Two pound of good blacke Tynne,
being melted, will yeeld one of white: twentle eight or thirtie foote
of the best, fortie: of the middle, 52. of the meanest, a thousand.
Now the wealthier sort of Tynners, laying out part of their money
beforehand, buy this black Tynne of the poore labourers, after so much
the marke: that is, looke how many markes there are in the price, made
at the Coynage for the thousand, so many two pence halfepenie, three
pence, or foure pence, partly after the goodnesse, and partly
according to the hard conscience of the one, and necessitie of the
other, shal he haue for the foote: as if the price be twentie sixe
pound, thirteene shillings & foure pence the thousand, therein are
fortie markes: then shall the poore Tynner receiue of him who dealeth
most friendly, for euerie foote of his best blacke Tynne (of which as
was said, about thirtie will make a thousand) fortie times foure pence:
viz. thirteene shillings and foure pence, which amounteth to twentie
pound the thousand: whereas that foote at the price, is worth aboue
fiue pence the marke.
