English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'De mirabili potestate artis et naturae' by Roger Bacon is a well-known Latin text that has been translated into English multiple times (e.g., as 'The Mirror of Alchimy' or 'On the Nullity of Magic'). However, the specific 1557 French translation by Jacques Girard de Tournus ('De l'admirable povvoir et pvissance de l'art, & de nature') has never been translated into English. The English translations of Bacon's work are based on the original Latin, not this specific French edition.
