Thought I should make a clarification.  I am actually viewing the below (actual image) record on-line on the ERO SEAX site.  I was hoping that someone else might have a subscription to viewing these records as I do and be able to view the record and help decipher the word.  Sorry if I was unclear. Thanks Donna  I am trying to decipher a latin word following the groom's name in a marriage record of 1589, ERO SEAX on-line images, Newport, Essex, St. Mary the Virgin.September 15 1589 (Image 28) William Nightingale Elizabeth Tillinghurst I can only say that the last letter looks to be an "h" and there looks to be an "h" towards the beginning of the 7 letter word.  Possibly an "o" in the word. I am fairly familiar with most of the Latin terms in these old records, but this one has stumped me.  The groom is noted in other records/articles as an attorney/barrister/lawyer.  I have researched the ways that this occupation might be written in these records and so far nothing that I find seems to equate to what I see on this page. Any help anyone can be would be greatly appreciated. Donna TILLINGHAST Casey Michigan, USA The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
