It's: ...the Eighth of day of ffebruary...one thowsand sixe hundred and thirteene...

Note that this is an Old-Style date.  In our calendar the year is 1614.

The many words in the middle are mostly expressing the regnal year which, as it is James I, is very complicated.

It boils down to the eleventh year of his reign in England, France & Ireland and the forty-seventh year of Scotland.

I'm heading out, Lucy, so I will leave you in the hands of the forum.

Ah, I see, that's great, thank you very much, I appreciate your help.

No urgency about the rest, it can wait until whenever, but if anyone else can help spread the load, that's good too!

I've now managed to decipher some of the places now, but can't make out or think of anything to match this one. 

Barony or borough of ??lingham in the countie of Sussex? (There's a Willingdon in Sussex? Only Willingham I can see is in Cambridge.)

Oh, that's fantastic, thank you Bookbox. So Giles is the son of Margaret and David - I would have got that wrong! (And that word chancel was floating somewhere in my brain but I just couldn't access it at the right time...  )

I have just been ploughing through the rest and have caught a few more words and names which may be of significance which I can't transcribe with any certainty. I'll just post them all together here before taking another break.

The first one is just another place name - not sure if meant to be Hollington?

The second talks about his sonne John again, and his heirs and executors - but is that a name Edward or perhaps Edmund the sonne of...? in the second line?

Seems to mention a sonne William in the third (not mentioned elsewhere as far as I can see)... to be sole and alone executor?

Last one, friend and father-in-law Thomas (says abovenamed, which I must have missed before, will look again later) [surname?] to be my
