Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have received from you the leavs I last sent, which came fitt as cold be, otherise the presse had stayde. I have sent your Worshipe the printes of more Coynes, and desire the returne of more copye, for nowe the work will forward apasse. I praye you forgett not the formes of your Altar Stones, neither any other ornament to be in the Worke. I want your Worships furtherance for the Monasteryes erected in every shire, as also for the history of King Henry the fourth, the wich yf you will furnish me with, I will be thankfull and see them safely returned.' (BL, Cotton MS Julius C III, f.356; Ellis 1843, p. 112, letter 34; Burnett 2020b, p. 239)
