Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have not Tast to admire such rude performances as most of our English coins, especially the most Ancient, are; which give Light to no History, & are only standing proofs of the Ignorance and Inartifice of our Ancestors.' (Honeybone - Honeybone 2010, p. 78, no. 187; Burnett 2020b, p. 392)
