* 1.1PAlermo and
Mesina doth Exchange with Lions, and giveth
posito 28 Carlins to have in Lions a Crown of the Sun, I demand then for ounces 2189. 25. 17, how many
Crowns must I have in Lions? First, multiply the
ounces by 30, to make them Taries, adding thereto the 25
Taries, and multiply the Taries that will come thereof by 20 to bring them into Grains, and add there∣to 17 which are with the
ounces, and then they will be Grains 1313917; do the same likewise with the 28 Carlins, multiplying them by 10, because the
Carlin is worth 10 Grains, and they will be 280
Grains, the which must be taken for divisor against the said Grains come from the ounces 2189. 25. 17, and from the division will come Crowns of the Sun, and multiplying the remainder by 20, and then by 12, to make them Sols and Deniers of Gold, and they will be Crow. 4692. 11. 2; As for Example:
