Worse $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ full, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ full, 1$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ scant, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$, 1$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ full, $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ scant, $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$, $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$legr. In the Ingot they are found almost always $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$legr worse, sometimes $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ or $\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ worse tho but seldome. They may be recconed generally (one with another) $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$legr worse, & 4dwt 8gr weight new out of the mint & 4dwt. 7gr as they are received in the market after wearing filing & clipping & culling or perhaps 4dwt 6gr

Lewises

The assays of 10 silver Lewises were as follows with the year of their coynage 1651, worse 2$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt. 1675 Better 1$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt. 1680 standard 1682 Better 2dwt. 1687 standard 1690 Worse 1dwt. Four others restampt, standard Better 1dwt. worse 8dwt. They weight about 17dwt 13gr one with another new out of the Mint: but in the market they may be recconed 3 or 4 grains lighter being lightned by wearing filing &c.
