Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Mr George Ballard, of Campden in Gloucestershire, a young ingenious Taylor, whom I have formerly mentioned, being now in Oxford, he yesterday called upon me, and his youngest Brother (for he hath two Sisters and four Brothers living, whereof himself is the eldest son) was with him, and we spent the evening together. His ingenious sister, who is now 26 years of age, is very curious in Coins and Physic, she designing to be a Midwife by the Assistance of her Mother, who hath followed that Imployment for many years. ... Mr Ballard ... gave me a Manks Brass Piece with an Head upon it. He likewise gave me a very old Coin of Carausius in Brass, found in Cirenester....'
