Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am very glad that y^e Coyn I sent proved so acceptable. It seemed to me of some Consequence. And I doubt not but you have given a Just acc^t of it. It was found in y^e Ruines of a House about y^e Most^r of St ///, burnt some months agoe. And If any more to be had (about I much doubt) They shall be Transmitted to you. ////// I send you 8 more by Mr Nicolson which I conclude are rest of them. And if being of Constantine, Constantius & one of y^e City of Rome if I mistake not on which I desire y^r thoughts if at y^r Leisure. And perhaps I may furnish you in Time with some others. Those I Nowe send you were ploughed up some few years agoe at a Place called Puckam in ye Parish of Sevennhampton called Sennington Gloucestershire about 17 miles from Here.' (Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson Letters 10, f.138; Burnett 2020b, p. 1550)

'Glad the coin was acceptable; sends 8 more dug up at Sennington (Glo.). Wishes to borrow Lesley's Short Method with the Jews, Sends 26s.' (Summary in Hearne 1885, vol. 1, pp. 312-13)
