if you would number the first upper Line which contains all Nines you must begin at the first Figure of Nine on your left hand look over it and see the denomination of that Figure which is Hundreds of Millions Well then begin thus nine hundred ninety nine Millions nine hundred ninety nine Thousands nine hundred ninety nine which is the denomination of all those nine uppermost Figures in the same manner you must number all the rest This the sum and substance of Numeration Addition Addition is that part of Arithmetick which sheweth to add or collect divers sums or numbers together and to express their total value in one sum as for example suppose the number 4667 and 2568. If you would gather these two sums together 4667 2568 7235 begin at the two first Figures on your Right hand as thus 8 and 7 is 15 then set down your 5 under the 8 and carry 1 to the next Figure always observing this Rule if your Number be above ten or ten you must carry one if twenty you must carry two to the next Figure if thirty carry three if forty carry four in the like manner for all the rest of the Figures or Numbers you meet with Then proceed and say 1 and 6 is 7 7 and 6 is 13 set down your 3 under the second Figure and carry 1 to the next saying 1 and 5 is 6 6 and 6 is 12 set down 2 and carry 1 to the next saying 1 and 2 is 3 3 and 4 is 7 set down your 7 and thus your sum is finished In the same manner you may do any other Sum I 'll give you one example more and so proceed If the number added do amount to 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or any other number of the value of them 897864 346123 521897 462178 2228062 you must set down in the place of the Number added and carry the figure of 1 for 10 of 2 for 20 of 3 for 3● so for any other after the same manner to the next figure Addition of Money Note that 4 Farthings make 1 Penny 12 Pence make 1 Shilling 20 Shillings make 1 Pound Sterling If your sum hath in it Pounds Shillings Pence and Farthings set the Farthings first to your right hand and begin there and if there remain any odd farthings set them down at the line drawn underneath the same line you cast up and carry the Pence to the next line of Pence as for Example l. s. d. q. 67893214 10 03 2 432689 02 06 0 25689 05 00 0 206 10 09 1 68351799 08 06 3 l. s. d. q. 6743 12 00 0 346 00 10 1 78 08 11 2 6 02 06 3 7174 04 04 2 And so likewise for Pence the odd Pence remaining after cast up set down underneath the line drawn and carry the Shillings that were in those Pence to the place of Shillings and likewise the Shillings being cast up the Pounds carry to the place of Pounds but the odd Shillings set down under the line drawn as the Example shews you plainly Now if at any time no odd remains set down a●o now for the Proof of your sum do thus when you have cast up your sum draw a line underneath your uppermost line of your sum and cast up the other line of your sum together then substract that sum from the total sum before cast up and the remainder will be the number you cut off if the sum be true else not Substraction Substraction is that part of Arithmetick which deduceth or taketh one number or sum from another the less from the greater and produces what there remains As suppose you should buy 786785 Sheep and Oxen and you should have sold again 360604 would you know how many there would remain do thus place the greater number from which you would substract and place the lesser number to be substracted under it then draw a line with your Pen underneath as you see in the example 786785 360604 526181 Then take the first Figure towards your right hand in the lowermost line and say 4 from 5 which is the opposite figure and there remains one 0 from 8 and there remains 8 6 from 7 and there remains one always setting the remaining number in the line underneath 0 from 6 and there remains 6 6 from 8 and there ramains 2 2 from 7 and there remains 5. Another example of Substraction I would take 26896 from 34213 34213 66896 ●●7317 and know what there remains Set your Sum then take the lower number from the upper beginning at the first Figure towards your Right Hand 6 from 3 I cannot but 6 from 13 and there remains 7 Observe this Rule always in Substraction for every ten you want in the first place you are to take from the second as here you borrowed 10 in the first place 6 from 3 you could not but 6 from 13 and there remains 1 then carry 1 to the next Figure and say 1 and 9 is 10 10 from 1 I cannot but 10 from 11 and there remains 1 then carry 1 to the next Figure and say 1 and 8 is 9 9 from 2 I cannot but 9 from 12 and there remains 3 set your 3 as in the Example Then carry 1 and say 1 and 6 is 7 7 from 4 I cannot but 7 from 14 and there remains 7 then carry 1 and say 1 and 2 is 3 3 from 3 and there remains o thus your Sum is finished Substraction of Money Place the greatest Number from which the Substraction is to be made in the uppermost line and the number to be substracted or deduced right underneath every Figure of the like kind as Pounds under Pounds Shillings under Shillings Pence under Pence and Farthings under Farthings in this manner Suppose you should borrow the sum of Money following in the upper Line and shall have paid the sum underneath and if you would know how much remains owing substract the lower number from the upper and the number remaining is the sum you owe as thus   l. s. d. q. Lent 789786 17 11 3 Paid 692583 19 10 1 Remains 97202 18 01 2 Proof 789786 17 11 3 The way to prove this is to add the Number you substract and the remaining Number together and they will make the upper Line if the sum be truly wrought Several Examples   l. s. d. Lent 67812345607 10 6 Paid at several times 21261642191 01 0 6897621 03 1 346026 00 3   21268885838 04 4 Remains 46543459769 06 2 The way to do this Sum is to add the three several payments together and place them underneath as you see in the Sum and substract that Line which is added together underneath from the Line at the top and place the remainder underneath the next Line as you see in the sum The proof of your sum is by adding the two lowermost Lines together and if they make the same number as the uppermost Line doth your sum is right but else is wrong this

XXIII Of the Merchants of LONDON MErchandizing may be said to be an Art or Science Invented by Ingenious Man-kind for the Publick Good and Profit of all supplying as was said the Native wants of one place by the abundance of others that do not consume their own Growths Products or Manufactures Such as Negotiate and Traffick this way are called Merchants The things sold or exchanged are Two First Wares or Goods and Secondly Moneys or Coyn which are usually Contracted or Bargained for three ways First When Goods are Exchanged for Goods that is so much of one Sort for like value of another and this is called Bartering usual here in old times and in many places of America Asia and Affrica in these days but in process of time Men finding it too difficult and troublesom to carry about them all things thus Bargained and Truckt for from place to place invented a common Standard or Measure that should countervail and be in value as all other things and be accounted in Payments Satisfaction and Equivalency to all others and this is called Money of Gold Silver or other Metals This use of Money is as old as Abraham but it was not then Coyned but only in Pieces unstampt and since by Authority of Princes it was divided into great and small Pieces and into several and distinct Parts and Denominations and Stampt or Coyned with several Characters denoting the true Weight and Value of the same This was done first by Servius in Rome of Brass whereon was Imprinted the Image of Sheep and Oxen betokening the Wealth and Riches of those days Ten of those Pieces made a Denier or Penny and were called by Latins Denarii This was the Original of Money which afterward came to be Coyned of Silver and Gold Secondly The second way is of Goods for Money and this is termed Bargaining or Buying and Selling This facilitates Merchandizing and to prevent the Inconvenience and Danger of the Carriage of Money about a Man another Medium was found and that was Thirdly Exchanging which is of the giving of so much Money in one place to one who should cause it again to be repay'd in another place by another for him In all Exchanges there is concluded two Payments two Places and four distinct Persons viz. He that payeth in one place and receiveth in another and he that receiveth in the one place and payeth in the other and so no man can remit except there be another to draw nor can any receive except there be another authorized to pay The first of these ways was taught to Mankind by necessity the Second was sound out to facilitate the First and the Third to facilitate the Second Thus was the Original of Exchanges to accommodate Commerce which was first practised without benefit or loss or any other consideration they using to pay the value of the very Sum received but in time it came to be considered that the Party paying loses time and runs a hazard and therefore it was held reasonable that he should have some benefit Hence Exchanges are converted to an Art or Mystery Moneys being remitted for benefit without so much respect to the end of its Original Institution In the first sort the Merchant ought to know the Commodities delivered and received the present value of both the Quality Viz. whether lasting or perishable the Property viz. whether of Natural growth or Artificial And lastly the Quantity Viz. whether plentiful or scarce and in few Lands In the second sort the same things are necessary and also a knowledge how the Things are Bought and Sold whether by Weight as ponderous Goods by Concave or long Measures as Commodities of Length or such as are Solid or Liquid A knowledge of Weights and Measures of the fineness goodness and currant value of Money c. A Merchant is to know what to bargain for how to bargain when to bargain and with whom which comprehends the knowledge of the Commodity Weights and Measures proper Seasons and Credit of the Party bargained with In the third sort there is necessary a knowledge of the fineness goodness and currant value of the Princes Coyn where the Remitter and Party receiving abide a knowledge of the currant Rate of Exchanging of the Par or value for value both according to the Standard of the Country and according to the Valuation of the currant Coyn there passable Then of the Vsance of the Place and a knowledge of the Drawer and Receiver As also the due manner and form of making of all Legal Intimations Protests and other such needful Instruments Circumstances and Observations as are requisite upon default of payment according to the strict and solemn Rules required in a Bill of Exchange These General Heads are not to instruct Merchants but to give a kind of a view of this Noble Calling to others that are Strangers to it More particularly in this Famous City is a great number of Merchants who for Wealth for Stately Houses within the City in Winter and without in Summer for rich Furniture plentiful Tables honourable Living for great
