Made by M. Robert Recorde, D. in Physick, and afterwards augmented by M. Iohn Dee. And now lately diligently corrected, [and] beautified with some new rules and necessarie additions: and further endowed with a thirde part, of rules of practize, abridged into a briefer methode than hitherto hath bene published: with diverse such necessary rules, as are incident to the trade of merchandize. Whereunto are also added diuers tables [and] instructions ...

that_o statute_n whereby_o you_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o statute_n be_v acre_n a_o acre_n that_o one_o acre_n shall_v contain_v 160_o square_a perch_n now_o let_v i_o hear_v you_o answer_v to_o the_o question_n scholar_n as_o i_o perceive_v by_o the_o word_n of_o that_o statute_n a_o perch_n to_o be_v 1_o 160_o of_o a_o acre_n so_o can_v i_o make_v those_o number_n all_o

question_n in_o form_n then_o do_v i_o multiply_v 40_o by_o 4_o and_o it_o make_v 160_o which_o i_o divide_v by_o 13_o and_o the_o quotient_n be_v 12_o 4_o 1●_n ma._n now_o turn_v that_o 4_o 1●_n

ma._n that_o be_v often_o true_a but_o not_o general_o as_o i_o have_v by_o conference_n try_v diverslye_o but_o in_o this_o statute_n the_o french_a book_n be_v most_o corrupt_a in_o all_o other_o

ready_a money_n the_o ¼_n at_o two_o month_n the_o ½_n at_o four_o month_n and_o the_o rest_n at_o a_o year_n the_o question_n be_v if_o he_o will_v pay_v all_o at_o one_o payment_n what_o time_n
