1600 Testament Testamentar & Inventar - need help deciphering some words

[Zacktyr]

Hello Rootchatters,

This is the earliest Scottish document I have tackled and I find the penmanship very challenging.  Although I have about 80% of this document transliterated there are words and passages I just can't decipher on my own.  So, any help is greatly appreciated.  There are 8 parts in total that I need help with so I'll post 4 in this post and 4 in my next post.

Thank you.

The remaining 4 parts are attached.
