mission, And whereas upon his Application to us against the
said Order, we have declared that he ought to make a reason-
able Submission before he should be restored to his practice

Satisfactory Submission to us the said Lord Proprietarie, we

for the time being do forthwith discharge the said Order and
all Orders Explanatory thereof and restore the said Tho^s
