You must first put your Points into a Tent, then take very good Soap, and make a strong Lather therewith, then take a small Brush and dip it therein, and there∣with rub your Point very well on both sides, and con∣tinue so to do, till you have washed it in 4 Lathers, and then wash it in fair Water only, and afterwards in blue Water, and then take some Starch that is made thin with Water, and wash it over on the wrong side, with your Brush, and so let it dry, then lay it upon a Table, and with an Ivory Bodkin made for that purpose, open it in the closest and narrowest parts thereof, then open the Gimp, and Overcast, and also the Islet-holes, and when they are thus opened, you must Iron them on the wrong-side, but before your Water be Warm, that you make your Lather with, and let not your Water, with which you wash them, be too Blue.
