Scotch Reform To L d Grenville

Is it for the beauty[?] of the ends in which the /of collecting the/ evidence is collected, that learned gentlemen are so fond of this mode /scheme/ of judicature? Ask M r. Hutchinson, my Lord; ask his supremely learned [...?] and corrector of the proofs the Right Honourable the Lord President. For excess[?] value ,5, good: for in short so Parliament would have it, and there is no[?] help for it. For [...?] value ,5, [...?], bad: for, God be thanked, Parliament has stopped at ,5.

Look[?] sharp[?] after the Bishop of Norwich and his Clergy: and Edward [...?] to his [...?] in the statute of [...?...?]. The meaning was said Lord Coke[?] to whom any things meaning was so much better known thanks to the King[?] himself the meaning[?] was look[?] sharp[?] after all the Clergy: As to the Bishop of Norwich, he is[?] given[?] only as a sample of them[?]: they are all alike.

Look sharp after the lawyers, my Lord: what[?] /as/ in Bishop of Norwich and his Clergy were supposed to be in /with/ regard to the rest of the English Clergy, so are the Right Honourable the Lord President and his M r. Hutchinson are with regard to the rest of the lawyers /rest, [...?] and remainder of that for of the long robe/: they are all alike, if there is any difference. Individuals vary: Ranks and classes are what their position[?] marks[?] them.
