Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'There was (as I think I have some-where read) a Medal struck by Francis the Second and Mary, the unfortunate Queen of Scots wherein are quarter'd the Armes of England, with those of France and Scotland, Arrogating the Title to the Crown of England: Camden indeede L: 1. Annal makes the being of it upon plate, and other furniture, to have ben objected as part of her Charge, but that is nothing to this; and therefore if there be any other, I know none more likely than your selfe, to have it in your glorious and ample Collection, and to which I am already so much Oblig'd for your so generously Imparting to me, the Assistance I have received,' (Chambers - Galbraith 2014, vol. 2, p. 1061, letter 835; Burnett 2020b, p. 772)
