standard both of Gold and Silver was renewed, and a pound of Gold

fine valued at 11 l. of fine Silver, and 7s. 10d. over: In the

24th of Elizabeth the standard of Gold was abased one quarter of

a grain, and of Silver one pennyweight, but the proportion

between two metals near upon the same point: And although in

these times the Crown Gold was coined upon another standard, yet

the proportion in the Intrinsical value was kept the same. In

secundo Jacobi, the proportion was 12 for one; but every 20s.
