intend_v to_o draw_v on_o very_o thin_a while_o the_o water_n be_v hot_a in_o the_o wet_a of_o it_o be_v as_o nimble_a as_o you_o can_v and_o this_o will_v prevent_v it_o from_o sink_v the_o manner_n how_o to_o draw_v with_o water_n colour_n upon_o satin_n take_v ize_a glass_n and_o steep_a it_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n in_o water_n then_o boil_v it_o in_o spirit_n of_o wine_n until_o it_o

in_o grind_a ultramarine_n and_o other_o colour_n that_o your_o motion_n be_v not_o too_o swift_a but_o grind_v it_o gentle_a and_o slow_a because_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o motion_n cause_v the_o stone_n to_o heat_n by_o which_o consequence_n your_o colour_n will_v starve_v or_o loose_v something_o of_o its_o lustre_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v a_o colour_n of_o no_o great_a body_n as_o pinck_n and_o indigo_n etc._n etc._n observe_v in_o grind_v white_a that_o you_o grind_v it_o not_o too_o much_o lest_o it_o prove_v greasy_a or_o oily_a or_o of_o a_o dirty_a colour_n how_o to_o prepare_v

you_o temper_v it_o in_o your_o shell_n use_v a_o drop_n or_o two_o of_o white_a onion_n water_n which_o will_v preserve_v it_o from_o crackle_v the_o art_n of_o etch_v the_o ground_n and_o rule_n of_o etch_v before_o that_o you_o begin_v to_o etch_v upon_o copper_n it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o practice_v the_o art_n of_o draw_v till_o you_o be_v able_a if_o need_v require_v to_o draw_v any_o head_n after_o the_o life_n or_o to_o draw_v a_o design_n for_o if_o you_o intend_v to_o practise_v the_o art_n of_o etch_v you_o will_v find_v it_o very_o profitable_a to_o draw_v after_o good_a print_n which_o be_v well_o design_v and_o grave_v and_o when_o you_o have_v practise_v so_o long_o that_o you_o be_v able_a to_o copy_n any_o print_n or_o draw_v very_o exact_o then_o draw_v after_o good_a head_n of_o plaster_n or_o figure_n according_a to_o your_o own_o fancy_n which_o will_v learn_v you_o to_o shadow_v according_a to_o art_n if_o well_o observe_v therefore_o be_v sure_a when_o you_o draw_v after_o plaster_n to_o observe_v very_o exact_o to_o take_v the_o true_a outlines_n or_o circumference_n and_o then_o take_v notice_n how_o the_o shadow_n fall_v then_o shadow_v it_o very_o faint_a and_o soft_a where_o need_n require_v the_o print_n which_o i_o recommend_v unto_o you_o as_o absolute_o the_o best_a to_o learn_v to_o etch_v or_o grave_a after_o be_v the_o

of_o goldshis_n or_o muller_n and_o when_o you_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o that_o perfection_n and_o can_v draw_v very_o well_o after_o plaster_n you_o may_v practice_v to_o draw_v after_o the_o life_n
