« on: Tuesday 15 November 22 00:23 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate it is someone would kindly translate the attachment for me, from Latin to English.

The attachment is from AALT bCP40, 1068 dorses from year 1531 of Henry VIII and describes:
Debt.  Elizabeth COWPER, widow,  Laurence COWPER  Husbandman 
           Executors,  Simon COWPER,   Laurence COWPER

           Defendant:  William Johnson alias PYPER of Shimpling  Husbandman
All help appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Regards
