To dye linnen with crampenade.
To every 3 ells of linnen use 1 pound of crampenade, and 6 quarts of water; let it over a fire 'till it begins to seeth, then put in 2 ounces of galls, and afterwards your linnen; then take it out often, and wring it, and put it into alum water: but if you would have the colour darker, you ought to have a lye of unflak'd lime or chalk-stones.

To dye linnen thread or cloth, a good red.
Soak a pound of samfleur 24 hours in 2 gallons of water, heating it over a gentle fire; then add half a pound of rasp'd Brazils a ounces of vermilion, and an ounce of alum dissolv'd in fair water, dip the linnen, and order it as other things.
