Of the Exchange of Lions with Antuerpe.

LIons exchangeth with Antuerpe, and giveth one Crowne of the * 1.1 Sunne to have in Antuerpe posito 121 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Grosse; I demand then, how many Livers of Grosses I shall have there, for Cro. 6895. 11. 3. To doe which, I multiply the said summe by the said 121 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Grosse, and it giveth Grosses 836661, out of which take 〈◊〉〈◊〉, to make them Sols, and they make Sols 69721. 9. which to make into Livers, you must cut the two last figures, & take the ½ of the others, and it will come to li. 3486. 1. 9. of Grosses, which I should have in the said place of Antuerpe, for the above-mentioned summe of Crownes of the Sunne: as by Example, 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉

The proofe of the said account will appeare, when that Antuerpe exchangeth with Lions: and therein it is to be noted, that in the meaner of the Exchange that Lions maketh with Antuerpe, the cal∣culation will serve in the same manner with Colonia; because the same Monyes are used in Exchanges in the said Citie of Colonia as in Antuerpe, and the same also is in use in Amsterdam, and through∣out the Netherlands.
