For furder ꝑfe of o^er reconinge to be trewe we haue sett it downe in diu^erse man^ers as followeth /

And bicause it is alledged that the iij^£ dd L M. D. wayeth but xj^oz xviij^d wght and is but xj^oz j^d wght fine at the pounde wght and that bicause the saide Lx^s wayeth not a pounde wght therfore there cannot be xj^oz j^d wght fine silu^er therunto is answered thatt yf the Lx^s delu^ered to M. D: wayed a full pounde wght at xj^oz j^d wght fine then he sholde lacke of y^t he deliu^ered but iij^d  scante: But bicause M. D: receiueth not a full pounde wght therfore we recon howmuche fine silu^er there is in the iij^£ wayeinge but xj^oz xviij^d wght and so we finde the reconinge to agre bothe in vallue & in fine silu^er as followeth /

The m^er receiueth of W. D: one pounde wght of bullion w^ch holdeth xj^oz fine silu^er & one ounce of allaye and w^thall \he/ receiveth vj^d ob in money w^ch is all one as yf he receiued one pounde wght standerd at xj^oz ij^d wght fine w^ch is accompted to be in vallue	}	Lx^s
The m^er deliu^ered againe to M. D: iij^£ waying but xj^oz xviij^d wght of xj^oz j^d wght fine at the pounde wght w^th xj^oz xviij^d wght of xj^oz j^d wght fine holdeth in fine silu^er xxij gre ij mite at eu^ery penny wght w^ch is CCCCxlij gre at eu^ery ounce viz xviij^d wght x gre at eu^ery ounce and so M: D: iij^£ wayinge but xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fine silu^er x ^oz xix^d wght iij gre & xvj myte w^ch after the rate of v^s the ounce standerd is worth v^s iiij^d ob. . ei  scante the ounce fine silu^er And so M. D: receiueth in his iij^£ wayinge but xj^oz xviij^d wght somuche fine silu^er as is in vallue at the leaste	}	Lix^s. ij^d. ob. .
The w^ch Lix^s ij^h ob . in vallue beinge {d^d} so M. D: for his pounde wght holdinge xj^oz fine silu^er and for his vj^d ob received by the m^er as a foresaide M. D: moneyes lacjeth of that he deliu^ered but	}	ix^d ^a scante

Againe to ꝑue that M. D: Lx^d wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght & being but of xj^oz.  . fine or aboue at the pounde wght cannot lack of that he deliu^ered xij^d ob. we haue sett downe diu^ersitye of reconinge as followeth /

The m^er receiueth of M. D: one pounde \wght/ of bullion w^ch holdeth xj^oz fine silu^er & one ounce of allaye & w^thall vj^h ob in moneys w^ch is all one as if he received a pounde wght standerd at	}	xj^oz ij^d w^tt fine
Yf the m^er deliu^er M. D: Lx^s wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght & but of xj^oz j^d wght fine at the pounde wght w^ch xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fine silu^er x^oz xix^d wght iij gre xvj myte Then M. D: lacketh in his moneyes of y^t he dd in fine silu^er	}	ij^d w^tt. xx^gre. iiij^myte.
In vallue verry nere		ix^d. v.^myte ij.^droite
Item yf the m^er deliu^er M. D. Lx^s wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght and but of xj^oz ob ^a fine at the pounde wght the w^ch xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fine silu^er x^oz xviij^d wght xxj^gre xvij myte then M. D: lacketh in his moneyes of that he deliu^ered in fine silu^er	}	iij.^{d w^tt} ij.^gre iij^myte
In vallue verry more		x^d. j.^droite

<1v>

Item yf the m^er deliu^er M. D: Lx^s wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght and but of xj^oz oz fine at the pounde wght the w^ch xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fine silu^er x^oz xviij^d wght xv. gre xviij myte then M. D: lacketh in his moneyes of that he dd in fine silu^er	}	iij.^{d w^tt}. viij^gre. ij^myte
In vallue verry nere		x^d. xix^myte
Item yf the m^er deliu^er to M. D: Lx^s waying xj^oz xviij^d wght & but of xj^oz ^a fine at y^e pounde wght w^ch xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fine silu^er x^oz xviij^d wght in gre xiij myte Then M. D: lacketh in his moneyes of y^t he dd in fine silu^er	}	iij.^{d w^tt}. xiiij^gre. j^myte
In value verry nere		xj^d. ob. j^myte. xix.^droite
Item yf the m^er deliu^er to M. D: Lx^s waying xj^oz xviij^d wght & but of xj^oz ^a fine at y^e pounde wght So y^t M. D: pounde wght refineth nothinge in meltinge w^ch is not possible the w^ch xj^oz xviij^d wght holdeth in fyne silu^er x^oz xviij^d wght in gre / Then M. D: lacketh in his moneyes of y^t he dd in fine silu^er	}	iij.^{d w^tt} xx^gre.
In value verry nere		xij^d. ^a. ij^myte. xviij.^droite

So we finde it apparaunte that M. D: deliu^eringe one pounde wght of silu^er of xj^oz fine and vj^d ob in moneyes w^ch is all one as if he dd one pounde wght of xj^oz ij^d wght gine and receiuinge iij^£ wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght of xj^oz ^a fine or any thinge aboue cannot lacke xij^d ob as m^er audito^r hathe saide /

And so we finde it also apparaunte that M. D: deliu^eringe j^£ wght of silu^er of xj^oz fine and vj^d ob in moneyes w^ch is all one as if he dd one pounde wght of xj^oz ij^d wght fine and receivinge iij^£ wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght of xj^oz j^d wght fine lacketh of that he dd but ix^d  as m^er Lonyson hathe saide & not xij^d ob as m^er Audito^r hathe saide /

Also adde the saide ix^d ^a to the iij^£ wayinge xj^oz xviij^d wght of xj^oz j^d wght fine and it counternaileth the pounde wght of xj^oz fine & y^e vj^d ob therw^th dd w^ch directelye ꝑueth y^e reckoninge to be trewe /

And if it shalbe founde by the saide assaye of y^e saide potte made in forme aforesaide that the pounde wght throughelye trued answer not in finesse the full standered a fore saide but that it shall passe the one half of the remedye lymitted in either of the saide standerds the lacje therof shalbe an entred of recorde by the said warden or such as he shall therunto appointe and a trewe accompte therof shalbe made to o^er sou^erayne Ladye the Q: of somuche of the saide lacke as shall passe the saide one half of the saide remedye and the same fully and wholy to be answered to o^er ou^erayne Ladye by y^e Q: and w^thoute any comodytie to growe to any other ꝑson or ꝑsons by y^e same /

Sauinge alwayes that in case by the saide assayes of y^e potte it shalbe founde that the saide moneyes of golde & silu^er doe passe at any tyme in finesse the one half of the saide remedye lymitted in either of the saide standerde thatt then the saide finesse to be entred of recorde & golde plate w^ch the saide m^er in the charge w^ch he shall haue when any lacke shalbe founde by the sayde assaye of the saide potte passinge the saide half remedye afore saide /
