Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have sent you as many Coynes as are done, and will weekly supply them as we can get them from detracting Swisser. Also you shall herewith receive two leaves of coppy which we can not read the place that you have interlyned, and either to falsify your meaning, or leave out one silable we wold be lothe. Therefore I pray you both perfect that, and the yere of Christ in the other, and send them again in all hast possible, for the Printer hath already overtaken us.' (BL, Cotton MS Julius C III, f.354; Ellis 1843, p. 110, letter 32; Burnett 2020b, p. 239)
