The article looks good in all respects. I have a query about the hook though. The source gives the quote as "Justyce & good lawe Requyrid". If we are quoting then I feel we should be quite accurate. Using the archaic spelling would give the hook a good period feel, which might attract interest, I feel. Andrew Davidson (talk) 19:02, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Good suggestion. I've made the change. Thanks for the review! NinaGreen (talk) 19:33, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Glad we agree. It's good to go then. Andrew Davidson (talk) 23:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
