I, John Boyle of Kelburn, commissary of Glasgow,
by the tenor hereof ratify, approve and confirm
this present testament and inventory insofar as the
same is duly and faithfully made and given up,
nothing omitted furth of (= from) the same nor set within
the just valuation therein (yairin = thairin = therein) contained, and give and admit full
power and intromission with the goods and gear above-written...
*Mr (Master) was the title given to someone, like the minister here, who had an M.A. degree from a university.
