Of the ancient Money and Coyne that was vsed amongst the Graecians and Romans.
FRom what hath beene said, may be gathered, that the Iewes vsed no Coyne but Weights onely, though perhaps to put a distinction betweene those Weights, there was vsed some impression: yet that cannot properly bee said Coyne. But in all other Kingdomes (where money was currant) there was vsed Coyne; and that valued according to the will of command of the Prince or State where it was coyned: which also because of the captiuitie of the Iewes, came amongst them, and past as currant according to their worth; of which Coynes I haue already spoken. Yet because there are many other Coynes and Weights mentioned in the Epistles of the Apostles, which were partly of the Graecians, partly of the Romanes, into which gouernments most of them trauelled; I will therefore endeauor to set before you the valuation of the Graecian and Romane Coynes and Weights reduced ro our valuation and Weights, that so those monies mentioned in the New Testament, and in this Treatise omitted, may with the more facilitie be apprehen∣ded and made plaine vnto you.
