Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The antiquities which I conceiue your grace doth desire, (for curiosity in newe arts there is none here) are either columns or statues in stone, or bookes, or ancient coynes, or medalIs. ... Medalls and coynes in gold and siluer, of the antient Greeke kings and emperours, Armenians and Romans, by chaunce I light vpon: of those I will gather all that haue either bewty or antiquity; and these, and all, and all I can performe or finde, are freely presented to your grace.' (Roe 1740, p. 344, letter 246; Burnett 2020b, p. 353)
