TAke foure vnces of faire Turpentine, sixe vn∣ces of faire Rosin, sixe vnces of clere Pix greca, an vnce of faire Waxe, three quarters of oile of line seede, and seeth it like as the other was in the chapter before: true it is, that it is soner sodden, bicause it is softer, that is to saie, it will make you so∣ner Azure than the firste, whiche is muche stronger, but if you woulde labour for Azure with bothe these pastes, lette the softer bee alwaies the firste, and if the stone be not of perfitest hauing veine of Gold, giue it neuer bothe the pastes: But note, that in these two pastes consisteth the true arte to knowe well the par∣fite beyond sea Azure, for therein lieth the gaine and the losse, and therefore do it diligently and wisely.
