Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I should be glad to heare that your lodgings in Fig-tree-court did escape the late wofull fire at the Middle Temple. Mr. Ashmole hath had a wonderful losse, nothing at all saved; his man not lodging there that night. It seems the fire began in the very next Chamber to his Library, being in the corner of Pump Court. Wth much labour in search he hath found some of his silver coynes, and some of the copper, but the copper much defaced. I heare not what is become of his gold coynes, wch were of great value. I wish they were not there.' (Hamper 1827, pp. 420-1, letter CLXX; Josten 1966, vol. 4, p. 1637; Burnett 2020b, pp. 452-3)
