This King hath strength and power, not onely to transmute and change all metals; but also to cure all diseases and in∣firmities. This King is laudable, and adorned with many vertues, and with so great power, that he can transmute and change Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury, into the most con∣stant Luna, to every touch-stone; and also frees and delivers the bodies of men from infinite dis∣eases, as from Fevours, Feebleness, Leprosie, the French disease, or Morbus Gallicus, and from a great many other infirmities and diseases; which no Herbs, Roots, or the like Medicines can possi∣bly Cure, or take away. Whosoever maketh dai∣ly use of this Medicine, shall attain to, and pre∣serve himself in a sound and perfect long life.
