      kylejustin It’s on ancestry.

      ’ I’ can mean ‘the’ in old writing so;
      Rec’d of the said Joseph Clements [an amount I can’t make out] thereafterwards gave to Joseph Clary to be by him divided betwixt ?the above written? Alice Heycock and Thomas Simon’s.

      That’s the best I can do with it. Hope it makes sense

          Looks like it was a customary marriage fee. I found this page which may help albeit not this parish.
