❀ Another licour of the colour of Golde, for to wryte and to gylte yron, woode, glasse, bone, and other lyke thynges.

TAke an egge layed the same day that you begin to make this, the whiche egge you shall open at one ende, and take out all the white, than take two partes of quicke syluer, and one parte of salte armoniack, that is cleane, and well beaten: and of these two thinges, you shall put as much vpon the yelk of the egge that remaineth in the shell, as will fyll it vp againe: than mingle well all together with a lyttle sticke. After, stoppe the sayed egge with the piece that you tooke of, closinge it well with a piece of waxe, that nothing may enter into it, nor any thinge issue oute.

Than laye it vnder horse donge, right vp, the open end vpwarde, this doen, take another halfe egge shell, and make as it were a couer or a cappe vpon the sayed bro∣ken ende, coueringe it with dunge, and leaue it so the space of twenty or fiue and twentye dayes, and so shall you haue a very fayre coloure of gold, for to write, and to do what you wyll withall. And if the sayed substance be to harde or to thicke, you may breake it, or temper it with gommed water.
