Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'There is ane other Request I would put up to you viz. I have this pretty while been collecting Ancient Coyns and Medals especially Roman, and I not know how to Greek, And your correspondents abroad in those places where the Romans and Greeks have hade them Residence might properly meet with severall of their Ancient Coyns in Gold, Silver, Copper or Brasse, which are usually found by the Country People when they are either digging in the ground, or clearing the Ruins of Ancient Buildings. These they may buy for the intrinsick value of the Mettall or there abouts, and I shall be very willing to pay what they shall cost which I shall order my correspondent at London to advance for me. They may take at a venture such as come in their way, I beleeve they will not know well how to destenguish them. I shall be exceedingly obliged to you if you can do anything for me in this way, and desire your answer thereannent by your next.'
