The making of a water lime, a verie good and
a perfect way.
YE shall first wash your birdlime in running water,
that no knots be found therein, nor yet motes, but
pike them out as cleane as ye can in the washing. Then
take and boyle it in a pot or skillet, and in the boyling put
in a little rosome, with some fresh grease, or goose grease,
and so let it boyle softly a pretie space in storing it stil. Then
take off the same lime, and put it to a weat testorne in wa∣ter,
if it come with the lime, it is good, if not, boyle it lon∣ger
vntill ye sée that proofe. Also in stéede of rosom, ye may
take white turpentine, for that is better. And this kinde
of water lime, will holde both in water and frostie wether.
