1618 probate record
« on: Saturday 01 February 20 18:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi, can anyone help me decipher these two lines please? they feature towards the end of a probate record from 1618 for a man named John Swithenbank (and I think the surname appears I this section). Above this an inventory of possessions, but I've just really noticed that this part could be relevant to what I'm researching now. Thanks very much.

I was wondering if it might say Francis and hoping so, as I have a Francis in my tree... but his father isn't Richard, so this actually adds to the mystery. Thanks very much!
