[English translation] To have and maintain a good foot for walking. Take the herb called hound's tongue and put it under the soles of the feet so that it touches the flesh. Then put on your shoes and walk and the soles of the feet will nevermore be painful as long as you keep some of this herb or leaves of hound's tongue under the soles of the feet. First, the day before you want to walk, bathe the feet with this: take some roots of rosemary and cut them finely and boil them in strong vinegar for a little. Then wash your feet with this vinegar and let them dry thus. In the morning put on your shoes with these leaves and you will have a foot as strong for walking as a horn. Especially use this bath to wash them each time and it will make the flesh hard. This is a good secret for the wayfarer. Another against sweating of the feet. Take equal amounts of dried rock alum and yellow litharge in powder and put them in the shoe. Put the foot in bare and your foot will not sweat as much. So a man may go securely on a dangerous journey. Before you leave the house to take a journey, say these holy words with devotion and carry them with you. Viz. First make the sign of the holy cross and say, 'Purity of Christ deliver me. + Christ is goodness. + Christ deliver me + from adversity. + Blood of Christ deliver and guard me. + Passion of Christ deliver me, your servant, Amen.' Say the following prayer with devotion and you will go in safety. 'In the strength of your arm that which I fear is removed. Your strength is a rock as your people pass by. So Lord Jesus passed through the multitude and no one apprehended him. May their eyes be darkened. May they neither see nor think evil and may their backs be turned. Amen. +' Another prayer. Make the sign of the holy cross and say, 'If you call me, permit fear and trembling to go away in the strength of your arm. Lord, may they be made as immovable as stone until your servant (name) whom you possess passes the constant enemy who guards the entrance. + Iota + sita + exitula +. With the sign of the holy cross I will pass by securely. + As Jesus passed through the multitude, so will I go before and go through the midst of them. + + + .' Carry this with you and God will aid you. Have faith that he will aid you in every peril. We pray. “Sweetest Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, you answered the Jews who wanted to seize you, 'I am he.' Then these Jews went away into the earth. So from that hour they were not able to harm you. Just as I believe and confess this to be true, so, most gracious Lord, Jesus Christ, now and always may you think me worthy to guard me from enemies who would harm me and may you turn them from anger and any evil they may want to do. May I follow in the way of peace and security. In praise and glory the name of guardian is blessed. World without end, Amen. + + + .” Say this every day and carry it with you. Prayer to entreat the grace of God and of the Madonna. 'Cross + of Christ be with me. Cross of Christ is always worshipped. Cross of Christ is hope for safety. Cross of Christ is above all, even the sword. Cross of Christ + surmounts the bonds of death. Cross of Christ, Jesus is for me a weapon of hope. Cross of Christ + is my protection. Cross of Christ delivers me from all evil through the divine grace of the Cross and it is my salvation in all journeys. Cross of Christ take away, away all evil from me. Cross of Christ save me from all the adversity of the world. Cross + of Christ, Jesus save me. May the ancient enemy not see me. May he disappear with this sign of the cross. May all wickedness flee far off from this sign. May it be powerful over all wickedness. Amen.' ---------- [Italian transcript] Bono piede per caminare et si mantiene.
