CHAP. CCCCXLIV. Of the Exchanges of
London with Lions.
* 1.1LOndon exchangeth with Lions, and giveth posito 61 pence more or less to have in
Lions a Crown of Gold of the Sun of 3 l. piece I demand then for 348 l. 15 shillings sterling, how many
Crowns of the Sun shall I have Credit for in
Lions? First reduce the said sum of pounds sterling into shillings, multiplying the same by 20, and adding thereto 15
shillings, and then by 12 pence, adding thereto the
pence if any were, and then divide the same by 61 pence, and the Divident will make Crowns, multiplying the remainder of the Division by 20 to make them Sols, and by 12 to make them Den. of Gold, and then they make in all Crow. 1372008 Pence of the Sun of Gold, that I shall have in Credit at Lions for the said sum of 348 l. 15 sterling delivered in
London.〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
* 1.2The proof of this rule is manifested when that Lions shall exchange the said sum of 1372⅛ Crowns for London:* 1.3And here also it is to be noted, that the rule is the same when London shall exchange with either Paris or Rouen, or any other City of the
Kingdom of France.
