Original source (English)
SOme say, that to dreame of money, and all kinde of coyne is ill. But I have tryed that little money of Brasse, and Bullion, signifieth heavinesse, and angry words. But money of silver, words and talk of great affayres, of gold farre greater: [illegible passage] t is also better to dream to have little silver, then much, because that one cannot employ great heapes, without payne and fare: to finde treasure hid in the earth, if the treasure be little, the evill shall be little: if great, the evils great, with anger, heavinesse, or death, for they open the earth for the dead, as well as for the treasure.
