Take a pd of Oyle of Olive, 1 pd of Red=Lead
1 pd of white:lead pounded to dust 13 Ounces of
Spanish Soape, incorporate all well together in an
earthen pott well glazed, then set it over a small fire
of Coals an hour & a half, still stirring it with an
Iron but then you must let your fire be something
bigger, then let it ^boyle till it be ready, & you shall know
when it is enough it will not cleave to a Trencher, & it will
look darker then Oyle a litle, Iit is a very good
seircloth it will last 20 years
