Latin; use in documents and records pre 1733 (General)

I guess this echoes the trend from the use of Latin to English, esp in the Clergy / and wills upto the mid 1700's

The period between 1086 and 1733, when Latin was the official language of documents written in England.
After 1733, official documents were written in English, although one or two Clergy continued post 1733 !
