how_o many_o sort_n of_o gold_n there_o be_v and_o how_o gold_n be_v proper_o form_v r._n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o gold_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o white_a gold_n which_o have_v the_o weight_n

second_o sort_n of_o gold_n be_v of_o a_o pale_a yellow_a colour_n 3._o the_o three_o sort_n be_v a_o high_a yellow_a colour_a gold_n but_o how_o little_a the_o tincture_n or_o colour_n do_v that_o be_v in_o gold_n we_o may_v perceive_v from_o what_o follow_v 1._o in_o that_o the_o first_o fort_n viz._n the_o white_a gold_n in_o its_o substance_n be_v as_o ponderous_a as_o any_o other_o gold_n from_o which_o hint_n or_o instance_n we_o may_v see_v how_o little_a the_o colour_n conduce_v to_o the_o be_v of_o gold_n see_v it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o or_o very_o hardly_o to_o be_v perceive_v in_o its_o weight_n and_o substance_n 2._o and_o this_o also_o appear_v yet_o further_o from_o this_o new_a instance_n viz._n when_o we_o take_v notice_n how_o full_a and_o plain_a a_o yellow_a

and_o not_o the_o least_o part_n of_o the_o white_a colour_n can_v be_v perceive_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o milk_n nor_o yet_o be_v the_o weight_n or_o ponderosity_n thereof_o sensible_o increase_v by_o the_o saffron_n moreover_o some_o handicraft_n man_n as_o guilder_n and_o gold-beater_n will_v be_v able_a to_o give_v we_o full_a information_n by_o what_o mean_v they_o bring_v the_o two_o first_o sort_n of_o gold_n viz._n the_o white_a and_o pale_a yellow_a to_o a_o high_a yellow_a such_o as_o the_o three_o sort_n of_o gold_n have_v to_o which_o end_n they_o make_v use_v of_o divers_a

wherefore_o their_o use_n be_v to_o melt_v their_o gold_n several_a time_n with_o antimony_n and_o as_o often_o blow_v it_o off_o again_o and_o thus_o they_o give_v their_o gold_n a_o high_a yellow_a colour_n as_o be_v say_v before_o now_o as_o to_o the_o ting_a and_o colour_n of_o gold_n it_o be_v very_o well_o worth_a our_o further_a take_v notice_n viz._n 1._o that_o the_o tincture_n of_o gold_n thus_o colour_v by_o art_n be_v so_o unite_a with_o it_o that_o with_o fire_n alone_o it_o can_v never_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o gold_n no_o more_o than_o its_o natural_a colour_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o 2._o that_o a_o imperfect_a mineral_n or_o metal_n which_o have_v not_o yet_o obtain_v a_o perfect_a body_n such_o as_o antimony_n or_o copper_n be_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o perfect_a tincture_n to_o a_o perfect_a body_n 3._o that_o the_o gold_n take_v in_o no_o more_o tincture_n than_o it_o have_v need_v of_o and_o belong_v to_o it_o so_o that_o notwithstanding_o its_o being_n never_o so_o often_o melt_v with_o antimony_n or_o copper_n yet_o it_o do_v never_o attain_v to_o a_o high_a colour_n than_o its_o pitch_n be_v 4._o now_o see_v that_o pale_a gold_n as_o have_v be_v say_v which_o either_o have_v lose_v its_o colour_n or_o not_o yet_o attain_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v good_a gold_n may_v receive_v a_o high_a tincture_n which_o have_v a_o sure_a and_o firm_a union_n with_o the_o gold_n upon_o this_o ground_n many_o have_v endeavour_v to_o separate_v the_o colour_n together_o with_o that_o part_n of_o the_o gold_n which_o be_v and_o must_v necessary_o be_v unite_v to_o it_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o form_n of_o gold_n the_o expert_a refiner_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v able_a to_o give_v we_o some_o information_n for_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o city_n of_o great_a trade_n and_o commerce_n where_o much_o wrought_v silver_n be_v melt_v down_o in_o order_n to_o make_v essay_n for_o coin_v or_o minting_n when_o some_o of_o they_o meet_v with_o old_a silver_n saltseller_n in_o which_o salt_n have_v stand_v a_o long_a while_n so_o that_o they_o be_v become_v black_a on_o the_o inside_n and_o deep_o

little_a gold_n be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o the_o salt_n have_v unite_v part_n of_o the_o copper_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o silver_n by_o a_o long_a and_o natural_a operation_n with_o the_o say_a silver_n 18_o q._n what_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o be_v say_v be_v not_o by_o fire_n upon_o the_o test_n turn_v to_o glass_n as_o other_o metal_n be_v r._n for_o that_o they_o have_v a_o perfect_a form_n which_o the_o lead_n by_o his_o vitrify_a property_n can_v break_v as_o he_o do_v in_o other_o metal_n wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o lead_n be_v make_v use_n of_o on_o the_o test_n as_o the_o tryer_n of_o all_o metal_n 19_o q._n how_o do_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o lead_n in_o a_o less_o fire_n be_v turn_v to_o glass_n and_o in_o a_o strong_a be_v again_o change_v into_o lead_n r._n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v this_o when_o we_o turn_v a_o hundred_o pound_n of_o lead_n into_o minium_n or_o red-lead_a we_o find_v that_o the_o say_v hundred_o pound_n be_v augment_v ten_o pound_n viz._n when_o the_o calx_fw-la of_o lead_n be_v ground_n to_o powder_n and_o afterward_o expose_v to_o a_o small_a fire_n the_o lead_n borrow_v part_n of_o its_o weight_n from_o the_o fire_n in_o which_o it_o be_v calcine_v and_o part_n from_o the_o water_n in_o which_o it_o be_v ground_n and_o each_o of_o these_o two_o several_o and_o both_o of_o they_o joint_o do_v help_n to_o turn_v the_o easy_a melt_a lead_n to_o glass_n because_o the_o fire_n be_v natural_o and_o easy_o reduce_v to_o a_o body_n in_o lead_n by_o which_o mean_v it_o also_o
