Take glew, let it for some time soke in fair water, then boil it in a pipkin 'till it is quite dissolved, and of a moderate thickness, as it is requisite for a good size. With this, after you have strained your cloth or canvas on a frame, and you rubbed it smooth with a sleek-stone, you size over it; if you add a little honey to your size it will keep it from cracking. When your first priming is dry, then whiten it over with whiting and size, and last of all, when thoroughly dry, paint it all over with a greyish colour of white-lead, and a little black, ground with linseed-oil, and laid on the cloth smooth and even. This being dry, you may then begin to draw on it your design as you intend to paint.,
