Eine schöne Offenbarung, so der Herr den heil Frauen Elizabeth, Brigitta und Mechtildis muendlich offenbahrt hat. Ersthich spracher: Wisset, liebe Tochter, ich habe hundert und zwei Maultaschen von den Juden erhalten. ... Diese offenbarung ist im h. grabe zu Jerusalem gefunden worden, und wer sie bei sich tragt dem kann der bose Feind nicht schaden, und kann nicht vin jähren Tod befallen werden. So eine schwangere Frau solches bei sich tragt, wird sie ohne schmerzen gebaren. Translation of the text: A good revelation as the Lord has given verbally to the Holy women Elizabeth, Brigitta and Mechthild. Firstly he spoke: Do know, dear daughters, I have received one hundred and two slabs in my face from the Jews. ... This revelation has been found in the Holy Sepulcre at Jerusalem, and whoever is carrying it with him cannot be damaged by the bad enemy and he cannot be caught by sudden death (without confession). If a pregnaant woman carries such a thing with her, then she will give birth without pain
