A28293	Rules for assizing of bread viz. by troy-weight, or sterling, and by avoirdupoids weights : together with the rule of coequality of both weights, and the assize by a standard-weight for white, wheaten, and household loaves, assized by a certain price, rising and lowering, as the price of wheat rises and falls in the market : all three calculated exactly according to the statute Assiza panis 51.H.3. now in force in Ireland.

demonstrate_v by_o the_o assize_n insert_v in_o the_o statute_n 51_o h._n 3._o where_o you_o will_v find_v that_o household_n bread_n be_v to_o weigh_v in_o its_o proportion_n as_o much_o as_o the_o

such_o a_o trial_n be_v ridiculous_a but_o if_o the_o baker_n keep_v the_o 3_o sort_n of_o corn_n unmixed_a and_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o 1200_o viz._n 400_o for_o household_n he_o have_v to_o 20_o

cost_n and_o these_o 4._o 3_o and_o 2_o hundred_o make_v but_o 900_o so_o that_o the_o baker_n have_v 300_o weight_n of_o flower_n and_o bran_n leave_v to_o himself_o for_o his_o profit_n and_o 6_o s._n allowance_n i_o know_v they_o will_v answer_v that_o my_o proposition_n be_v not_o certain_a and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v 200_o weight_n of_o white_a in_o the_o 1200_o nor_o 300_o of_o wheaten_n and_o therefore_o will_v insist_v for_o a_o trial_n to_o which_o i_o have_v no_o further_o to_o reply_n but_o that_o i_o do_v real_o believe_v that_o it_o will_v be_v as_o difficult_a for_o a_o private_a man_n who_o know_v not_o the_o art_n of_o bake_v to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o several_a sort_n of_o corn_n as_o to_o another_o who_o never_o understand_v metal_n to_o mix_v they_o so_o

with_o the_o baker_n for_o when_o they_o have_v sort_v their_o 3_o quarter_n or_o 1200_o weight_n of_o meal_n and_o place_v 200_o for_o white_a 300_o for_o wheaten_n and_o 400_o for_o household_n if_o they_o mix_v half_o a_o hundred_o of_o the_o wheaten_n to_o the_o 200_o of_o white_a and_o the_o like_a of_o the_o household_n to_o the_o wheaten_n and_o as_o much_o of_o the_o remain_a part_n or_o fine_a bran_n to_o the_o household_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o this_o mixture_n but_o themselves_o who_o be_v the_o godfathers_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o give_v it_o what_o name_v they_o please_v as_o some_o goldsmith_n who_o have_v call_v sterling_a a_o second_o sort_n of_o silver_n allay_v with_o one_o five_o part_n of_o copper_n althô_o the_o sterling_a be_v not_o to_o bear_v above_o the_o 20_o part_n of_o allay_n all_o these_o mixture_n add_v always_o to_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o baker_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o advantageous_a trial_n for_o the_o public_a
