Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The Rev. Mr. Vaux gave me a brass piece of money lately found in a grave there [Bourne. Lincolnshire], with some bits of glass, I suppose the picture of some saint, but this confirms my notion concerning the money, that ’tis some religious token. We have great numbers of ’em found about Stamford and brought to me.
HANNS . KRAWINCKELIN . NVR.
HEVTRODT . MORGEN TODTT.
On another of the same, somewhat larger in size, instead of the first inscription is this: VERBVM DOMINI MANET IN ETERNVM, and explains the other thus: HANNS. KRAVW . ICKEL . IN . NVREMB, so that it appears they belong to Nuremberg, in Germany, but upon what account they were struck and brought hither, and in such great quantity, we are to seek. I find several others have different legends on both sides, but Dutch.'
