Special Features
This document has a different eschatocol ("In Testimony whereof We cause these Our Letters to be made Patent" vs. "In Witness whereof We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent").
There is also a different warranty ("By the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain") to reflect the fact that these instruments are issued without the Monarch's involvement.
Because the office of Clerk of the Crown in Chancery was vacant when this Instrument was issued, it bears the surname of Ceri King (Deputy Clerk of the Crown in Chancery).
