line 5 – a gad or gadd is an iron rod or stick (according to OED)

line 10 – One hundred Eighty Six poundes of puter at 9d p(er) l (= 186 lbs of pewter at 9 pence per pound)

I agree with drinking copper, sausepans and ffifteene hundered poundes of Lead

Not sure about line 1 - looks like ffurme ?

Line 1 could be furnace, but the 'a' might be another vowel. A furnace was an oven or portable fire stand.
