That which comes from Holland is the best for this purpose, and soe is the shell gold, being dry and burnisht with the small tooth of a weaseU fastned into a stick. Then temper a shadowe for your Armour with Silver, Indico, and a little Litmus, or dash of Lake, and worke your shadowes upon and over vour silver, ac- cording to the Life, which must bee laid before you. The heigthnings are to bee left, not made, being the bright burnisht silver ; the deepning, the deepest of your shadow, the thinn...er parte where of with some silver must be sweetly and neatly wrought into the ground of silver laid at first, And for gold you may lay a flat ground with English Oaker. Temper withliquid Gold, yet there is a stone growing in the gaU of an Oxe, that being ground and temperd with Gold, is excellent for all Gold workes, and gives a very good lustre, the deepning being made with Lake and burnt Umber, the heigthning of pure Gold. The manner of working I shall tell you within a few leaves as I had it from old M' Hillyard.
