[Sidenote: Then antery the multiplier one place. Work as before. How to deal with ciphers.]
That done, sette forward{ e} the figures of the nombre multiplying by oo difference, so that the first of the multipliant be vnder the last save one of the nombre to be multiplied{ e}, the other by o place sette forward{ e}. Than me shall{ e} bryng{ e} the last of the m{ u}ltipliant in hym to be multiplied{ e}, vnder the which{ e} is the first multipliant. And than wolle growe oþ{ er} a digit, an article, or a componed{ e} nombre. If it be a digit, adde hym even above his hede; If it be an article, transferre hym to the lift side; And if it be a nombre componed{ e}, adde a digit to the figure above his hede, and sette to the lift hand{ e} the article. And all{ e}-wayes eu{ er}y figure of the nombre multipliant is to be brought to the last save one nombre to be multiplied{ e}, til me come to the first of the multipliant, where me shall{ e} wirche as it is seid{ e} before of the first, and aft{ er}ward{ e} to put forward{ e} the figures by o difference and one till{ e} they all{ e} be multiplied{ e}. And yf it happe that the first figure of þe multipliant be a cifre, and boue it is sette the figure signyficatif{ e}, write a cifre in the place of the figur{ e} sette a-side, as thus, { et}c.:

And yf a cifre happe in the lower order be-twix the first and the last, and even above be sette the fig{ ur}e signyficatif, leve it vntouched{ e}, as here:--
