Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have read your seven ancient Coyns and given them back with their Legends about them. The Roman piece ye have is a Denarius of Vespasian, and the Reverse a Woman lamenting at a Trophaee, with the letters IVDAEA coyned in memory of the taking Jerusalem. I have never yet gotten a figur drawen of your Coyn with Villa Roxburgh and have therefore sent you inclosed two very curious Scotish pieces which if ye please to accept for yours I will take as a most singular favour in regard. It will increase my Collection; and I shall always after buy up for you all the doubles I meet with that ye need, if ye please to send me ane accurate List of such pieces as ye already have, their breadth, weight, Impression and Inscription. [goes on to talk of encouraging the College of Glasgow to set up a ‘Physick Garden’, and encouraged Wodrow to devote himself to the study of plants, because he ‘thought It worth your while to continue in the Post ye know have, which with keeping a Museum of Rarities might deserve a considerable Sallary’.]
