Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Dr Picanini has distributed copies of most of ye inscriptions I have, & I hear Mr Cishall is about printing them. I write to him by this convoy to let him know I have severall others, wch I send to Ld Pembrooke, & hope to copy as many more if I can possibly make a company strong enough to go next month to Ha[?]. I have laid out about 300tt in medalls & daily collect what I can procure from all parts of this empire, having settled a correspondence in all parts of it, where there is any frank. but y^e Ambassadors who send men or propose every ways & y^e French kings agents make them very scarce as well as well as dear.' (London, British Library, Sloane MS 4041, ff.306-7; Burnett 2020b, pp. 611-12)
