Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'You did not, I perceive, send the parcel of medals from Dr. Kennedy to Mrs. Wingfield, till after she had conveyed the other I expected to me, so it did not arrive till last week, but was then highly acceptable, having received a letter from the Dr. on that subject not altogether genteel, or even commonly civil. Your own book, which came with them, has given me great pleasure & improvement, & I desire you to accept my best thanks for so agreeable a favor. Gale & Bochart I had read just before, so was the more surprized to find the number of particulars in your piece equally curious & new. Every one in these parts applauds it, & wishes to see it continued. I have looked over what coins I have, but find only one that can possibly be of use in a scheme of this nature; 'tis a small one of Constanine Max: with the monogram on a Labarum, which I have enclosed & request you to accept. The truth of this appearance to Constantine is generally doubted; but this coin shows that he actually did favor the Christians, either out of policy or conviction. Fabricius, in his Bibliotheca Graeca, has a curious disseration to show that the cross which appeared was a natural phaenomenon in a solar halo, which, if you have it not already, may at any time command' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1, p. 461; Burnett 2020b, p. 400 (corr.))
