Might be what we would now call Laurie short for Laurence/Lawrence.

I'd agree with Henry.
It's a typical capital 'H'of this hand.
The second letter is the 'backwards' 'e' seen all over this piece and also typical of this hand.
The 'n' is exactly the same as the 'n' in the word previous word 'sonne'.
The 'r is the same as the 'r' in 'her' on the last line.
And the 'y is the same as in 'Twenty' on line 5.
