 Ave Maria with the words which follow which should also be said three times, 'In the name of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit, Amen. Job, Job, Job had worms and they died and he was freed, thanks to God, thanks to God, thanks to God. As he was truly liberated so this man or woman or horse will be freed from worms. Amen. So be it. Agios.' Give him this water to drink and keep this blessed water always in your house to use it for these purposes. Another, a marvelous ointment against worms. Take ½ ounce each of mastic and hepatic aloe and 3 drams each of colocynth and myrrh and make very fine powder of them. Then take 1 handful of this and dry it in the oven when bread is removed. Grind it and make fine powder. Then take 1 lb. of ordinary oil, the oldest you can find, and half a glass of absinthe juice and 2 ounces of petroleum oil. Put the petroleum oil with the olive and boil this for the space of 3 Pater Noster and then put in the above powder, little by little, always stirring, and let it boil for ½ hour. Then put in as much clean wax as a nut and it will be made. Then rub the patient who suffers from worms. It should be warm and rub the top of the stomach and the chest as far as the navel and do not miss it. Rub the kidneys, all the wrists, the temples, the nares of the nose and soon, with the aid of God, the patient will be cured. It has been tested. *Another for round worms or worms. Make the sign of the holy cross on the forehead of the infant and say three Pater Noster and these words in the right ear of the infant, 'Saint Job had worms and Saint Job was freed and the worms were dead. Man was created and brought forth. The Lord God is strong and powerful.' In the ear or in the mouth say 3 times, ' Galba, gabella, gabellatum est jospes mortes vermes,' and you will cure this sickness immediately. *Water for scabies. Take 10 lb. of cistern water, 1 lb. of lees from a charred barrel of yew which held dyes for tinting glass, 3 ounces each of salt and rock alum and ¼ ounce of sublimate. Grind everything and boil them in a clean pot or carafe. At the end of one hour it will be made. Remove it from the fire, let it cool and strain it. With a sponge bathe with this water for 4 evenings, one yes and the next no, and on the alternate evenings wash with warm lye and change your clothes. Use a clean blanket and you will be cured. When this water is used to bathe it becomes turbid and so when you use it that will happen. ---------- [Italian transcript] Ad lumbricos destruendos.
