_Wares_ brought from other places are either exchanged in an _Exchange_, 1. _Merces_, aliunde allatæ, aliunde vel commutantur in _Domo Commerciorum_, 1, or exposed to sale in _Warehouses_, 2. and they are sold for _Money_, 3. vel exponuntur venum in _Tabernis Mercimoniorum_, 2. & venduntur pro _Pecuniâ_ (monetâ), 3. being either measured with an _Eln_, 4. or weighed in a _pair of Balances_, 5. vel mensuratæ _Ulnâ_, 4. vel ponderatæ _Librâ_, 5.

_Shop-keepers_, 6. _Pedlars_, 7. and _Brokers_, 8. would also be called _Merchants_, 9. _Tabernarii_. 6. _Circumforanei_, 7. & _Scrutarii_, 8. etiam volunt dici _Mercatores_, 9.

The _Seller_ braggeth of a thing that is to be sold, and setteth the rate of it, and how much it may be sold for. _Venditor_ ostentat rem promercalem, & indicat pretium, quanti liceat.

The _Buyer_, 10. cheapneth and offereth the price. _Emptor_, 10. licetur, & pretium offert.

If any one bid _against him_, 11. the thing is delivered to him that promiseth the most. Si quis _contralicetur_, 11. ei res addicitur qui pollicetur plurimum.
