To write Letters of Secret, that they cannot be read without the directions following. Take fine Allum, beat it small, and put a reasonable quantity of it into water, then write with the said water. The work cannot be read, but by steeping your paper in fair running water.
Gather your Codlins half grown, and without Spots, for if they are spotted, they are commonly Worm-eaten; scald them in Water till the Skin will come off easily, then put them again into cold Water, and a small piece of Allum to green in a Brass Pan over the Fire; which they will soon do if they are kept close cover'd.

"We marched after the battle to Delhi, where poor blind old Shah Allum received us, and bestowed all kinds of honors and titles on our General.
