Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'In prolegomenis Simondsij D\e/uusij Thesauro Equitis aurati et Baronetti Thesauro numario Britanno-Anglico suo pe’ficjendis Neque parvi momenti adminicula huic operi nostro ex singulari humanitate viri Cl: Thomae Cottoni Baronetti, celeberrimi illius Roberti filij unici et haeredis, accesserunt: non enim nobis \ dumtaxat/ plurima Britannica et Anglica, tam vetera quam citeriora numismata rarissima mutuo //// dedit, sed aliquot etiam vix unqua aut ne vix unquam aliunde acquirenda munificentissime ex locupleti sua largitus est penu.' (BL, Harley MS 255, f.28; Burnett 2020b, p. 182)

['In the unfinished Introduction of Simonds D’Ewes, Knight Bachelor and Baronet, for his Treasury of Anglo-British Coins
Help of no little amount has been provided to this my work by the special courtesy of the illustrious Baronet Thomas Cotton, the only son and heir of the very famous Robert; for not only did he exchange with me many very rare British and English coins, both ancient and more recent, but he has even, most generously, given several from his rich store that could hardly or hardly ever have been acquired anywhere else.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 182)]
