YOu may Remembar that in one of the Philofbphical 
Tranfa&ions of your Honourable Society ; Pub- 
lilhed in the Year 1687 viz. N 189, an Account was 
given of l'ome Saxon Coins found at Honedon in Suffolk, 
of which I have feen divers pieces, tho' I do not remem- 
ber that the Sexton of the Parifti who found them, told 
me of any Pot that they were found in ; but only that 
diging in the Church-yard deeper then ordinary , he chanc- 
ed to ftrike with his Pickax juft among the Mony, and 
beat it about the Grave, at which being Affrighted, he 
got out as faft as he could, and called one of his Neigh- 
bours, who coming to the Grave, foon perceived what 
they were, and jumping in began to pick them up ; 
whereupon the Sexton took Courage and jumped into 
the Grave alio, and got up into his Hat what he could, 
Earth and all, which might be between 200 or 300 
peices,fome of which were Green by lying in the Ground, 
as Sir P. S. who communicated that aforefaid Account ; 
very well obferved the Novelty of the thing and rarity 
of the Mony, foon procured the Sexton Chapmen enough 
to purchafe all his Mony, and among others it was my 
good hap alfo to procure fome few Three of which I 
think are not publiflied by that aforefaid Worthy Gentle- 
man, and therefore herewith lend you their exadt de- 
Vid. Fig* figns, hoping they will not be unacceptable to you, 
7« which is all at prefent from 
Tours &c.
