Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I cannot find there are any old Irish Coyns, at least not of any great antiquity, but long since the Conquest by Hen^r 2^d The Coyns found here underground are generally of the Saxon Kings, or some of the later Emperors. I shall see what can be done about an affair which M^r Clayton hath begun, relating to the late Bishop Nicolsons papers.'

(Williams 1963, vol. 3, pp. 247-8; Burnett 2020b, p. 1627)
