Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Sir Dudley North was lately in towne, and brought me up severall English coynes in a taffety purse, amongst which I found noe lesse then twenty ancient English Saxon coyness that I wanted, and one of them of which Sir Robert Cotton never had any. Of his latter English coynes I chose some six, for which, as a testimony of my thankefulnesse, I presented him with some forty-eight pieces; with which he rested so abundantly satisfied, as I confidently beleive he can chuse ten out of these he received from me, that he woulde not exchange for all these he bestowed one me. I beseech you hasten the sending of what you intend, for a great part of my worke is ready transcribed for the presse; and should your coynes aford me but a moderate supply (of which I make little doubt), I should be much troubled with interlineing and adding.' (Ives 1773, pp. 30-1; Burnett 2020b, pp. 537, 539)
