your giuen price which is 5 pence take 48 and diuide and the quotient is 488 pound 7 primes which added together into one sum makes the totall 1661 pound 13 shillings 7 pence Example At 6 shillings 8 pence a pound Cloues what will 3769 pound waite cost diuide by 3 makes 1256 pound 3 primes 1 3 or 6 shillings 8 pence At 22 pence an elle of Holland what 3768 elles cost for 20 pence diuide by 12 makes 314 pound and for 2 pence by 120 makes 31 pound 4 primes or 8 shillings the totall is 345 pound 8 shillings If one elle of Holland cost 20 pence how many elles shall I buy for 345 pound multiply 345 by the price which is ● 12 or by 12 makes 4140 elles the summe desired If one elle of Ozenbrigs cost 8 pence what summe of elles will 78 pound buy me multiply by 30 makes 2340 elles At 15 pence an elle of Canuas how many elles will 100 pound buy multiply by 16 makes 1600 elles If one elle of parchment lace cost 1 penny how many ells shall I haue for 73 pound multiply by 240 makes 17520 elles Example If one Acre of land bee 5 shillings how many Acres may I hire for 132 pound multiply by 4 makes 528 Acres Rules of Practice by the second Table If the price giuen be any number of shillings search in the second Table for the price giuen and by the number there found multiply your number of yards ells pounds or pieces and cut off the last figure with a dash of the penne for primes euery one in value 2 shillings and the product is the sum of pounds and shillings that your giuen number will cost Example At 2 shillings an elle of Holland what will 956 elles cost in the second table ● find the tenth of the number giuen so that if you take the tenth of 956 it is 95 pound 12 shillings onely by cutting off the last figure by a dash of the penne 956 elles at 2s an ell makes 956 or 12s At 7 shillings an ell of Cambricke what will 789 elles cost multiply by 3 1 ∶ 2 or take halfe of the giuen number and multiply the whole number giuen by 3 makes in one summe cutting off the prime line 276 pound 3 shillings Example At 25 shillings a piece Raysons what will 356 pieces cost take alwaies half the number of shillings of your giuen price for your multiplier and worke as before and the product is 456 poued 0 prime Example Also 75032 pieces at 26 shilling a piece If one barrell of Sope cost 47 shillings what will 3584 barrels cost multiply by 23 1 ∶ 2 makes 8422 pound 8 shillings Example At 3 pound 6 shillings a Barrell what will 124 cost If one Acre of land cost 6 pound 8 shillings what will 758 Acres cost multiply by 64 shillings which is halfe the price the product is 4851 pound 4 shillings or two primes How to proue the last question or any other of like kind If one Acre of land cost 6 pound 8 shillings how many Acres shall be bought for 4851 pound 4 shillings diuide your number of pounds and shillings by one halfe of the number of shillings in the price giuen adding a cypher to your number of pounds and the quotient is the number of Acres of land the said summe wil buy at that rate Example The giuen sum is 4851 pound 2 primes or 4 shillings which diuided by halfe the giuen price which is 64 shillings brings into the quotient 758 Acres and so of any other summe A Merchant bought Cambricks cost him 855 pound 18 shillings the question is how many pieces hee had paying for euery piece 27 shillings Answere ad●e a cypher to your number giuen which 855 pound 9 primes makes 85590 which diuide by half the price giuen which is 13 1 ∶ 2 or diuide by 135 the quotient will bee 634 pieces now the reason wherefore a cypher is added to the number giuen hauing 9 primes in it is because I diuide by 13 1 ∶ 2 which hath one fraction and this rule is generall Example What cost 634 pieces at 27 shillings How to prooue one question in the Rules of Practice by working of another If you wil proue any question in the rules of Practice by a second example marke the complement or want of your giuen price from one pound and worke the same number at that price which doth want and the totall of those two summes added together makes the iust number of pounds of the giuen summe Example At 16 shillings a piece of Fustian what will 320 pieces cost Answere multiply by 8 makes 256 pound 0 prime Againe 16 shillings your giuen price wanted 4 shillings of one pound wherefore worke 320 at 4 shillings which is multiplied by 2 primes makes 64 pound 0 prime the totall is 320 pound which prooues the former worke Example At 13 shillings a piece of Lawne what will 752 pieces cost 752 by 6 1 ∶ 2 makes 488 pound 8 primes At 7 shillings a piece what 752 pieces 752 by 3 1 ∶ 2 makes 263 pound 2 primes totall is 752 pound Example Rules of Practice by the third Table the most excellent of all the other The third Table The Aliquot parts of 24. d. part d. part 1 24.

pieces giuen by the number or numbers found in the third Table alwaies cutting the last figure for primes if that any remaine after Diuision it is alwaies lesse then one prime or 2 shillings Example At 3 pence a pound Licoras what will 123728 pound cost Answere for 3 pence in the third Table I find my Diuisor to bee 8 by which I diuide my giuen number makes 1546 pound 6 primes or 12 shillings At 9 pence the pound Ginger what will 8768 pound cost for 6 pence diuide by 4 makes 219 li. 2 primes then for 3 pence the residue of the price diuide by 8 makes 109 pound 6 primes totall is 328 pound 16 shillings Or otherwise diuide by 4 for 6 d. and then take half that product for 3 pence and adde them into one summe as before Example At 11 pence the yard Canuas what will 2356 cost for 8 pence diuide by 3 makes 78 pound 5 primes 1 ∶ 3 or 8 pence and for 3 pence diuide by 8 makes 29 pound 4 primes 1 ∶ 2 or
