it_o that_o it_o may_v be_v red-hot_a about_o a_o hour_n when_o you_o think_v the_o powder_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o consume_v take_v the_o chest_n out_o from_o the_o coal_n with_o iron_n pincher_n and_o plunge_v the_o file_n into_o very_o cold_a water_n and_o so_o they_o will_v become_v extreme_a hard_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a temper_n for_o file_n for_o we_o fear_v not_o if_o the_o file_n shall_v be_v wrest_v by_o cold_a water_n but_o i_o shall_v teach_v you_o to_o temper_v they_o excellent_o another_o way_n take_v the_o pith_n out_o of_o goat_n horn_n and_o dry_v it_o and_o powder_v it_o then_o lay_v your_o file_n in_o a_o little_a chest_n strew_v over_o with_o this_o powder_n and_o do_v as_o you_o do_v before_o yet_o observe_v this_o that_o two_o file_n supernumerary_n must_v be_v lay_v in_o so_o that_o you_o may_v take_v they_o forth_o at_o pleasure_n and_o when_o you_o think_v the_o chest_n cover_v with_o burn_a coal_n have_v take_v in_o the_o force_n of_o the_o powder_n take_v out_o one_o of_o the_o supernumerary_a file_n and_o temper_v it_o and_o break_v it_o and_o if_o you_o find_v it_o to_o be_v very_o fine_o grain_v within_o and_o to_o be_v pure_a steel_n according_a to_o your_o desire_n take_v the_o chest_n from_o the_o fire_n and_o temper_v they_o all_o the_o same_o way_n or_o else_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o your_o mind_n let_v they_o stay_v in_o long_a and_o rest_v a_o little_a while_n take_v out_o the_o out_o the_o other_o supernumerary_a file_n and_o try_v it_o till_o you_o have_v find_v it_o perfect_a so_o we_o may_v temper_v knife_n to_o be_v most_o hard_o take_v a_o new_a ox_n hoof_n heat_v it_o and_o strike_v it_o with_o a_o hammer_n on_o the_o side_n for_o the_o pith_n will_v come_v forth_o dry_v it_o in_o a_o oven_n and_o as_o i_o

before_o they_o will_v be_v most_o hard_o i_o will_v show_v how_o a_o habergeon_n or_o coat_n of_o arm_n be_v to_o be_v temper_v take_v soft_a iron_n armour_n of_o small_a price_n and_o put_v it_o
