places you did before the colour will be liuelier this doyng you shal come to your purpose And this colour keepeth alwaies and giueth a good odour Also laiyng the saide matter vpon the heares of a mans head or berde that is grey it will make them blacke To make good oile of Nutmegges TAke two or three pounde of Nutmegges and cut them small and stampe them well then put them in a pan and heate them mixyng them alwaies togither This done you shall put them into a canuesse or stroÌ„g linen cloth and put them in a presse and presse theim well and gette out all the licour of them whiche wilbe like Manâ—a And then skrape it from the Canues bagge asmuche as you can with a knife then put it in some vessell of glasse and stoppe it well but set it not in the sunne although it seeme euil fauored for it will waxe cleere and faire of it self with in ten or xv daies and is worth thrise as much as the Nutmegge it selfe And this oile hath great vertue for to chafe and heate and in annointing the stomacke warme it swageth the paine of the mother and Sciatikes To make parfite oile of Spike TAke the floures of spicke nete and parfite and in quantite asmuche as

white Vinaigre and the spot of inck will easely goe out To restore the colour to a cloth that hath lost it in taking out a spotte TAke a pound of Tartre of white wine and calcine it in a fornaise of bricke vntil it be white and take an vnce of it than take a pint of stroÌ„g Vinaigre and cleere and put the said pouder into it so set it on the fire And whan it beginneth to boile take it by and by of and it is made Then weate by little and little the place that hath losâ—e his colour â—â—ners times and the colour will come againe A water to take all maner of spottes out of cloâ—â—â— of any colour TAke two olde oxe galles and two scrupules of rocke Alome and asmuche of Alumen fecis foure vnces of Tartre of white wine one scruple of Camfire and stampe all togither very smal This don take two flagons of cleere water and put al togither and so seeth it with a slowe fire vntil it make no more froth or skim Then putte into it three vnces of Aqua vite of three distillinges and so keepe it in some vessel of glasse vntill you will occupie it And if the spotte be in skarlate take a corner of the same cloth and weate it in the said water and rubbe well twise or thrise the spotte and than washe it againe with cleere water and it will goe out The like maie you doe in al sortes of colored clothe in taking a little of the like colored clothe or other that is nighe vnto the colour weating it and rubbing as is afore saide and it shalbe done To driue awaie Flies Spiders Scorpions and other Vermine from your house TAke what quantite of Lapwinkes feathers you will and burnâ— them in your

sprinkle your house with it or your chambre and they shall not trouble you for the sauour of the water is very contrary vnto theim but beware you laie no baite for them to giue them occasion to enter in boldely for afterward thei will not greatly care for the sauour of it A very excellent Secret for to take out spottes or hard fleshe gotten by labour TAke salte peter Blewe vitrioll and Verdegrise of eche of them two vnces two vnces of Alumen Sucharinum and halfe an vnce of vnsleckt Lime and lette all be made into pouder then distill it in a limbeck of Glasse True it is that the firste water is not verie good but the seconde will bee excellent good to washe theim withall often times and they will drie vp by lâ—ttle and little so that you shall not perceiue it You maie take also some pouder of Euphorbium or Euphorbius tempered with lie and oile of Tartre and incorporate it well and so soke the spottes or harde fleshe with it and cutte it as neere as you can and laiyng this medicine vpon it you shalbe hole Take also the water that falleth from the vignes after they bee cutte and washe the Wartes oftentimes with it and they will were awaie leauing the skinne cleane with out any blacke spottes You maie make also pouder of Cantharides and incorporate it with Rosen Pitche and make therof a plaister whiche you shall laie vpon your Wartes and hard fleshe and you shall kill their roote so that thei wil drie vp of themselues and will go awaie without any paine Take also glasse heaten small and washe it and take the finest of it and mixt it with a little womans milke and some leuaine of wheate and make thereof a plaister first cutting the wart or hard fleshe paring of the head of the warte and so laie it vpon it at night and in oftentimes vsing this they will go awaie To take oile or grease out of a cloth of what colour so euer it be without any droppe of water TAke some sheepes feete and make them verie cleane then seeth them and eate theim keepe the right bones the which you shall burne and make therof a cleane and fine pouder This don heate the said pouder and laie it vpon the spot and let it remaine in the sunne and whan you see that the pouder beginneth to waxe black take it by and by of and put other freshe vpon it and doe this so often that you see the pouder no more blacke and than the spotte wil be gone and the colour of the cloth not perished Balles of Sope for Barbers of diuers sortes and sauours FIrste you muste note that the Sope is purged and purified two maner of waies The first is the venitian Sope beyng3 cut small muste be put in a pot that is not fatty nor hauing any euill sauour and put into it some rose water or other sweete waters or els in this maner folowing Take well water and put into it cheuers of cipers and seeth it a good while than straine it it wil be very odoriferous and sweete or els putte in the floures of mirtle tree of Orenge tree Cedar tree Spicke Lauander Agnus castus Sticados beyond sea Violettes Sage and suche other odoriferous floures or herbes as Cedâ—â— Baie our ladies glooues Minte Maioram Time and other sweete herbes and make of all this a composition so make a sweete water of diuers sauours and so seeth it a little This done take of the sope that swimmeth aboue with a Spoone and laie it vpon a newe Tile and it wil incontinent be drie and shal remaine neate and cleane bicause the water hath taken awaie al the filth and vnctuosite of the sope and therfore will be faire and white without any euil sauour hauing augmented the good smell of it And this maie you keepe against you haue neede of it And this is
of sage and asmuche of Lentiscus cut very small and halfe a dishfull of blacke Berries and so distill all this in a limbeck of glasse and whan the water is come out change the recipient and sette vnder another giuing it a sharper fire and the finer parte of it will come out And if you thinke good to mingle it at your discretion bee it but it shalbe the stronger Then keppe it in some vessel of thicke glasse and welstopt whan you wil make your teeth while make them firste cleane from meate or other thinges that maie sticke in them and specially the white filthe that is about them with a point of a knife Then you shall haue a tooth pikoâ— of the wood called Lentiscâ—s or of some other little sticke and weate iâ— in the saide water and so rubbe your Teeth with it and they will incontinent be as white as Iuorie and will continue so a long time without hurting them at all but rather will make you haue good gommes and fasten the teeth in the saide gommes If you will also make another sorte for to make cleane your teeth take the sharpe huske of a chestnut whan it is ripe and drie it and make therof a pouder then take asmuche more of the seede of nettles made also into a fine pouder and incorporate them well togither And whan you will make your teeth cleane rubbe theim with the saide pouder and that will sette suche a beate in the gommes that skant you shal be able to shut your mouthe by reason of so greate abondance of water that will come out of your mouth but it will doe you nâ— hurt for in taking a little Rose water into your mouthe and a little Sugre candy so refreshing it ther with the paine will passe awaie incontinent The true secret and maner howe to maâ—â— beyond sea Azure or els for all tutches or paragon Also for to make strong paste for to incorporate the Azure stone in it called Lapis lasuli and to take it out againe in his time and whan you thinke good HAue first some cleere nete Turpentine foure vnces with sixe vnces of faire Rosine and asmuch of faire Pix greca three vnces of faire Mastick and asmuch of cleere newe ware an vnce and a half of Line seede purified or an vnce of oile of bitter Almondes But you shall take firste a newe pot of earth well leaded and wette and putte into it the Turpentine vpon a fire of embers somewhat slowe vntil it be molten sturring it alwaies with a wooden spoone made after the facion of an Apoticaries slise and whan it is well molten putte into it by little and little the Rosine cut as small as is possible then putte into it by the same meanes the Pix greca the mastick beaten and stampt three or foure times and then the waxe beyng cut very small mingle it well with the said slise or spoone vntill all be well incorporated togither and aboue all thinges see that there bee but a little fire for otherwise it would burne and the fire would take it bicause they be all hote thinges ready and apt to be kindlid This done put the oile into it true it is that the oile of line seede is muche better thaÌ„ the oile of Almondes not withstanding you maie put in of that whiche is most comodious and let your pot so stande on the fire that the saide composition maie wawme and bubble a litle the space of a quarter of an houre or more if neede be and whan the saide past is sodden you shall knowe it by this experience Take a spoone of woode and sturre it wel about with it then take it out and make two or three droppes of it into a dishe of freshe water and if the droppe ren a brode in the water it is a signe that it is not sodden inoughe and therefore seeth it more vntill the droppe keepe togither in the water Also you maie proue it this waie weate your fingars in the water and wring the saide droppe if it stretche out a long in drawing it out vnlouse it self thaÌ„ it is a signe that it is soddeÌ„ inough and than take it from the fire empty it so hote as it is into a bagge sharpe pointed at the bottome like a gelley bagge beyng first weate in hote water and let the past droppe into a basin beyng sette in a paile full of freshe water and do it diligently and circumspectly to the intent that all maie come out and wringe the bagge betwene two stickes and it wil the soner come out And whan it's cold againe take it out of the water and tosse it vp and downe betwene your handes vntill you be sure there is no more water in it And if by reason of the heate it did cleaue to your handes anoint your handes with oile of line seede well purified as we will declare after in the chapter of purified oile After that you haue well rubbed it betwene your handes and well cleansed from the water than keepe it alwaies in freshe water and note that if it bee in somer you must change the water euery day or euery two daies ones And in thus doyng it will keepe viij yeare beyng alwaies good and strong To make the second paste softer for beyond sea Azure TAke foure vnces of faire Turpentine sixe vnces of faire Rosin sixe vnces of clere Pix greca an vnce of faire Waxe three quarters of oile of line seede and seeth it like as the other was in the chapter before true it is that it is soner sodden bicause it is softer that is to saie it will make you soner Azure than the firste whiche is muche stronger but if you woulde labour for Azure with bothe these pastes lette the softer bee alwaies the firste and if the stone be not of perfitest hauing veine of Gold giue it neuer bothe the pastes But note that in these two pastes consisteth the true arte to knowe well the parfite beyond sea Azure for therein lieth the gaine and the losse and therefore do it diligently and wisely To purifie the oile of line seede for the Azure TAke what quantite of oile of line seede you shall thinke good so that it bee faire and cleere of a yellowe colour like Gold and put it in a horne of Glasse or in an Oxe horne that hath a hole in the bottome and putte vpon it some freshe water and sturre it well with a sticke than â—ette it stande still a little while and open the hole vnderneth and lette out the water doyng so seauen or eight times or vntill the water come out as cleere as whan you did put it in and in this maner men purifie the said oile then keepe it in some vessell of Glasse againste you haue neede of it And if paraduenture you can not gette of of the saide Oile take the oile of bitter Almondes for you maie vse and occupie it without and more purifiyng
true it is that it costeth more and yet is not so good as the other but for a shifte And note well that whan you heare speake of oile it is of this purified oile Lie for to washe beyond sea Azure TAke eight or ten handfuls of the ashes of vines well sifted and put it into some vessell that holdeth at the least a paile full and a halfe of water and thath hath a hole in the bottome and so order it that the water maie reÌ„ne out and that the ashes kepe in and stoppe the hole without side Then put in the said ashes and presse it doune asmuche as is possible this done powre vpon a paile full of hote water by little and little and open it not vnderneth vntill the water begon to the bottom And than let it out as fast as it will keepe this first water in a vessell of glasse and distill it thorowe a felt that is to a bande of olde white cloth then distill it againe with a piece of felt or white cloth and than it wil be nete cleane and purified and keepe it well from dust in some vessel leade within Then put another pailefull of hote water in to it and lette it out as before you did the other and keepe alwaies of these twoo sortes against you haue neede This done do it the thirde time in the like maner and put eche of these waters or lie by them selues the first is strong the second weaker the third is weakest of all and sweete of the whiche lies menne do vse for to washe the fore saide paste with all whan the Azure will not come out as you haue learned before Nowe whan you will occupie of this lie take of all three sortes asmuche as you shall thinke good A man maie make yet another maner of lie to washe the paste with and to purge it from his vnctuosite and fatnes Take asmuche calcined Tartre as you will and boile it in cleane water the space of a quarter of an houre or more then lette it go doune to the bottome keepe it so cleere for you maie occupie it whan the past is vnctuous or fatty and also for to washe the beyonde sea azure for asmuch as it augmeÌ„teth lighteneth the colour of it It is also good for to heale the skabbe skurfe and lasarie if a man vse to washe him self with it and maketh all the body cleane and white How the Vessell ought to be wherin all the waters are put that the azure is washed with THe vessell muste be of earth bake and anelled and well leaded and polished in the bottome and if it be not of earth it maie be of Copper or Laton well polished at the bottome and lette it haue three pipes or conduites one in the middle another somwhat lower and the thirde within two fingars of the bottome And if you thinke that it is not yet azure let it stande eight or tenne daies vntill it be well settled and you shalt see at the bottome a little azure Then washe it with fresh water as you did the other and so put it with the other or els kepe it a part for it is faire and good The first parte howe to knowe the vertues good 〈◊〉 and signes of Lapis lasuli and to make true â—â—yonde sea Azure most perfectly and expertly Wâ—ate first the saide stone with spettle or water and sette a piece of white cloth before it and you shall see it giue in it a faire lustre of a Violet colour whiche shall comforte your â—ight And if you will make the proofe to know if it be fine take a little of it and laie it vpon hote embers and make it flame theÌ„ take it out if you see that it is not altered it is a signe that it is good and if it chaÌ„ge not at all it is of the finest bicause it feareth not the fire but rather augmeÌ„teth his true and parfite colour If you will make another proofe laie it vpon a fire panne or vpon some other yron and so heate it on a flambe and then quenche it with white vinaigre very strong and take it of if you see that it hath not loste nor changed the colour it is of the best and if it take colour againe it is of the finest and moste parfite And if a manne could get of this seconde which encreaseth his colour he might sell it for three or foure crounes the vnce but very little of it is to be had that wil kepe his natural colour but will change some thing in the triyng And you must note that in making these trials with fire if the stone do not keepe wholly his naturall bâ—ate the azure shall not be of the fairest but of the meane sort To know whan it is pouder whether it be good or no take a Goldsmithes melting pot and put a little of it into the said pot at your discretioÌ„ and set it on the fire and let it flame heate and then let it coole againe And if it bee not good it will melte like glasse but if it be good it wil remaine vnmolteÌ„ in his owne substance and essence although it bee in pouder it will yet be good and if incace it were but halfe good and halfe badde the badde will melte and become like a cake and the stone will remaine in his state and colour still And this fraude and deceit is comonly wrought of them that sell it and therfore lette euery manne beware of it And of all the three sortes of Azure you shall get out for euery pound of stone I meane of that which endureth y e cimentes aboue said about a fiue vnces and a halfe of Azure and the firste which shalbe the finest will be solde for xij or xiij duâ—ates an vnce the second for iij. or iiij crownes and the third a crowne Than shall you take out the laste whiche is called cinders whiche is of no great value yet neuertheles it wil beare the cost charge of your past and by this meanes you maie giue iudgement of the gaine and profits of your worke But if it were of those stones whiche in triyng of them do decrease and lose their colour a manne can not make so muche noâ— so fine but if you will take paine for to fine theim the more you must giue them the past as it shalbe declared afterward True it is that it diminisheth much in weight But that is good true and parfite whiche is full of veines of Gold and shining and that is it that sustaineth and abideth liuely all cimentes of fire of Vinaigre and also all other triall The maner howe to prepare the stone Lapis lasuli and to calcine it whan you will grinde it TAke the said stone that is to saie that whiche hath the veines of Gold and whiche hath ben in cimentes and fore saide profes and breake him into pieces as bigge as Hasel nuttes and washe theim in hote water then putte
mentioned and lette it drie a little in the shadowe in the saide Basen This done take it out circumspectly and diligently and spreade it abrode vpon the Porphire stone and lette it so drie thorowly Then putte it among the paste for to incorporate it in this maner following To incorporate Lapis lasuli in the strong past or other soft after that it is grounde TAke a pound of Lapis lasuli whan it is ground ordered as is aforesaid and take also a pound of the strong past which is the first wash it wel with your handes on the out side than cut it in smal peces put them into a little pot wel leaded within so stiepe it then set it vpoÌ„ the hote embers ye shall melt the said past but take good heede that it frie not if paradueÌ„ture it should frie put into it a droppe of the fore said oile by and by it wil leaue friyng And whaÌ„ the past is well molteÌ„ take the little sticke or sklise that you did occupy whan you made the past annoint it with the said oile whan the past is turned mixe it wel and in the meane time another shal put in by little little the foresaid pouder prepared as men do oile vpon salades neuer leaue turning of it so loÌ„g as there is any but yet a little at ones with the sklise incorporate it togither a long time vntil you se that the pouder be wel mixed with al that nothing may be seene out of y e past but al wel fastened perced in And whaÌ„ you see this by by take the pot so boiling poure it into a basen of cold water and eueÌ„ furth with make the said pot as cleane as you can with the sklise that there remaine nothing in it whan the said past is colde so that you may handle it with your hande annoint your handes with the fore said oile if you see that the past is well died colored it is a good signe with your handes so anointed tosse the past vp doun the space of an houre a half drawing it out alwaies in leÌ„gth ouerthwart again to thinteÌ„t that if it had made any hollow bladders within it might be al the better brought into one massiue body or substance And note the more you remoue it vp doun in your handes so muche the more shall you get out of it in washing it This done make it into the forme of a long or round lofe as you shall thinke good than put this past into a bacin well pollished cleane with cleane fresh water that is cleere inough let it so soke y e space of x. or xv daies or more for the more it soketh the fairer shall it be the parfiter and wil easeliar and soner come out of the paste To get beyond sea Azure out of the paste TAke the past prepared washe it handsomely and wel without with your handes in the saide colde water than put it into a basen the botome whereof you must anoint with the afore said oile that the said base be at the bottom very fine wel leaded this don poure vpon it some luke warme water that is skant warm let it be two fingars aboue y e past if the said water were distilled thorow a felt it would be muche better for to be assured you shall waie the past after it is washed to the intent you may know what to do how much you ought to take out of it in coÌ„sidering with your iudgement the oile that maie paradueÌ„ture be entred in in haÌ„dling it so leaue it in the said water luke warme the space of a quarter of an houre if it be in sommer but if it be in winter lesse Then remeÌ„ber to empty out al these waters into the foresaid vessell hauing three gutters or pipes whan you voide out the first water put in other luke warme water to the intent that the past may be the softer so by little little the good will come out For if you would haue it out al at ones you shuld do your thinges euill Remoue sturre faire softly the paste with the foresaid stick or sklise And if in cace the past shuld cleaue to the bottom annoint your handes turne it handsomly so often vntill the water begin to waxe blew whan you see the water coloâ—ed died empty it out vpoÌ„ the other holding sustaining vp the past with the little stickes or sklises to thintent that it cleaue no more to the botom of the basin knowe that very little of the first Azure that coÌ„meth out wil staine colour a great deale of water And whan y e past is in the way to reÌ„der giue out the Azure it wil cast out as it were certain blew beames of y e sunne And thaÌ„ you shall empty out y e said water vpoÌ„ the other whaÌ„ you empty y e water that is in the basen straine it thorow a strainer for to saue certaine little peces of past if in cace there should come any among the Azure and so will it come the cleaner and purer This done put from hand to hand some luke warme water vpon the past and turne preâ—ily the saide past with your fore said stickes leisourly and handsomely specially at this beginning for feare lest the paste should lose and vndoe it selfe and so render and giue out all the Azure at ones whiche thing would be to no purpose neither could you afterward sort it or order it After you haue thus turned it foure or fiue times take vp togither your past and you shal see howe muche there is come out for of the first there should come furth foure or fiue vnces a half that is to be vnderstand if the Lapis lasuli be of the finest and there should no lesse come out And bicause it is the first set it a part by it selfe for it is the true beyond sea Azure By this same maner and waie continue to get out the self like azure which shal be the second and set it also a part and you shall get out of it three or foure vnces Keepe this same order and meane in getting out the thirde with this same water alwaies luke warme and that the cold water be skant out sturre it with your foresaide stickes After it shall be at your discretion to get out the fourth whiche is called Cenders or Cinerarius of the colour of ashes and if you wil haue it out the water muste bee somewhat hoter and than it will bee of greye or ashe colour And herein you must wring and presse hard the paste with the stickes and if it wil not come out with the water giue it a little of the fore said lie This done put al the Azures seuerally â—y themselues for the one wil marre another els and specially the last And heere
