The preparation of Litharge.

Let the Litharge be ground into very fine pouder in a mortar, then pour cleer water upon it, and stir it up and down till it be troubled and thick, then pour off that water into another vessel, and put in fresh water to the pouder of the stone, 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 up and down till it be thick, and pour that water off to the former; do this so often till nothing but dross remains in the mor∣tar, the thinner substance being all mixed with the water you poured off, let that stand and settle, so will the pure Litharge remain in the bottom, pour the water off gently, dry the Litharge and grind it upon a Mar∣ble so long, till no harshness can be discorned in it by your tongue.
