Having ground your ceruse in water without gum & put it into a viall glasse with a good quantity of faire water, and being well shaken together let it stand a while, and before it be settled poure off the third part of the water and let it settle. Then poure yet likewise one other third part out of the viall and reserve the last part in the viall still. This water third divided into three parts let stand still till all be settled and the water cleared, then dry it or make the colour being now setled in the bottome dry by evaporating, Then in tempering it with gumme use it at your pleasure. The first part of this colvin Mr Hilliard calls his sattin white, the second his linnen white. The last shines not at all but is reserved for carnations and complesians of pictures. The first shines most, the 2nd lessest.
