The 's' of Somerset is quite distinctive and looks different from the first letter of the occupation. The 'd' in Godfrey also seems different.

I think they're basically the same, but some are written a bit more carefully than others, so I'd go with Sadler. There are in fact three different types of "r" in that snip, so clearly the writer had some variation in his style.

I would say Sadler.

There's no comparison with the 'J' in John.
