" PRESENTLY "Now I am a sensible man, by and by a fool and presently a beast" Clearly "presently" does not mean "now." GOT If you prefer "got" to "gotten" how would you like "his only begot son","

It's not quite right to suggest these are differences between British and American though. In Scotland 'presently' did and still does mean at the present time and also 'gotten' is used. The COD confirms the use of 'presently' in Scotland but fails to mention the use of 'gotten' here.
