Latin margin note to PCC probate 1666
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 00:41 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with this short passage in Latin added to the margin of the probate record of a PCC will? The will - of Richard Cooth of Sherborne - was originally proved by his widow Margaret in 1652 but this was added in 1666. I assume it's something to do with his grandson taking over the administration but my Latin's not up to a full translation.

Thank you
David
