Crowns of the Sun, which Lions doth remit to Barselona, how many Livers shall I have? To do which, you must multiply the abovesaid sum of Crowns, by l. 1. 2. 8. which is 22. 8 d. beginning to multiply by the Deniers, and then by the Sols, which are annexed to the Crowns, and the sum will come to 8865. 12. 10. which you shall have in Barselona for the said sum of Crowns of the Sun. For Example; 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉

* 1.2The proof of the said account will appear, when Barselona exchangeth back with Lions.

* 1.3It will not be needful I should propound here any Examples when Lions exchangeth with Valentia and Saragosa, seeing that the account is the same as with Barselona abovesaid, and this is as much as I conceive requisite concerning the Exchanges of Lions with other places, to which I could add sundry Remittances and Draughts in Exchange hence made to other places, with other such circumstances: but here being matter enough set down, to exercise the Pen and Head of the Ingenious, and of him that will study the Art and Mystery of the Exchanges of this place, I will only add a word of the Orders and Commissions, given and received here in Exchanges, and an Example for Explanation thereof, and leave the rest to the considera∣tion of the studious.
