ost gallos narime Batavis
profuit metallorum depressio, nam
depressis metallis exaltata sunt pretia
tum mercium, tum maxime industriae
humanae. Batavi autem cum sint
aliarum nationum propolae utique emtis
mercibus et revenditi, lurantur depresso
mnetarpret utique einunt merces et reven
dunt. Quanquam autem plus depresso
pretio ha metalli lucrarentur si merce
venderent apud se natas potius quam
emtas quia in quantum emunt depressa
moneta perdunt, in quantum emunt
revendunt lucrantur, tanten quia pluris
sevendunt quam emere. in summa lucrari
eos potius depressione monetae necesse est
Altera causa cur lucrentur est quia
haec est, quod depressa moneta augetur
ut dixi salor industria humanae, is
enim maximam partem pretii rerum
facit rerum autem pretia depressa
moneta utique angentur. Jam Batavi
maxime industria sua vivunt
itaque Batavis profuit Monetae defressio
Minus tamen  quam Gallis, qui
daremus
etsi demus minorem Gallorum quam
L0d vix exedo,
Batavorum industriam esse
tamen
multo minor est in orbe Gallorum
quam Batavorum quam gallorum
numere multitudio.
