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 ...

for_o if_o you_o will_v reduce_v any_o sum_n of_o a_o gross_a denomination_n subtle_a to_o reduce_v gross_a denomination_n to_o subtle_a into_o a_o sum_n of_o a_o small_a or_o subtle_a denomination_n you_o must_v consider_v how_o many_o of_o that_o subtle_a denomination_n do_v make_v one_o of_o the_o grosser_n denomination_n and_o by_o that_o number_n or_o numerator_n do_v you_o multiply_v the_o other_o sum_n as_o if_o you_o will_v reduce_v 20_o pound_n into_o shilling_n you_o must_v consider_v that_o in_o a_o pound_n be_v include_v 20_o shilling_n therefore_o multiply_v the_o one_o 20_o by_o the_o other_o 20_o and_o there_o will_v amount_v 400_o whereby_o you_o may_v know_v that_o in_o 20_o pound_n be_v contain_v 400_o shilling_n likewise_o if_o you_o will_v reduce_v 30_o shilling_n into_o penny_n consider_v that_o in_o 1._o shilling_n be_v 12_o penny_n you_o must_v multiply_v 30_o by_o 12_o and_o it_o will_v be_v 360_o whereby_o you_o find_v that_o in_o 30_o shilling_n be_v

same_o shall_v serve_v you_o if_o you_o will_v reduce_v any_o sum_n of_o a_o subtle_a denomination_n gross_a to_o reduce_v subtle_a denomination_n to_o gross_a into_o a_o sum_n of_o a_o grosser_n denomination_n for_o in_o such_o reduction_n you_o must_v consider_v as_o in_o the_o other_o form_n how_o many_o of_o the_o small_a do_v make_v the_o great_a and_o by_o that_o number_n must_v you_o divide_v the_o other_o sum_n and_o the_o quotient_n will_v declare_v how_o many_o of_o the_o great_a denomination_n be_v comprehend_v in_o that_o sum_n as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o will_v know_v how_o many_o shilling_n be_v contain_v in_o 3240_o penny_n consider_v that_o 12_o penny_n do_v make_v 1_o shilling_n you_o must_v divide_v that_o 3240_o by_o 12_o and_o your_o quotient_n will_v be_v 270_o whereby_o you_o know_v that_o so_o many_o shilling_n be_v in_o 3240_o penny_n but_o and_o you_o will_v know_v far_o how_o many_o pound_n be_v in_o those_o 270_o shilling_n sé_v that_o every_o pound_n contain_v 20_o shilling_n divide_v that_o 270_o by_o 30_o and_o it_o will_v be_v 13_o and_z 10_o remain_v whereby_o you_o may_v know_v that_o in_o 3240_o penny_n or_o 270_o shilling_n be_v 13_o pound_n and_o 10_o shilling_n for_o evermore_o the_o remainder_n must_v be_v name_v by_o the_o name_n or_o denomination_n of_o the_o sum_n that_o be_v divide_v which_o in_o this_o place_n be_v

first_o and_o chief_a be_v because_o they_o be_v

not_o corrant_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n an_o other_o cause_n be_v by_o reason_n they_o be_v so_o uncertain_a that_o they_o be_v never_o long_a at_o one_o rate_n and_o again_o they_o

call_v sowse_n go_v 9_o to_o our_o shilling_n and_o 9_o of_o their_o frankes_n to_o a_o english_a pound_n of_o money_n so_o that_o 3_o of_o their_o frank_n make_v a_o noble_a and_o by_o those_o 3_o may_v you_o practice_v how_o to_o reduce_v french_a money_n into_o english_a money_n and_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o coin_n i_o will_v omit_v till_o a_o other_o time_n when_o i_o intend_v

come_v as_o for_o example_n if_o i_o will_v reduce_v 368_o double_a stiver_n into_o english_a money_n consider_v that_o a_o double_a stiver_n contain_v 131_o d_o q_o you_o shall_v first_o look_v how_o

many_o farthing_n be_v in_o 1_o shilling_n and_o then_o will_v the_o quotient_a declare_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o shilling_n likewise_o if_o you_o will_v reduce_v any_o sum_n of_o single_a styver_n into_o english_a money_n you_o must_v multiply_v the_o sum_n first_o by_o 13_o &_o then_o have_v you_o a_o certain_a sum_n which_o sum_n if_o you_o divide_v by_o 8_o then_o will_v amount_v the_o sum_n
