The Exu or French Lewis goes now in France for 3liv. 16sols & is worth 4s 6d & thence the Livre is worth 1.s 2d∟21. The Lewid'or goes for 14 livres wch come to 8{illeg} 16.s 6d∟94 of oer money. At wch rate a Guinea is worth 1.os. 8d∟18. For as 17s 2$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ to 16.s 6∟94 so is 21s. 6d 10. 20.s 8∟18

The Ducat of gold is coyned in several parts of the Empire & some countries adjoyning & is every where of the same weight & fineneness {sic} vizd excepting that the Hungary Ducats have something better then the rest & thatare more certainly the advantage in goodness of full value, some of the German Ducats are {illeg}t by accident or the unskilfulness of Assaymasters arebeing not so fine as they ought to be. ItThe Ducat is every where coyned for two old Rix Dollers of full value or nine shillings & usually goes at that rate or within two or three Styvers more or less whereas in England it is worth 9s. 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d. But if the Rix Doller be of a lower value (as are the Patagon of Holland the Rix Dollers of Holland, Flanders Danemark &c& several parts of Germany the Ducat may go for two Rix dollers & 6 8 or 10 Styvers or above.

In Holland the Hung Ducat goes usually for 5 Guilders & about 5 styvers that is in oer money for 9s. 1$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{10}}$d: at wch rate a Guinea is worth 20.s 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$d.

The Lewidor goes in Holland for ab 9 Guilders & about 9 styvers that is for 16.s 4d∟77. At wch is 10d less rate a Guinea is worth wch is 10d less then it is worth in England before wearing. At wch rate a Guinea is worth 120.s 5$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

At Dantzick the Ducat is usually vallued at 2 Rix dollers or 9s & at that rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 3d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. And if the Ducat be there sometimes valued at 2 or 3 sols more then two Rixdollers the Guinea will still be worth less then 2os. 7d.

At Hamborough the Ducat goes for two Dollers & about 8 or 9 sols lubs. This Doller is three Marks lubs or of Lubec & a Mark is 16 sols lubs, so that this Doller is 48 sols lubs. But the Alber Doller wth the Cross (wch beforeafter wearing is worth less then 4s 6d) goes for 52 sols lubs & that & therefore the other Doller is worth less then 4s 2d & 2 Dollers 9 sols lubs (the value of a Ducat) are less then 9s {illeg}1d. At wch rate And at this rate a Guiena will be worth less then 20s. 5d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$.¦ Again The Marks & sols lubs are there accounted double to the Marks & sols Dans or of Danemark & the four mark piece or crown of Danemark goes at Hamborough for twoe Marks lubs & by the assay of several pieces is worth 2s. 8d∟4. And therefore three Marks lubs are worth 4.s 0∟d6. This is the value of the Dollercommon Hamborough Doller & two Dollers & {illeg}9 sols (the value of the Ducat) are 8s. 10∟d4. At wch rate a Guinea is worth but 20s.

At Berlin the new Rix Doller with the cross goes for 30{illeg} gross, & they have there another Rix doller wch goes but for 24 gross & so is worth but about 40$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ pencenot worth above 43$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$ pen pence English Exchangers put it at a par with 40 sols of Holland wch make s 41∟64 pence English. And the DUcat goes thereat Berlin for 2$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}$ of these Rix dollers or 9s. 0$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$3d. At wch rate a Guinea is worth {illeg} 20s. 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

The Lewidor of France & spanish Pistole go at Belrlin for between 4$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ & 4$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ of these Rix Dollers, that is between 16.s 1d$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ & 16.s 5d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$. At wch rate a Guinea is worth between 20s. 2$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$d & 20s 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$.

At Geneva the Hungary Ducat was lately valued at 2 Ecus & 2 or 3 sols of France that is at 9s 2d or 9s 3d & the Lewidor at 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ Ecus or 16s 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d At which rate a Guinea is worth about 20s. 10d. There also the Ecu was Lewidor was lately valued at {illeg} 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ Ecus of France or 16s. 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. At wch rate a Guinea is worth 21.s 1.d But gold was thenlately higher in France then at present, wch might also raise the price of Lewidors at Geneva.

At Bulloign in Italy the Piastre of Spain goes or piece of 8, went lately for 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ lires & the spanish Pistole of Spain for 15$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ lires. So{illeg} that the Spanish Pistole is there to 4 Pieces of 8 (or 18s) as 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ to 10 Whence if the Piastre of piece of 8 be recco So that ye Pistole is then recconed worth 3$\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{17}}$ Piastres orwch amounts to 16s {illeg}4s$\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{17}}$, supposing the Piastre worth 4s. 6d. At wch rate a Guinea is worth {illeg} 20s. 5$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

At Venice

But the coynes of the several Principalities of Italy I cannot yet procure in any competent number so as to make a judgment of the proportional value of gold & silver grounded upon experiment.

<64r>

By the French Kings Edict of Sept 17 16 1701, the Marck of fine gold is valued at 494 livres 6 sols 4 deniers & the Marck of fine silver at 32 livres 16 sols seven deniers. According to which proportion a Guinea is worth 20s 8d∟63
