Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'the Medall (of two Urns floating upon waves, &c.) which you desire, I have seen, both silver and brasse; but in private men’s hands, who would not part with the same, because they were originalls of the first stampe, which was in Zealand; yet, out of my owne particular curiosity, I have caused both it and all of such extraordinarie nature as have been made in Holland, since then, sent from Spayne, being forty-seven, to be cast complete in silver, of a handsome volume, about our shilling’s diameter, but thicker, and somewhat about two shillings a-piece.
And I am in dayly porsuite of more (if more to be found) either of this, or the other united provinces: all of which I shall not be unwilling to relinquish unto so studiose and noble a friend, if you shall have a mind unto them.'
