Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Yr favour of Feb’ the 12th Came to hand a very few days since; occasion’d by his Excellency’s Illness. I am very sorry the Albinus is a Counterfeit, but hope the Rest answer yr Expectation. Dr Pikerus esteemd yt so much as to send an Impression of yt to Mr Cuper, taking it to be a true & very valuable one. I must confess, I suspected yt at first sight, but was Over-ruld by the Dr, who was very positive as to its Antiquity. Sr, As to yor being dissatisfyed wth my Account of Them; I believe you to be more of a Gentleman, & if any unguarded Expression was in my Leter, & gave Offence, I beg pardon; & Desire you’l entertain a better Opinion of me yn to imagine I have the Vanity to take any Exceptions at my Betters, whatever my welch blood & want of temper may provoke me To, where I take myself to be upon the Par.'

(Royal Society, MS 254/400; Burnett 2020b, p. 618)
