Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Sir,
YOUR kind letter of November 15, came not to my hands, ’til the beginning of this weeke; else you had certainly received my answer and thanks for your kindnes sooner.

I see you have taken a great deale of care about the coines I sent to the University. And I hope, as you have seen the last I sent, with others, placed in their severall cells respectively; so you have also seen their names written into the booke, that both may be perfect and agree together.

For the placing of them I leave that wholly to the university, whose they now are: yet I must needs approve of the way of placing them, which you have thought on. Nor can there be any objection against it, but that which you have made about the MS. Commend my love to Dr. Turner and Mr. Pocock; and when you have weighed all circumstances, whatsoever you shall pitch upon shall serve, and please mee. So to God’s blessing I leave you, and rest.

Your unfortunate poor friend
W. CANT.
Tower, Janua. 13, 1642/3'
