Tiffanies to Wash: Take the best crown Soap, and soap them on their Hems, or Laces; and with a gentle Hand pass them over three Lathers, and afterwards rince them, keeping them as much as may be likewise from the Air, and dry them over the Flame of Brimstone: then add a quarter of an ounce of Smalt to a pound of Starch; and if it be con∣venient, add the bigness of a Hazle-nut in Alom, which you may dissolve, boil it to a fineness, and charge it light∣ly upon your Tiffanies and dry them being wet by a Fire, still clapping them in your Hands; and when they are clear, shape them by a Pattern you design them for, iron them with a smooth though quick Iron, till they shine, and you will find little diffe∣rence as to the gloss between them and new. Some, in∣stead of Starch, use Gum∣water: but this I leave to your Discretion.
