It will be alfo proper to have a wafh of gall-ftone under As
Gold, which greatly fets it off.

To dye flk a Gold colour. This muft be dyed after the fame
manner as the ftraw colour is, only, when it is become reasona-
bly deep, put it into the laft fuds of the orange liquor and ftir it
therein fo long, till you are fure it is grown deep enough ; then
rinfe it out and dry it.

To dye fluff a Gold colour. Let the fluff be fnft dyed yel-
low, then fet frefh water over the firev and for every pound of
ware ufe an ounce of fuftelwood, called alfo yellow {havings,
and a good quantity of coarfe pot-afhes ; let the dye boil for half
an hour, and afterwards work the ftufF in it.

Gold fize. The method of making Gold fize for bumi-fhe<2
gilding, or wood, is this : Take a pound and an half of pipe-,
clay, half an ounce of red chalk, a quarter of an ounce of black
lead, forty drops of fweet oil, and three drachms of pure tallow ;
grind the clay, chalk, and black lead, all feparately, very fine,
in water; then mix them all together, add the oil and tallow,
and grind all to a due confidence. This is the fize now in ufe,
and is accounted the better, the older it is.

able damfel all naked, with a very becoming head-drefs; her
golden locks plaited and furrounded with fplendor; holding in
both hands a cornucopia, fhe pours from it many things ufeful,
and a {tuning ray round even to the ground.

Her nakednefs denotes her innocence, that needs no external
ornaments; the benefits and good things ftie difperfes ihew, that
they all proceed from heaven.

Grace and greatnefs, in painting. See COMPOSITION.

GRACEFUL pojlure and proper actions is the fecond thing
in a good picf ure, that is, that the true and natural motion of
every thing be exprefTed in the life and fpirit of it, that is to
quicken the life by art; as in a king to exprefs the greateit ma-
jefty, by putting or defigning him in fuch a graceful pofture that
may move fpeffators with reverence in beholding him.

And to draw a foldier in fuch a pofture as may betoken the
greateft courage, boldnefs, and valour; and to reprefenta clown
in the moft aukward and clownifh pofture ; a fervant or page in
the moft attentive and diligent pofture, &zc>
