Multiply the said Crowns by 29½ Carlins per Crown, and take the rest of the multiplication to be divided by 10, to the end to make them Grains, and they will make Carlins 70815, Grains 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 Carlins, which is the figure cut off, and they are Carlins 15, which are Taries 7, and there will remain 1 Carlin, with the 9 Grains, which are Grains 19, and in all are Ounces 1180. 7. 19. to which add one Carlin per Ounce for the good Money, which done as hath been before shewed, when Naples doth exchange with Palermo, and it will make Ounces 1199. 28. 1.
