REASONS For the PLAISTERERS MIXING of COLOURS .

TO explain the mingling of Colours , is not to use Oyl or Varnish , but to use these six Colours in a plain manner , as they have done , and are allowed by primo Jacobi , and ever since hath been adjudged by the Judges of the Land in several Tryals to be the Plaisterers right to use .

To mingle White with Black , to make a Russet darker or lighter , as any man pleaseth to have it ( for whom the Plaisterers or Plaisterer worketh ) to resemble Rustick Stone in Lyme and Hair , to make it of a Stone-Colour , this must be done while it is green , and cannot be done without the mixing of White , Black and Yellow Oker together , that makes a Stone-Colour ; and this we cannot finish in Plaisterers work without it .

As for Painting , we disclaim it within the City and Liberties thereof , only Colouring Plain-walls flat , in our own Colours , and mixing lighter or sadder as our Work-master desireth : for without mixing we cannot make any use of them ; that is , White to make lighter , Black to make it sadder , and to lay a light stroke upon a sad Wall , and a sad stroke upon a light Wall .

Painters do ordinarily use the Plaisterers Trade in Whiting and Colouring : And will it not be unreasonable to take away from the Plaisterers the mixing of those Colours in the ordinary way of Whiting and Colouring ? Is not this to take away from the Plaisterers their whole Trade in effect , and give it to the Painters ? For who will set a Plaisterer at work if he may not have the use of these Colours to make a Door lighter or sadder ? the whole Trade of the Plaisterers in the City consisting of Whiting and Colouring at this time .
