Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Litterarum mihi commercium est in Anglia cum Alexandro Cuningamo qui ad me curavit donum Excellentissimi Comitis de Pembrok. Sciebat is me possidere binos Nummos, quorum desiderio tenebatur: certior eius rei factus, continuo Londinum eos mihi dono Comiti; is eosdem remittere volebat, ni vel pretium, vel libros accipere vellem; ego resistere certus propositi, versabaturque mihi ante oculos vetus illud Nec mihi aurum posco, nec pretium dederitis; sed tandem expugnatus, & ne viderer gratiam effundere alte nati viri libros accipere coactus fui; & qua summa est Comis liberalitate & animi magnitudine misit ad me [lists books] ... Haec ad Te scribo, ut inde perspicias Comitis munificentiam, atque adeo benevolentiam, qua me complectitur; fui enim cum vivo Guilielmo Rege Legatum Hagae Comitis ageret, per varias vices cum eo egique & de rebus ad Rempubl. & eruditionem spectantibus.' (Targioni Tozzetti 1745, pp. 118-21, letter 43; Burnett 2024, p. 22)

['I have a correspondence in England with Alexander Cuningham, who took care for me the gift to the Most Excellent Earl of Pembroke. He knew that I was in possession of two coins, the desire of which he held; having been informed of this, I immediately gave them for the Earl in London; he wished to send them back, unless I would accept either the price or books; I was determined to resist the purpose, and before my eyes was turned that old saying: I will not ask for my gold, nor will you give me a price; but at last being overcome, and lest I should be seen to pour out my gratitude, I was compelled to accept the books of a man of high birth; and with what great liberality and greatness of mind the Earl sent to me [lists books] ... I am writing these things to you, so that you may perceive from them the generosity of the Earl, and so much the benevolence with which he embraces me; for I was, when he was acting during King William’s liftetime as ambassador to the Count of Hague, with him on various occasions and and I dealt with matters realting to the state and and to scholarship.' (translation from Burnett 2024, p. 22)]
