Then taking the _Block_ with _Letter_ in it in his left hand, he places the _Knot-end_ from him, and takes the _Handle_ of the _Dressing-stick_ in his right-Hand, and lays the _Side-Ledge_ of it against the hither side of the _Quadrat_ at the hither end, and the _Bottom-ledge_ against the _Feet_ of the _Letter_, he grasps the _Handle_ of the _Dressing-stick Block_ and all in his left hand, and lays his right-Hand Thumb along the under-side of the _Dressing-stick_ about the middle, and with the Fingers of the same Hand grasps the _Block_, and turning his Hands, _Block_, and _Dressing-stick_ to the right, transfers the _Letter_ in the _Block_ upon the _Dressing-stick_. Then grasping the _Dressing-stick_ by the _Handle_ with his left hand, he with his right-Hand takes the _Dressing-Hook_ by the _Knot_, and lays the inside of the _Hook_ of it against the farther side of the _Quadrat_ at the farther end of the _Stick_, and drawing the _Hook_ and _Letter_ in the _Dressing-stick_ with his left Thumb by the _Knot_ close up toward him, he resting the _Stick_ upon the _Dressing-bench_ that he may _Scrape_ the harder upon the _Beard_ with the Edge of the _Dressing-Knife_, _Scrapes_ off the _Beard_ as near the _Face_ as he dares for fear of spoiling it, and about a Thick _Space_ deep at least into the _Shanck_. If the Bottom and Top are both to be _Bearded_, He transfers the _Letter_ into another _Dressing-stick_, as hath been shewed, and _Beards_ it also as before. ¶. 2. _Some Rules and Circumstances to be observed in_ Dressing _of_ Letters. 1. The _Letter-Dresser_ ought to be furnisht with three or four sorts of _Dressing-sticks_, which differ nothing from one another save in the Height of their _Ledges_. The _Ledges_ of one pair no higher than a _Scaboard_. This pair of _Sticks_ may serve to _Dress_, _Pearl_, _Nomparel_, and _Brevier_. Another pair whose _Ledges_ may be a _Nomparel_ high. And this pair of _Dressing-sticks_ will serve to _Dress_ _Brevier_, _Long-Primmer_, and _Pica_: Another pair whose _Ledges_ may be a _Long-Primmer_ high: And these _Dressing-sticks_ may serve to _Dress_ _Pica_, _English_, _Great-Primmer_, and _Double-Pica_. And if you will another pair of _DresDressing-sticks_, whose _Ledges_ may be an _English_ High: And these _Dressing-sticks_ may serve to _Dress_ all big Bodyed _Letters_, even to the Greatest. 2. As he ought to be furnisht with several sorts of _Dressing-sticks_ as aforesaid: So ought he also to be furnisht with several _Blocks_, whose _Knots_ are to correspond with the Sizes of the _Ledges_ of the _Dressing-sticks_, for the _Dressing_ of several _Bodies_ as aforesaid. 3. He ought to be furnisht with three or four _Dressing-Hooks_, whose _Hooks_ ought to be of the several Depths aforesaid, to fit and suit with the several _Bodyed-Letters_.
