To add a note to HD’s explanation above ...
In handwriting of this period, the letter h has a long looped descender, making it look more like a g or y. This is what you see at the beginning of hurst. Relatively little of the letter is above the line, unless it’s joined to a preceding long s, as in p(ar)ishe.
This sort of hand is not easy reading if you're new to it, but recognising the letters does come with practice, and if you need more help I’m sure people will oblige.
