Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I must desire Your Lordships pardon if out of ignorance I send you medals that are perfect trash; but you have an easy remedy, to throw them out of the windows. There is a very fair one of Cromwell, which for ought I know may be as common as a milled shilling; there is one of a Roman Emperor which is fair, but I know not of whom; it was given me by a Portuguise Cozen, who brought it with her from Portugall. The small one seems to be a Saxon; the other two are onely Edwards, and I think very common, but perhaps you may want one to compleat a Series. That Portuguese Cozen hath likewise a very fine Gold Medallion of Titus, with a reverse of Domitian when he was Cesar; some fool (if she does not lye) offered her three times more than the weight of it. So I shall not meddle with it. the intrinsick value is not above 4 pounds.

I have not heard of any Coin of this Kingdom before the Conquest under Henry. 2d. Those since are of no value or curiosity not above 3 or 4 hundred years old; with the Names of the Cityes; as Civitas Waterford. Civitas Dublin. Civitas Drogheda &c.'
