The first is Gairdner or gardener.
The second is cordinar or cordwainer, i.e. shoemaker.

There's a book from the Bucks Record Society, The Buckinghamshire Posse Comitatus, 1798, which you can download for free. The introduction provides a lot of background information.

There's a baptism of Joseph Axon, the son of James and Sarah, at New Romney St Nicholas, on 28 June 1797. Is this the same family?

Was James Axon the first of this family to live in that area?

There was an earlier Axon, Francis Axon of Deal, tailor, who left a will and inventory in 1638.

The original date appears to be 24 December, which is possible, given that the will was made on the 1st of December.

It looks like lxj to me. Probate must have been delayed for quite some time. That would explain all the cross-outs and replacements.

One interesting feature is the Protestant feeling of the will, during the reign of P & M.
