CHAP. CCCCXXXVI. Of the Exchanges of
Antwerp with Lions.
* 1.1ANtwerp doth exchange with
Lions, and giveth posito 121⅓ gros. to have in Lions one Crown of the Sun of Gold of 3 l. I demand then for l. 3486. 1. 9. money of Antwerp, how many
Crowns must I have in Lions? First reduce the said sum of Livers into grosses, multiplying the same by
20 and then by 12, adding to the multiplications 1 Sol. and 9
pence, which are with the pounds, and divide by 121⅓
gros. the sum of Grosses which shall come of the said Li∣vers, reducing both them and others into thirds of
Grosses, and of the Division will come Crowns, and multiplying the remainder of the Division by 20 and 12, to make them
Sols and Deniers of Gold, they will make
Crow. 6895. 11. 1. of Gold of the Sun, which you shall have in Lions for the said sum delivered in Antwerp. Example:
