Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Noble Sr Your goodness, which hath soe freely & abundantly heaped favours uppon us, will (we humbly desire & hope) pardon our want of such returnes, as they deserve, & you may justly expect. Your last letter directed to the university was publiquely read in ye Regent house, & both it, and your noble guift of both Roman & English coynes were very thankfully received by the whole Senate, & their thanks had been returned by their Orator, but that he was from home, & should have therefore been done after another ma’ner by me but that hurryes of business, & many bodily destempers of the toothache especially, have wholy unfitted me for any such imployment, be pleased therefore Sr to accept of myne own & the whole universities humble & thankfull acknowledgments for this last & all other your great favours, wch will be lasting monuments of your great love to learning, & this Nursery of it, & ever remaine as firme tyes & obligations uppon us to love & honour you. [Acknowledges the return of the Saxon Gospels and Aelfric and returns the bond; and looks forward to the return of the Gildas....]. I shall heartily pray that you may be long continued, & much asisted to the finishing & perfecting of what ever you have in hand or eye for the further advancing of learning, & the glory of our English Nation by it.' (BL, Harley MS 374, f.285; Burnett 2020b, p. 383)
