Of the Exchanges of Placentia with Naples.
PLac•…•…ia doth exchange with Naples, and giveth one Crowne of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to have in Na•…•…les Carlins posito 29½; I demand, for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 2400. 10. •…•…0. of Marc. what credit in Ounces shall I have in Naples? Multiply the said Crownes by 29½ Carlins per 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and take the rest of the multiplication to be divided by 〈◊〉〈◊〉•…•…o the end to make them Graines, and they will make Carlins〈◊〉〈◊〉•…•…15, Graines 9. the which to reduce to Ounces, you must cut off the last figure, and take ⅙ of the rest, and it will be Ounces 1180. and the tenth of the remaining Carlins is to be added to the 5 Car∣lins, which is the figure cut off, and they are Carlins 15, which are Taries 7, and there will remaine 1 Carlin, with the 9 Graines, which are Graines 19, and in all are Ounces 1180. 7. 19. to which adde one Carlin per Ounce for the good Money, which is done as hath beene before shewed, when Naples doth exchange with Palermo, and it will make Ounces 1199. 28. 1. And that is the credit that shall be due in the said Naples, good Money being therein com∣prised, as by this Example. 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
The proofe of this account is seene, when Naples doth exchange* 1.1 with Placentia. And note, the account is the same, when Placentia* 1.2 doth exchange with Barri and Lecchie in this Kingdome, the rates onely altering.
