¶ The seconde dialoge of accomptynge by counters.
_Mayster._
Nowe that you haue learned the commen kyndes of Arithmetyke with the
penne, you shall se the same art in cou{n}ters: whiche feate doth not
only serue for them that can not write and rede, but also for them that
can do bothe, but haue not at some tymes theyr penne or tables redye
with them. This sorte is in two fourmes co{m}menly. The one by lynes,
and the other without lynes: in that y^t hath lynes, the lynes do stande
for the order of places: and in y^t that hath no lynes, there must be
sette in theyr stede so many counters as shall nede, for eche lyne one,
and they shall supplye the stede of the lynes.
_S._ By examples I shuld better p{er}ceaue your meanynge.
_M._ For example of the [*117a.] ly[*]nes:
----1-0-0-0-0-0--
----1-0-0-0-0----
-X--1-0-0-0------
----1-0-0--------
----1-0----------
----1------------
