Lions, and giveth posito Sols 118⅓ to have in the said place, one Crown of the Sun of Gold, I demand then for

Sols 185165, the which must be multiplied by 3 to make them
thirds of Sols; likewise bring the Sols 118⅓ into
thirds, multiplying them by 3, and they make 355, for division of the said sum, and by division it will come to be Crowns, and multiplying the remainder of the division by 20 and 12, to make them
Sols and Deniers of Gold, and they will be Crowns
1564. 15. 5. of Gold of the Sun, and so much will be had in
Lions for the said sum of li. 9258. 5 of Millan Money, as by this Example: 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
* 1.2The Proof of the said
Account is seen when that Lions exchangeth with
