   Next the green skin was peeled off them until there was nothing left but the long white taper that is inside.
   Afterwards some fat is melted in a grisset. This grisset is an iron instrument in the shape of a boat with three iron legs and an iron handle.
   Next the rushes are laid across the grisset of tallow.
   Next they are taken out and moulded into a round shape like a candle.
   Then they are left there until they are hard enough to be put into the candle-stick.
   Of course these candles could not be expected to be as good as the ones that are in use now.
