I normally don`t mind as long as they contact me and ask.
I`m sure you agree.

hereunto set my hand  and that this fourth day
... hereunto set my hand and seal this fourth day ...

In the probate clause ...
the ---- to whom --- was granted having been first  sworn  --- only to ---

... the ex(ecut)ors to whom Adm(inistrati)on was granted having been first sworn ^by com(missi)on^ duly to Adm(iniste)r

In other words, the oath was sworn before a solicitor or other commissioner for oaths, so that they could do it near home or somewhere else convenient, without having to attend the court.
