To dye black of Flanders (which is black on madder) you need to make first darkened [brun] blue on which, after cooking it with alum & half (of the amount of) tartre or [rasine?] afterwards you boil it in madder.
In the course of an hour & then you dip it again ('repasser').
For one piece of cloth you take 32 aulnes to boil them in alum: 7 [symbol] alum 3 1/2 [symbol] tartre.
To make the vat of woad
for 1000 [#] of good woad & 40 [#] the very good Indico. water 40 caskets [bariles]
To dye black
To dye black
For one piece of cloth of 32 aulnes work. You need to first wet your cloth stirring [?] well without any other additions and you keept it wet, then you put it inot the vat - which should be very hot - in the beginning. Leave it in there for an hour and stir[?] your (cloth) with a stick. When the cloth is dyed take it out of the liquor [??]. Then wash it in the river. Afterwards the whole [..?] is thrown in a vat for 3/4 full of sour water [eau sure] and 1/4 common water, and add 7 alum 3 1/2 tartre you will boil it two hours,
take it out and put it on the drying rack The next morning put it in common water, only luke warm , in which you have put before common madder 40# ('Pipte mather de Hambourg' that comes in the big barrels). This is done as usual. let boil strongly for one hour. All of it has a large boil.
Lond[on]. [...?]
You will have a perfect & durable black.

The indigo alone which the dyers make with common pottashes, and by weighing/passing [?] it with gum can be used to give the ground [coulour] instead of the woad. it needs to be boiled in alum (for the wool) [then dyed with?] the madder and the colour/dye will be very black.
The madder is never done without alum.
