1. The whole Pile of Mint weights + 2412 grains = the Exchequer Pile of sta. W.

The scale being changed, the Mint Pile – 24 grains = the Excheq. Pile of sta. weights

By a medium the whole Piles are equal in weight.

CCLVI oz

2 The outward weight of the Mint pile – 12gr = the outward excheqr weight

The scale being changed, the Mint outward weight – 12gr = outwd excheqr weight

By a medium ye outward Mint weight {illeg} – 12gr = outwd Excheqr weight.

CXXVIII oz.

3 The outward weight but one of ye Mint Pile + 9gr = the outwa like wt of ye Excheqr.

LXIV oz.

4 The outward Mint weight but two = the like Excheqr weight

XXXII oz.

5 The outward mint weight but three = the like Excheqr weight

XVI oz.

6 The outward mint weight but four = the like Excheqr weight.

9 The two ounce Mint weight = the like Excheqr weight = ij oz

10 The ounce Mint weight – 13gr = ye like excheqr weight = j oz

11 The half ounce weight – 14gr = the like Excheqr weight = 10dwt

12 The five penny weigh {sic} = the like Excheqr weight.

By another tryal of the whole Pile the Mint Pile 6gr too light in one acale & the scale b{illeg}eing turned the whole mint Pile was 12gr too heavy. And by a Medium the Mint Pile is 23gr heavier then the Excheqr Pile.
