Attempt with some questions:

...Berrynole Close being 42 acres but ye 3d Note underwritten [?tt(es)]

^the 2 [?] Notes^

of half an acre & [Sub?itte] be more lessened by half an acre but
[yn = then?] 2 roods

come to this ffarme in Place of ye 2 last menc(i)oned roods at present [?]

Note of the last Mentioned Close there are 3 acres belonging to the

lower Copyhold held by Jack [Popty?] But
[yn = then?] Lawrence Ring his te(neme)nt has

3 acres belonging to this ffarme in a Close called Down Shard Close

Note also there is In Berrynole Close another rood of [S(i)r?] Thomas [Malett(es)?]...

I agree with the above from horselydown86.

Suggestion for the second half of line 1 and line 2:

… but ye 3d Note underwritten cutts
of[f] half an acre & ^the 2... Notes^ subject it to be more lessened by half an acre but yn 2 roods …


Perhaps Jack Poply ?

Lawrence Ring his ten(an)t ?

Perhaps S(i)r Thomas Batells ? But it doesn't really look like B or M, compared to the others seen here.
Which parish is it? He could be the clergyman?

Thank you both so much, that is very helpful.  I think the two names are Jack Popley and Laurence King.  The place is Milborne Port where the MP is Sir Thomas Travell.

Good call. The Tr... is easy to see (once you know!).
