LXIII. How to make a Man to appear on a flame burning, without any harm.

FOr to do this, take Brimstone, Or••i∣ment, and common Oil; of these make an Ointment, with the which an∣oint thy garments all about, and thy head and hands; and after light the same, and it will burn all at once, without harm. Also, take juyce of Adders tongue,

the juyce of March-Mallows, or other Mallows, and the white of an Egge; these mix together, anointing therewith all about thy body; and then cast the fine powder of Brimstone on the same, set∣ting it over a fire, and it will strangely bur••••, and yet neither harm hands nor garments which shall be anointed there∣with.
