DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY THE PATENTEES, how their Compounded stuff is to be used in Dying.  
IMPRIMIS all Colours to be made or finished with the said Stuff, are to be wrought upon good grounds of Woad, according to the lightness or sadness of the colours that are intended to be made.  
Item, the Cloth, Kersey, Bayes, or whatsoever else to be died, is first to be boiled with Allom and Argall as they use to do for grain colours in half water, and half liquor or Float, and then to be landed, and very well cooled.  
The same must be finished in new float or liquors of Bran and water (such as ordinarily are used for grain Colours) not above one day old, In manner following:  
First, the Lead or Copper being prepared and filled with a quantity of the said Float or liquor proportionable for such things as are purposed to be died, the Cloth or whatsoever else must be mathered, having an allowance of Mather, as followeth.  

For A Cloth for a French Russet of 60. l. weight, being a sad azure in woad,— Four pound.  
For A Violet of the like weight, being a sad watchet in woad,— Three pound.  
For A Purple of the like weight, being a light watchet in woad,— Three pound.  
For A Tawny of the like weight, being a light Azure in woad,— Eight pound.   
And so proportionably for any colours to be died according to the lightness or sadness of their Woads, Provided always, that they be high enough in woad for the colours purposed to be made.  
Then being mathered as aforesaid, they are to be very clean washed, and the Lead or Copper to be prepared with one third part of water according to the quantity of Clothes or other things intended to be finished, And then a quantity of our Compounded stuff to be allowed, as followeth.  

For A French Russet of the weight of 60. l.— Five pound.  
For A Violet of the like weight.— Two pound and a half.  
For A Purple of the like weight.— Two pound.  
For A Tawny of the like weight.— One pound.   
Which Stuffe is to be put into the said third part of Water in the Lead or Copper, stirring the same continually till it boil, which it must do half an hour, and then put to the water, twice as much Float or liquor of a day old, or a day & a half at the most, this liquor must be sweet, and not made upon stolen grounds.  
Then your Lead or Copper being at a moderate or mathering heat, stir about the liquor that the Stuff may not lie at the bottom.  
1 Then shoot in your Clothes putting in the saddest Colours first, for example, first a French Russet giving it 5 or 6 ends over the winch very quick, Then a Violet giving it one or two ends in like sort, Then a Purple etc. when any of the aforesaid Clothes come to their height or sadness, they must be landed, and very well cooled, continuing the fire till the Lead be ready to boil: 2 Their stir about the Liquor and shoot in the Clothes again, and let them be handled 4 or 5 ends over the winch as shallbe thought fit, then let them boil till they have taken the strength of the Stuff, or till they come to the Colours desired, than land them and cool them very well. 3 And if they be once more shot into the Liquor and handled 4 or 5 ends over the winch, they will be the better and fairer.  
Having thus finished any of the foresaid Colours, there may be died in the same Liquors (being refreshed with a little water or Float) Lavender colours, Silver colours, Ash colours, or such like upon very light Woads, the same being boiled in Allom as aforesaid, and not washed out of their Boiling.
