This being accomplished, he felt anxious to make trial himself, on the spot, of the virtue of this precious balsam, as he considered it, and so he drank near a quart of what could not be put into the flask and remained in the pigskin in which it had been boiled; but scarcely had he done drinking when he began to vomit in such a way that nothing was left in his stomach, and with the pangs and spasms of vomiting he broke into a profuse sweat, on account of which he bade them cover him up and leave him alone.
Hecho esto, quiso él mesmo hacer luego la esperiencia de la virtud de aquel precioso bálsamo que él se imaginaba; y así, se bebió, de lo que no pudo caber en la alcuza y quedaba en la olla donde se había cocido, casi media azumbre; y apenas lo acabó de beber, cuando comenzó a vomitar de manera que no le quedó cosa en el estómago; y con las ansias y agitación del vómito le dio un sudor copiosísimo, por lo cual mandó que le arropasen y le dejasen solo.
