F1when [F2and the names and designations of the persons by whom] the saids Writs shall be presented and that the said minute be [F2immediately signed by the presenter of the writ and also by the Keeper, and] patent to all the Lieges who shall desire Inspection of it gratis And that the Writs shall be registrate exactly conform to the Order of the said Minute Book . . .
