1702 Settlement Certificate
« on: Sunday 22 October 23 02:09 BST (UK) »
I have transcribed a settlement certificate but there are a few spots which have defeated me and I have attached them. 
The first one I think reads "his better livelihood, maintenance, and …..  of living to inhabit in your said parish of Stoke Abbas by your permission and leave; for the furtherance".  What is the missing word please?
The second one reads "Beaminster do promise for our … and ….: to you the said Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor of the parish of Stoke Abbas and your … = that if at".  Again could someone fill in the missing words please?
Many thanks

Not sure if the first image loaded properly, here it is again if necessary.

Thank you so much.  I would never have guessed preferment. And the others are a great help to the accuracy of my transcript.
