per Duc. shall one have credit in Venice? To do this then, first take the ¼ of the said sum of Livers to reduce them into Crowns of 4 l. and they will make Crowns 2085.
3. 0. the which by l. 7. 6. 6. per Crowns, which are the said Sol. 146½, and of the Product thereof will come
l. 15273. 14. 6. which must be re∣duced to Ducats, dividing them by 124, the price of the Ducat of 6 l. 4 Sol. and multiplying the rest of the Division by 24, to bring them into
Grosses, because that 24 Grosses maketh one
Ducat; and by thus working, the same will be Ducats 2463. ½ and so many Ducats of lib. 6⅕ shall you have credit in Banco for at Venice; as for Example:
