and water warm, dip a linen rag into it, which wring out, and
then rub the white.
Then lay on two or three layers of Gold colour, and more, if
it be not of a good body or deep enough ; and, when it is dry,
rub it well with a dry cloth, till it is bright again ; then take of
the ftrongeft brandy you can get, and with a pencil-brufh wafh
the Gold colour with this brandy; and, having leaf Gold ready
cut, lying upon the cufhion, clap it on, the moment the pencil
is gone over the part; and when it is dry polifh it with a dog's
tooth.
How to lay on Gold andfilver. Set your piece flanting, and
wet a part with a large pencil dipped in fair water ; then, having
the Gold ready cut on the cufhion, lay on the Gold, taking it
up with a cotton.
When the whole is gilded, fet it by to dry, but not either in
the wind or fun, and when it is dry enough burnifh it with a
dop's tooth.
To know when it is in a fit temper, pafs the dog's tooth over
it in fome little places; and, if it does not rub kindly, but peels
off, it is not dry enough.
But, on the other hand, take care not to let it be too dry ; for
it will require fo much the more trouble in polifhing, and after
you have done all you can it will not have the luftre you defire.
To lay Gold on any thing. Temper red lead ground fine with
linfeed oil, write with it, and lay leaf Gold upon it j let it dry
and polifh it.
To lay Gold on glafs. Grind together chalk and red lead,
each a like quantity, and temper them with linfeed oil; lay it
on, and when it is almoft dry lay leaf gold on it, let it be tho-

To matt Gold. Make a red with red lead, a little vermi-
lion, and the white of an egg, well beaten up ; grind the whole
upon a marble, and clap it into the deep or hollow places with a
pencil.
To make Jhell Gold and Jhell filver. Grind leaf Gold with ho-
ney juft out of the hive, or very pure, on a clean marble, till it
is extremely foft under your hand ; then put it into a glafs of
fair water, and ftir it, changing the water till it is very clear and
fine.
Then pour into it the quantity of a pennyworth of aqua-for-
tis, and let it lie for two days ; then take out the Gold, and the
aqua-fortis may ferve another time j the fame may be done with
filver.
When you would lay on either the one or the other, temper
it with one or two drops of a very thin gum water, and, to give
k the fmoother face, let your water be fbaped.
