The Lords, on a bill, and his taking the test, re-admit Commissary Monro to be an advocate, being now pardoned for high treason and the conspiracy.

And the Lords should be more tender of the Faculty's reputation, by which most of themselves have risen, unless they were commanded to do it by superior powers.
