Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have a very fair medal worth sixpence, of Edwd 3d. I know not whether it be worth putting into Your Series of Engl Kings. Pray My Lord look upon me as the Greek Emperr did upon the Country men who offerd him a very large turnip. You commanded me to enquire into coyns here; and as an ignorant man I may do ignorant things.'

(Williams 1963, vol. 3, pp. 392-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 1628)
