Here are four several Tables, one for a Day, the second for a Week, the third for a Month, the fourth for a Year. As to know what the expence of one Farthing a Day is for one Week together, to wit, one Penny three Farthings a Day is for one Week together, to wit, one Penny three Farthings; for a Month, seven Pence; and for a Year, seven Shillings, seven Pence, and one Farthing. And this is to be observed That so many Pence by the Day, make by the Year just so many Pounds, half Pounds and Groats, as seven Pence a day is by the Year, seven Pounds, seven-half Pounds, and seven Groats.
