CHAP. CCCXXXVII. Of the Exchanges of Rome with the Cities of Valentia, Saragosa, or
Barselona.
* 1.1ROme doth exchange with Valentia, Saragosa, and
Barselona, and giveth 1 Crown of Estam•…•… to have in one of the said places Sols posito 25. den. 6. I demand then for
Crowns 6000 14. 4. of Estampe, what Credit shall
Rome have in one of the said places? To know which, you must multiply the said sum of Crowns of Estampe, by
l. 1. 5. 6. and they will make l. 7650. 18. 3 d. which Rome shall have in Credit in one of the said places, for the said sum of Crowns of Estampe, as shall appear by this Example. 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
* 1.2The Proof this Rule is best seen, when this sum shall be remitted back from these Cities to
Rome; and because that the Calculation to all these three places is made in one and the same manner, I have put them thus together, the price only giving the alteration in Exchange more or less in each City.
