|Grand document='I cannot find there are any old Irish Coyns, at least not of any great antiquity, but long since the Conquest by Hen<sup>r</sup> 2<sup>d</sup> The Coyns found here underground are generally of the Saxon Kings, or some of the later Emperors. I shall see what can be done about an affair which M<sup>r</sup> Clayton hath begun, relating to the late Bishop Nicolsons papers.'
