To take out the markes that are comonly made in the faces of Sclaues, for to knowe them, and also suche as many men carrie vpon their bodies, for diuers causes.

FOr to make suche caracters or markes, thei first drawe the forme or figure of them vpō the flesh: then with a sharpe rasour, thei lance the fleshe vpon the saide marke, muche like vnto cupping that Surgeons do vse, & whan the blood is come out, they take of the pouder of the smoke that Printers do vse, or els of coales beatē very fine, & so rubbe the cut well with it, and then are thei wel & surely marked. Nowe for to take out these markes, you muste cut open the flesh again & in steede of the foresaid pouder or coales, you shal put into the place some Blanc rasil well pulue∣rised, or els some floure of wheate well blu••ted or sif∣ted, and let it so drie, & by this meanes all the markes well go awaie, be the blewe or black, and the place al nete and as faire as euer it was.
