Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Worshipfull Sir, my thoughts runnyng vpon the well performance of this worke, and fearfull to committ any thing disagreeing from the truth. I have sent you a coppy of some part of that which you have alredy sene, because you left in writing at the Printers that with a fast eye you had overune it, and your leasure better affording that busines in the contrey then here you had ; this therefore hath caused me to send you as much as my Printer cane espare, beseiching your Worshipe to read it more attentyvly, to place the Coynes, and what adicssions you will before you returne it ; and I pray you to past a paper where you doe adde, and not to intirline the coppy, for somewhere we cannot read your Notes because the place geues your pene not rome to exprese your mynd. I have sent such Coynes as are cutt, and will weekly supply the same; so much therefore as you shall perfect I praye you send againe with as much speed as you can; but where you do not want the Coynes, kepe that coppy still with you, untill I send them: for I shall not be satisfied with your other directions or Mr Coles help.' (BL, Cotton MS Julius C III, ff.354-8; Burnett 2020b, pp. 238-9)
