Code in Burial listing

Hi
I am  new to family History and am stuck on understanding what  Cler: A.M. means in a burial record for Henry price in 1725

Welcome to Rootschat.
He  was buried in Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd.  There are a lot more glowing notes about him suggesting that he was a well educated man, possibly clergy.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the area can add more.

Welcome from me too :)

My best guess is Cler = Cleric and A.M. is a form of M.A. (Master of Arts - possibly Oxford/Cambridge)

The Clerical Database.....  https://theclergydatabase.org.uk/jsp/search/index.jsp

.....has the entry shown below for him

Unfortunately, the Latin is a little beyond the "Amo, Amas, Amat, Amamus, Amatis, Amant" I grew up with.

Screenshot the image then crop it.Save it.
Use Google Lens to open and translate to English.
It gives a good result.
If you like you can transcribe it for here.😉
