Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Next morning, I went to see Sir Tho: Browne (with whom I had some time corresponded by Letters tho never saw before); whose whole house & garden being a Paradise and Cabinet of rarities; and that of the best collection, especially Medails, books, Plants, natural things, did exceedingly refresh me after last nights confusion. Sir Thomas had amongst other curiosities, a collection of the Eggs of all the foule and birds he could procure, that Country (especially the Promontorys of Norfolck) being frequented (as he said) by several kinds, which seldome or never, go further into the land, as Cranes, Storks, Eagles, &c.: and variety of Waterfoule.' (De Beer 1955, vol. 3, p. 594; Burnett 2020b, p. 746)
