Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Mr Cotton, I send to yor viewe twoe Meddangles, the one I think to be very good, the other connterfeyt, because the inscription is wrytten backward. I pray you try them both, and send me word which is the better, and what their inscriptions are. 18 December 1600.' (BL, Cotton MS Vespasian F XIII/2, f.291; Burnett 2020b, p. 187)
