Δ. If I might without offending you, I would move two Petitions unto you, one concerning the Soul, and the other concerning the body: Concerning the Soul, is for one Isabel Lister, whom the wicked Enemy hath sore afflicted long with dangerous temptations, and hath brought her knives to destroy her self withall; she resisteth hitherto, and desireth my helping counsel, which how small it is God knoweth. The other is of another woman, who hath great need, and is driven to maintain her self, her husband, and three children by her hand labour, and there is one that by dream is advertised of a place of Treasure hid in a Cellar, which this woman hath hired thereupon, and hath no longer time of hiring the said Cellar, but till Midsummer next. She, and this dreaming Maiden digged somewhat, and found certain tokens notefied unto her: But so left off. I would gladly have your help herein, if it pleased God.
Mur. …… I answer thee, I will come again soon, and thou shalt receive a Medecine which shall teach thee to work help in the fist. The second is vanity, for it is not so, but to the intent that after great hope of this world hath infected the weaklings minde: Desperation might have the more open and ready entrance. But yet she shall be comforted for thy sake.
Δ. The praise be unto God.

Δ. How is this to be used?
Mur. …… Use it upon the body molested, adding the letters of her name in a small Circle on the back half, not the letters in their forms expressed, but the number of such letters.
Δ. We know not how to number her name in our letters.
Δ The second Table did not serve, & therefore I used the sevent, where all the letters might be had.

Δ. How is this to be used about her body?
Mur. …… As by discretion shall be thought best: It prevaileth sufficiently, so it be done, hut thus far I teach thee, and this, of concerning nature.
The health of him which sent me be amongst you. Amen.
Δ. Gloria & gratiarum actio perennis sit Deo nostro omnipotenti uni & Trino, Amen.
