Dear Liz I've no idea of whether I've got the right line, or even the right part of the document but I have transcribed line 14 (or what I think is line 14) as 'was with the app[urtenance]s Conveyed and assured unto and to the use of the s[ai]d' Please enlighten me as to whether I am 'on the right line/s' with this one.

Hi Audrey, No that's a different page. It's line 14 in the second page. The URL directly to that page is http://www.annforbes.org/hux2.html I think it says 13. ...Now this Ind[entu]re witnesseth 14. that in Cons[iderati]on of the [..?..] & of the sum of (see also line 25 re Cons'on) Martyn had Com[m]on in both line 14 and 25 but it doesn't seem to fit the context very well. My suggestion of Cons[iderati]on fits the sense better and isn't beyond the writer's powers of abbreviation. But the word we're after is the missing one, or maybe two, word(s)in the middle of the line.
