Let your Frame or other matter intended, be set on a Hazle, place the Leaf Gold o•• a Cushion to be held in your left hand with the Pallat and Pencil, you must for this work have a Swans-Quill Pencil, or a larger of Camels hair, if the Work require it, dip it in Wa∣ter, and wet no more of your Frame at a time than will take up three or four Leaves, make your beginning at the lower end, and so proceed upwards, laying on whole leaves or half ones, as it requires, then wet such another part of your work, and lay on the Gold with your Pencil or Cotton, gently pres∣sing it very close; and having Gilded the upright sides, turn

the Frame, and proceed the same way with the ends, then survey the spots and places that are omitted, and cut small parts of Gold to cover them, when wetted with a smaller Pencil than before, when it is so finish∣ed let it stand till the next day that time you leave off.
