Of the drie measures of Englande, and their comparison with others. Cap. 25.

AS before we sée in the moyst, so doe all our drie measures fetch their originall from the sponefull &c. vntill they come al the gallon: beyonde the which wée haue 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Pecke or farthendeale of a bushell (for that is our Englishe worde for a fourth part) •…•… twoo gallons.

Halfe bushell of foure gallons.

Bushell of eyght gallons, or 64. pounde, Troye.

Strike of two Bushelles or 128. pounded by 16. gallons.

Coome rasor or corn•…•…cke of foure burshell or 256. pounde or 32. gallons.

Quarter or seame of 8. Bushelles or 512. pounde or 64. gallons.

Way, or 6. quarters of 5702. pounde or 384. gallons as by the rule of proportion is easie to be founde.

By these measures also we measure our Mustard séede, Rape séede, Carot rootes, salt, and fruite, notwithstanding that the filling of the Bushell be diuers, sith in Corne, salte, and séedes we strike with a rule, but in Ap∣ples & Rootes we poure them on by heape•…•…▪ This is furthermore to be considered, that although one wheate or barly be heauyer then an other, as the soyle is wette or drie, Barly cōmonly then Otes, Rye then •…•…arly, wheate then Rye. &c. also in liquide wares, Oyle compared with wine, and both wyth hony, yet ye measure framed after the afore∣sayde weightes doth meate them all indiffe∣rently so that the quantitie of the standarde and not the qualitie of ware measured, is al∣wayes to be looked on. In déede it is founde by experience that a lyke measure of wyne Oyle and hony being weighed togither, the Oyle shalbe lighter by a ninth part then the

Page 123

wine, and the hony heauyer then the Wine almost by a thirde. Certes there is nothing that cōmeth néerer the weight of wine then the purest water, and yet one Wine is hea∣uyer then an other as waters also are, of which the most grosse is euer more ye weigh∣tiest. And these thinges haue not béene vn∣knowne in tymes past also vnto the Gre∣cians: for weyghing theyr Culeus of Oyle, it peysed but 1333. pound, 4 oūces, wheras that of Wine came vnto 1481. li. fiue oun∣ces sixe Drachmes and foure Silquas. But of hony vnto 2222. pounde, twoo ounces, 9. Drachmes, one Scriptula. &c. whereof this maye suffice for an admonition to the rea∣der. Nowe let vs see those of the Grecians for my former purpose, whose

Cyathus hath tenne spoonfulles, or an ounce and one Drachme.

Oxybaphon 15. spoonfulles or two ounces and two Drachmes.

Cotyle foure Oxybapha or nine ounces.

Sextarius 2. Cotylas or 18. ounces.

Chenix. 3 Cotylas or 27. ounces, so called bycause that quantitie suffised to finde a man breade for an whole daye.* 1.1

Medimnus or Metretes: 48. Chenices, or 108. pounde.

¶ In lyke sort in Rurall measures their Mystrum hath 2. spoonfulles and an halfe.

Cyathus 4. Mystra, or sixe spoonfulles.

Oxybaphon 4. Mystra 2. ounces 2. Drach∣mes.

Cotyle foure Oxybapha, nyne ounces.

Chenicx 3. Cotylas 27. ounces.

Semiduodecima Medymni 2. Chenicas 4. pounde 6. ounces.

Semisextarius 9. pounde.

Sextarius 18. pounde.

Tertiarius 16. Chenicas 36. pounde.

Semimedymnū 24. Chenicas or 54. pound.

* 1.2Medymnus 28. Chenicas or 108. pound and these of the Gréekes.

Now shall those of the Romaines followe in such order as in sueth.

Cloclearium a spoonefull 3. Drachmes and one Scriptula.

Cyathus 4. spoonefuls one ounce & an halfe, one Drachme one Scriptula.

Acetabulum a Cyathus & an halfe 2. oun∣ces and foure Drachmes.

Hemina or Cotula foure Acetabula or tenne ounces.

Sextarius two Heminas or 20. ounces.

Semodius eyght Sextarios 13. pounde foure ounces.

Modius 16. Sextarios •…•…6. pounde 8. ounces.

These aforesayde measures compared al∣so with our English haue such proportion.

Cyathus as aforesayde, one ounce & eight graines, Englishe.

Cotyle, 6. ounces 48. graines English.

Chenix one pounde 6. ounces, one Drach∣me 64. graines English.

Medymnus 72. pounde, 10. ounces, 32. grains English.

Their Rurall measures conferred with ours.

Chenix a quarte.

Semiduodecima a Pottle & 4. Drachm.

Semisextarius, a gallon and an ounce.

Sextarius, two gallons and two ounces.

Tertiari{us}, foure gallons & foure ounces.

Semimedimnus 6. gallons & halfe a pint.

Medymnus exactly 13. gallons.

Whereby we sée that their lyquide mea∣sure is somewhat greater then the drye by two ounces and thrée Drachmes. Nowe it resteth yt I do the like wt the weightes of the Romaine dry measures, after which I will gyue out the weightes of Venice as Au∣gustinus Pantheus in his de rebus Voarcha∣dumicis and other doe set them downe.

Cyathus one ounce and an halfe.

Semodius, 12. pounde Troy, that is, a gallon and an halfe.

Modius 24. pound, that is, thrée gallons,

And more I remember not at this pre∣sent of their drye measure,

I might here adde other measures of the Hebrues also. But I find such variety in thē as maketh me rather to omit then publishe them in this treatize. And fyrst of all theyr Chor, which signifieth an heape of graine,* 1.3 & is not onely the iust loade of a Camell, but also containeth 30. Modios as Epiphanius doth set downe, notwithstanding that Bude{us} hath 41. Medimmos.* 1.4 The Lethec also (wherof Osee speaketh, saying, Morcede conduxi mihi Lethec hordei. &c.) is al one with the Gomor or halfe Cor, and called Lethec of lifting vp,* 1.5 because a yong man might easely lift it vp to laye it vpon his asse. Their Batos of Oyle,* 1.6 with Epiphanius hath, 50. Sextarios, with Budee 27. The Modius of ye Iues, 22. Sextarios in the first, but in the treatize of this later, only 16. In lyke sorte there is difference in the Cab. as fourth part of the Modius.* 1.7 Also in ye Mansis, or Medimnus, which after Epipha∣nis hath 10. Modios, ye Salanien or Constan∣tinuan 5. Modios and that of Paphos and Si∣cilia, onely 4¼ all which discordances I am not able to reconcile, especially being things of such antiquitie, and therfore I giue vppe to speake any longer of them. Furthermore in turning ouer such old bookes as came vn∣to

Page [unnumbered]

my handes I finde also this note insuyng 6. which

Charette hath 4. graines.

Peny 8 Carettes.

Euery graine of Batement a Peny in Gold, but after Fraunce, Venice, and some other places, they haue but sixe Carettes in the peny, and 4. graines in the Carette, which oddes groweth by the difference of weightes, for beyonde the sea they haue 24. pence in the ounce, which is 4. pence more in value, then the ounce English, after the olde occount of pence. By these Carettes pearles and stones are valued and solde, but not gold, which hath neuerthelesse the name of Carettes in his Pois, but after an other proportion.

Of Weightes of Venice, also Augustinus Pantheus, saith thus.
  • Eximo is the 156. parte of a graine.
  • A graine conteineth 156. Eximos.
  • Charattus or Siliqua 4 graines.
  • Quartus 36. Carattes, or the olde guilden,
  • Ounce 4. quartes. 144. Carattes.
  • Marca or Bes 8. ounces or 1152. Carattes.
  • Marchus 16. ounces, or 2304. Carattes.
  • Rubus 20. Marcas.
  • Posta 40. Marchas, whereof let this suffice, & for the settyng forth of the iust proportion of weights and measures, I hope that which is already spoken shall be ynough.
