Latin sentence at end of 1704 Will
« on: Thursday 15 July 21 11:17 BST (UK) »
This appears at the very end of the copy of the Will, after the names of the witnesses. 

I can make out:
et vicesimo quarto (24?) mensis (month?) prced. D? De?ius certificavit de pbarone ? Testamti.

What does this mean, please?  Many thanks for looking.

It's just the confirmation of probate ...

... et vicesimo quarto die mensis pręd(icti)
D(i)c(t)us Decanus certificavit de p(ro)bac(i)one hu(ius)mo(d)i Testam(en)ti

... and on the twenty-fourth day of the aforesaid month
the said Dean certified regarding the probate of this will.
