DECIPHERING PART OF 1682 MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.

[Les de B]

Just wondering if anybody can help out with this paragraph of 1682 Somerset Marriage Certificate? This is about the only hint I can give;

Alexander Pile of(?) ye(?)....... of(?).........
of Somerset ....... & (and) Grace Bartholomew
of Norton Fitzwarren in(?) ye(?)........
of Somerset

I know I have the groom, bride, Norton Fitzwarren correct, and probably Somerset.

Parish of Selworthy of Somerset 

[osprey]

(county?) of Somerset afores^d

in the same (county?) of Somerset

county seems to be missing in both parts, aforesd being aforesaid

[horselydown86]

Technically, the county is written here as Som(m)erset.

There's a contraction mark after the m indicating (probably) omission of the second of a double m.

Also, is it possible the document is a Marriage Bond rather than a record of the actual marriage?

Thank you for those replies - will fix up my "poor" transcription.
