Odd word in codicil to 1619 will
« on: Thursday 06 May 21 10:06 BST (UK) »
Attached is the start of a codicil to a will of 1619. My reading of the first two lines is:

'Memorandum that I William Morton doe **** *** whatsoever may appertaine to Mrs Purficey either in'

the two words in the middle are causing me problems. The first one looks like 'race' and the second one completely beats me. [note: the reading of the name Purficey is certain as it appears several times more clearly than this]

Any suggestions?

Could the second word be 'out'? I agree the first looks like race

I agree. Perhaps race out, with the meaning of erase ?

As here ...

'race out' does make sense.
