This is what I think it says

As an aside, a twig on my tree was called Hugh Holden and he was the clerk and churchwarden of a particular church for at least ten years.
Every year, he laboriously wrote out an almost identical screed to the above, which he and the Vicar duly signed. What made me LARF, was that Hugh Holden (the parish clerk, remember...) spelled his own surname at least five different ways in that time!
