Hello,
     Had a look soon after you posted but didn't get very far into the 2nd page! I did match 'ciderdrinker' though for the few lines at the bottom of the 1st page, except for the very last word. I think the last word on the bottom line is 'one' (not or) with the word 'thousand' (not thereabouts) written underneath just to let readers know the next page starts with the word 'thousand'. So the sentence reads: "bearing date on or about the tenth day of July one thousand seven hundred and eighty four" (10th July 1784)
     Cheers 'ciderdrinker' and Ben.
               Regards,     Dod.

A few more suggestions for the gaps ...

... sundry messuages or Tenements lands hereditaments and premises with their appurtenances ...
... were by me assigned conveyed or otherwise legally assured ...
... upon trust after the decease ...
... such one or more of the Children ...
... and in such manner and form ...
... with or without power of revocation ...
... by any deed or writing deeds or writings ...
... direct limit or appoint give or devise the same(,) now I do by virtue of the power and authority to me resolved and given ...
... whose names are hereunder written ... 
... the messuages or Tenements lands hereditaments and premises contained in the said marriage settlement with their appurt(enance)s ...

(some lines were omitted above) ... and Charles
Gigget Hussey one seventh part each making the seven parts and to their several
executors administrators and assigns as tenants in common and not as joint tenants and
as to all the rest residue and remainder of my estate and effects whatsoever and where
soever and of what nature or kind soever after payment of my just debts funeral and
testamentary expences I give devise and bequeath unto my seven Children Mary
Ann Thomas George Edward Eliza Richard James and Charles Gigget Hussey and
to their several heirs ...

... my share of a leasehold living and other the effects which came to me ...
... all former and other Wills by me at any time heretofore made and do declare this only to be my last Will and Testament In Witness whereof ...
... Jane Sory(?)  Elizabeth Hayward ...

Proved at London 7th July 1826 before the Judge by the oath of Robert Page
the sole Ex(ecut)or to whom adm(inistrati)on was granted having been first sworn by Com(missi)on duly to adm(iniste)r

(in the margin)
On the 4th Sep(tembe)r 1827 Ad(ministration) with the Will annexed of the Goods Chattels and Credits of George Edward Hussey late of Kingston in the County of Dorset deceased left unadministered by Robert Page deceased (whilst living the sole Executor named in the said Will) was granted to Mary Ann Hussey Spinster the Daughter and one of the Residuary Legatees named in the said Will having been first sworn duly to administer the said Robert Page died Intestate

Does anyone know what any of this actually means? lol

After his debts and expenses are paid, and in accordance with the terms of his marriage settlement of 1784, his estate is to be divided into 7 parts and split between his 6 children, Mary Ann (2 sevenths) and the other five children named (1 seventh each). The effects of his deceased daughter Sarah are to go to his other daughter Mary Ann.

The executor, Robert Page, was granted probate in 1826 but died before administering the estate, so in 1827 a grant of administration was made to the daughter Mary Ann Hussey to complete it.

For any unfamiliar terms, there's a useful Glossary here ...
