To dye gloves

Take the colour suitable for the occasion; if dark take Spanish brown and black earth; if lighter, yellow and whiting; and so on with other colours: mix them with a moderate fire, daub the gloves over with the colour wet, and let them hang till they are dry, then beat out the superfluity of the colour, and smooth them over with a stretching or sleeking stick, reducing them to their proper shape.
