Of thefe lightly burnt, is made that which is properly called 
GypfumAnd Statues of any defirable bignefs,yet very light. 
A LIME-STONE (Saxum Calcarium) having greeniih 
Veins mixed with a filver glofs. This being burnt, is that 
commonly called QuickzLime. Pliny mentions a mix- 
ture of QuickzLivie and Hogs-Greafe , ufually calPd
