drafs Church Steeple, that was building when I was 
laft there; and alfo for fome Ornaments, as Columns, 
good arched Work, or Imagery fet up in Gardens, it is

the common Brick-Work in a loamy Clay, and plainer 
it over on both Sides with this Mortar, which is yet

Eggs, and four Ounces of Ghee (or ordinary unfalted

be foaked up ; then foften the reft well with plain

or with a fmooth Brick, and ftrewed with a gritty 
Sand, moiftened, as Occafion requires, with Water, or
