cerebro, defronte, de lingua, de sublingua, de gutture, de faucibus, de dentibus, de oculis, de naribus, de auribus, de manibus, de collo, de brachiis, de corde, de anima, de genibus, de coxis, de pedibus, de compaginibus omnium membrorum intus et foris. Amen." Then work up a drink thus; font water, rue, sage, cassuck, dragons, the netherward part of the smooth waybroad, feverfue, a head of dill, three cloves of garlic, fennel, wormwood, lovage, lupin, of all equal quantities; write a cross three times with the oil of unction, and say, "Pax tibi." Then take the writing, describe a cross with it over the drink, and sing this over it, "Dominus omnipotens, pater domini nostri Tesu Christi, per impositionem huius scripture et per gustum huius expelle diabolum a famulo tuo;" here insert the name, and the Credo, and Paternoster. Wet the writing in the drink, and write a cross with it on every limb, and say, "Signum crucis Christi conservet te in vitam eternam. Amen." If it listeth thee not to take this trouble, bid the man himself, or whomsoever he may have nearest sib to him, to do it, and let him cross him as well as he can. This craft is powerful against every temptation of the fiend.
