The New Olympic and Blessed Rosary

How it happens with this mystery, that one part always tinctures in double, that is known to the highest God. A human being can speak nothing of this secrecy, much less think anything at all about it. Therefore, it is the greatest treasure in this world, which can be acquired by man in vain. And if God, the most Almighty Lord of Heaven and the Earth, would permit it, a human could prolong and maintain his life for many hundreds of years with this arcano secret medicine, when it is resolved into medicine. For this great fire of this mystery renews the human from the bottom up, so that the humor radicalis radical moisture, believed to be the source of life is entirely renewed in the human body. And as many times as a human takes this medicine, so many times will it truly triple anew. Just as the heathen King Xepholat, as one finds in the Egyptian Chronicle of the Egyptians at Hippona, maintained himself for three hundred years with this medicine.

And as the chronicle of the Egyptians indicates, when this king’s spouse lay in the last moments of her life, the king gave her some of this medicine; she immediately came to herself again and lived for 80 years after this.

And I, Trilmosin, say by my highest truth that I have given this medicine, as I prepared it from the Red Lion, to 60 and 70-year-old women, who thereafter gave birth to children again. I gave some of this medicine to an old man of 89 years; he became as new, his skin and hair all changed upon him, and he lived for another 30 years.
