Hadrianic Testament

That giver of good fortune, virtue, and honor, when poverty and the mass of evils are utterly destroyed, bestows all other things with sweet peace!
And as it gives all good things to the good according to their prayers, and ready honor, and the happy times of a long life;
so if it should be contaminated by the depraved through wicked abuse, it devotes the ungrateful to be tortured in eternal Hell original: "Orco".
Receive, honest reader, the mysteries of the sacred Stone Lapidis mysteria sacri the secrets of the alchemical stone concluded in these verses, and the HADRIANIC TESTAMENT TESTAMENTUM HADRIANUM.
Since it began to be written in His name, namely in the holy name of God, let it be solemnly closed with this.
To Him, who as the highest King directs the heavenly spheres and whatever is covered by them with kind governance;
to Him, the giver of so noble an Art, and who holds whatever good the race of men possesses, to the omnipotent Jehovah Jovæ God,
be praise, be glory through all ages of ages!
