snail_n do_v we_o admire_v but_o those_o which_o be_v extraordinary_a for_o their_o colour_n it_o be_v in_o those_o thing_n and_o as_o much_o difference_n as_o be_v between_o a_o beautiful_a lady_n

show_v the_o more_o natural_o and_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v be_v sure_a to_o let_v your_o shadow_n be_v very_o dark_a for_o without_o a_o dark_a shadow_n you_o can_v make_v no_o lively_a work_n now_o for_o the_o fold_n of_o your_o leave_n or_o flower_n there_o must_v be_v a_o place_n for_o shadow_n but_o that_o must_v be_v begin_v with_o a_o middling_a colour_n and_o fall_v very_a light_n with_o

with_o any_o thing_n you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o shadow_v your_o stalk_n with_o black_a where_o you_o find_v any_o part_n of_o any_o thing_n to_o lie_v over_o it_o and_o in_o all_o dark_a place_n be_v sure_a to_o begin_v your_o shadow_n with_o black_n this_o kind_n of_o work_n i_o have_v wrought_v often_o upon_o demity_n and_o have_v wrought_v thereon_o with_o worsted_n cruel_a and_o mohair_n in_o all_o sort_n of_o stitche_n all_o kind_n of_o shadow_n and_o many_o fancy_n which_o be_v after_o my_o own_o fancy_n not_o at_o all_o to_o imitate_v other_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o

if_o it_o be_v clean_o wrought_v be_v use_v several_a year_n before_o it_o be_v wash_v as_o have_v be_v prove_v it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o give_v you_o some_o direction_n for_o the_o wash_n of_o it_o first_o make_v a_o strong_a ladder_n with_o soap_n and_o good_a water_n reasonable_a warm_a then_o lie_v one_o of_o your_o curtain_n upon_o a_o table_n and_o with_o a_o brush_n and_o some_o of_o this_o ladder_n rub_v it_o very_o well_o all_o over_o and_o do_v so_o ill_o three_o ladder_n be_v spend_v then_o pour_v on_o good_a store_n of_o fair_a water_n to_o rinse_v it_o very_o well_o then_o hang_v it_o to_o dry_a from_o the_o sun_n with_o the_o wrong-side_n outward_a and_o as_o it_o dry_v pluck_v it_o out_o and_o smooth_v it_o and_o fold_v it_o up_o and_o then_o hang_v it_o out_o again_o and_o so_o do_v till_o it_o be_v quite_o dry_a there_o be_v no_o colour_n but_o will_v hold_v if_o you_o do_v wash_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n but_o if_o you_o do_v rub_v the_o soap_n upon_o it_o that_o will_v change_v the_o colour_n the_o best_a line_n for_o these_o bed_n be_v changeable_a sarsnet_n or_o ducape_v for_o that_o will_v agree_v with_o any_o of_o your_o shadow_n and_o it_o be_v as_o cheap_a as_o any_o thing_n to_o embroider_v petticoat_n bodice_n or_o belt_n when_o your_o pattern_n be_v draw_v form_v it_o about_o with_o black_a gimp_n or_o other_o which_o you_o do_v fancy_n best_o and_o fill_v the_o leave_n and_o under-part_n of_o the_o flower_n with_o saxen-stich_n some_o dark_a and_o some_o light_a then_o for_o the_o upper-part_n and_o seed_n of_o flower_n let_v they_o be_v do_v with_o high-work_n as_o purple-stich_n and_o such_o like_a and_o let_v your_o stalk_n be_v all_o alike_o with_o a_o great_a gimp_n twist_v your_o flower_n may_v be_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o shadow_n as_o you_o fancy_n and_o if_o you_o shadow_v they_o well_o they_o will_v look_v very_o natural_o thus_o you_o may_v go_v fine_a and_o with_o less_o cost_n than_o if_o you_o buy_v good_a lace_n it_o be_v more_o commendable_a a_o great_a deal_n to_o wear_v one_o own_o work_n than_o to_o be_v make_v fine_a with_o the_o art_n of_o other_o and_o though_o one_o may_v be_v envy_v for_o it_o yet_o none_o can_v have_v so_o just_a a_o quarrel_n against_o they_o because_o it_o be_v their_o ingenuity_n and_o beside_o it_o argue_v that_o person_n not_o to_o be_v idle_a but_o rather_o a_o good_a housewife_n any_o fool_n may_v be_v make_v fine_a with_o cost_n but_o give_v i_o those_o who_o can_v be_v neat_a and_o noble_o habit_v with_o but_o a_o reasonable_a charge_n the_o world_n be_v grow_v very_o fine_a of_o late_a year_n but_o it_o be_v with_o so_o much_o charge_n together_o with_o so_o ill_a a_o fancy_n some_o have_v in_o choose_v thing_n that_o they_o look_v more_o like_a stage-player_n than_o fit_a to_o come_v into_o any_o church_n or_o civil_a place_n some_o will_v plead_v ignorance_n not_o know_v how_o to_o do_v these_o thing_n but_o that_o be_v a_o
