where I haue expressed ye same summe 198 l’i. 19 s. 11 d’. But here you se the pennes stande toward ye ryght hande, and the other encreasynge orderly towarde the lefte hande. Agayne you maye se, that auditours wyll make 2 lynes (yea and more) for pennes, shyllynges, and all other valewes, yf theyr summes extende therto. Also you se, that they set one counter at the ryght ende of eche rowe, whiche so set there standeth for 5 of that roume: and on 132 a. *the lefte corner of the rowe it standeth for 10, of ye same row. But now yf you wold adde other subtracte after any of both those sortes, yf you marke ye order of yt other feate which I taught you, you may easely do the same here without moch teachynge: for in Addition you must fyrst set downe one summe and to the same set the other orderly, and lyke maner yf you haue many: but in Subtraction you must sette downe fyrst the greatest summe, and from it must you abate that other euery denomination from his dewe place.

S. I do not doubte but with a lytell practise I shall attayne these bothe: but how shall I multiply and diuide after these fourmes?

M. You can not duely do none of both by these sortes, therfore in suche case, you must resort to your other artes.

S. Syr, yet I se not by these sortes how to expresse hundreddes, yf they excede one hundred, nother yet thousandes.

M. They that vse such accomptes that it excede 200 132 b. *in one summe, they sette no 5 at the lefte hande of the scores of poundes, but they set all the hundredes in an other farther rowe and 500 at the lefte hand therof, and the thousandes they set in a farther rowe yet, and at the lefte syde therof they sette the 5000, and in the space ouer they sette the 10000, and in a hygher rowe 20000, whiche all I haue expressed in this example,

which is 97869 l’i. 12 s. 9 d’ ob. q. for I had not told you before where, nother how you shuld set downe farthynges, which (as you se here) must be set in a voyde space sydelynge beneth the pennes: for q one counter: for ob. 2 counters: for ob. q. 3 counters: and more there can not be, for 4 farthynges 133 a. *do make 1 d’. which must be set in his dewe place.

Auditors’ Casting Counters.

And yf you desyre ye same summe after audytors maner, lo here it is.
