Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I had almost forgote a Roman medail that I have gote of Vespasian, with his head on one side and ‘Caesar Vespasianus’, and on the other a woman leaning her head on her hand with a souldier at her back, and beneath either ‘audax’ or rather as I suppose, for its much eliterate, ‘Judea’. ... If you have as yet taken a copy of the coin I sent you in of James the 2d, with Villa de Roxburg, or follen on another of them, I should be glad to have it by the bearer.'

(EUL, MS Laing III.355, f.131v; Sharp 1937, pp. 178-80, letter 88; Burnett 2020b, p. 1545)
