TO EFFECT THE SAME IN LESS TIME.
Thou horseman and footman, you are coming under your hats; you are
scattered! With the blood of Jesus Christ, with his five holy wounds, thy
barrel, thy gun, and thy pistol are bound; sabre, sword, and knife are
enchanted and bound, in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. Amen.
This must be spoken three times.
TO RELEASE SPELL-BOUND PERSONS.
You horsemen and footmen, whom I here conjured at this time, you may
pass on in the name of Jesus Christ, through the word of God and the will of
Christ; ride ye on now and pass.
TO COMPEL A THIEF TO
RETURN STOLEN GOODS.Early in the morning before sunrise you must go to a pear tree, and take
with you three nails out of a coffin, or three horse-shoe nails that were never
used, and holding these toward the rising sun, you must say: “Oh, thief, I
bind you by the first nail, which I drive into thy skull and thy brain, to
return the goods thou hast stolen to their former place; thou shalt feel as sick
and as anxious to see men, and to see the place you stole from, as felt the
disciple Judas after betraying Jesus. I bind thee by the other nail, which I
drive into your lungs and liver, to return the stolen goods to their former
place; thou shall feel as sick and as anxious to see men, and to see the place
you have stolen from, as did Pilate in the fires of hell. The third nail I shall
drive into thy foot, oh thief, in order that thou shalt return the stolen goods
to the very same place from which thou hast stolen them. Oh, thief, I bind
thee and compel thee, by the three holy nails which were driven through the
hands and feet of Jesus Christ, to return the stolen goods to the very same
place from which thou hast stolen them. + + + The three nails, however,
must be greased with the grease from an executed criminal or other sinful
person.
