Ecce Crucem Domini fugite partes adverse vicit Leota ibi Tuda Rodiae David ... o Christi achura nos. Christe defende nos + Christe libera nos ab omni peato a fulgeral tempestate et a morte perpetua. ... Das ist die Läng und Weite der Wunden Christi die ihm in seine heil Seiten gestochen worden am Kreuz. Wer diese mit Andacht Küsset auch 3 Vaterunser und 3 Ave Maria bettet, der wird Gnade in seine Sterbstunde erlangen. Pabst Clemens XI hat verlien 5 Jahr Ablass. Das Kreuzlein so in der Wunden Christi stehet 40 mahl gemessen machet die Lang Christi in seiner Menschheit. S. Benedicti wieder die Pest und Zauberei. Welcher Mensch die H. Läng Christi Jesu bey sich tragt ist behut vor allem Ungewitter Donner und Blitz was durch Zauberey gemacht wird und wo die Lange Jesu wird aufbehalten in einem Haus diss vertreibt alle Zauberey bey Vich und Leut dahero sollten alle Menschen dieses bey sich tragen dann die H. Wunden Christi behüt Haes vor Brunst Pestilenz und Zauberey. Translation of the German text at the bottom: Any person who carries this Holy Length of Jesus Christ with him is protected from storm, thunder and lightening which are made through witchcraft, and where the Length of Christ is kept in the house this banishes all witchcraft on animals and people. Therefore, all men should carry this with them as then the wounds of Christ protect the house against fire, plague and witchcraft.
