The Scented Cfarden 



SCENTED GLOVES 



Divers excellent scents for gloves ', with their -pro-portions, and 

 other circumstances, with the manner of per forming. 



The Violet, the Orenge, the Lemmon duely propor- 

 tioned with other sents, perform this wel : so likewise of 

 Labdanum, Storax, Benjamin. The manner is thus : 

 First lay your amber upon a few coales, till it begin to 

 crack like lime : then let it cool of itself, taking away the 

 coal : then grinde the same with som Yellow ocre, till 

 you perceive a right colour for a glove : with this mixture 

 wash over your glove, with a little haire brush upon a 

 smooth stone in every seame, and all over : then hang 

 your gloves to dry upon a line : then with gummed 

 Dragant dissolved in some Rose-water, and ground with 

 a little oil de Ben, or of sweet Almonds upon a stone : 

 strike over your glove in every place with the gumme and 

 oile so ground together : doe this with a little sponge, but 

 bee sure the gloves bee first thorowly dry and the colour 

 well rubbed and beaten out of the glove, then let them 

 hang again till they be dry, which will bee in short time. 

 Then if you will have your glove to lye smooth and fair in 

 shew, go over it againe with your spunge and the mixture 

 of gumme and oile, and dry the glove yet once againe. 

 Then grind upon your stone two or three graines of good 

 Musk, with halfe a spoonfull of Rose-water ; and with a 

 very little peece of a spunge take up the composition 

 by a little and a little : and so lay it upon your glove, lying 

 upon the stone. Picke and strain your gum Dragagant 

 before you use it, Perfume but the one side of your glove
