Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I count myself very highly obliged to you and Reverend Mr Chishull for your noble and surprising book of y^e Sigean Inscription. I shall soon publish a book about the Greek Synaxii, whereof I shall send a Copy to you and one to him, if they may be acceptable. I am glad to hear that Sig^r Haym will grave all rare Coins, Gratis. I have promised my Lord Harley the Refusall of all my Coines, and other valuable Rarityes. He hath a Catalogue of all now in his hands; and I hope he will ere long return it to me; sig^re Haym shal peruse it; and what he counts worthy to be engraved shall certainly be conveighed to him by your hand from my Ld Harley or from myself. Wth all due Repect to you and good Mr Chishull.' (Royal Society, MS 255/563; Burnett 2020b, pp. 590 n. 173, 977)
