The Ancients used _Beech-Boards_, 1. or _Leaves_, 2. as also _Barks_, 3. of _Trees_; Veteres utebantur _Tabulis Faginis_, 1. aut _Foliis_, 2. ut & _Libris_, 3. _Arborum_; especially of an Egyptian Shrub, which was called _Papyrus_. præsertim Arbusculæ Ægyptiæ, cui nomen erat _Papyrus_.

Now _Paper_ is in use which the _Paper-maker_ maketh in a _Paper-mill_, 4. Nunc _Charta_ est in usu, quam _Chattopœus_ in _mola Papyracea_, 4. conficit of _Linen rags_, 5. stamped to _Mash_, 6. which being taken up in _Frames_, 7. è _Linteis vetustis_, 5. in _Pulmentum_ contusis, 6. quod haustum _Normulis_, 7. he spreadeth into _Sheets_, 8. and setteth them in the Air that they may be dryed. diducit in _Plagulas_, 8. exponitque aëri, ut siccentur.

Twenty-five of these make a _Quire_, 9. twenty Quires a _Ream_, 10. and ten of these a _Bale of Paper_, 11. Harum XXV. faciunt _Scapum_, 9. XX. Scapi _Volumen minus_, 10. horum X. _Volumen majus_, 11.

That which is to last long is written on _Parchment_, 12. Duraturum diu scribitur in _Membrana_, 12.
