John Brock sui Juris and Janet Paisley cum consensu parentium both in this parish booke eodem - - -

John Brock of his own right and Janet Paisley with the consent of her parents both in this parish book on the same day - - -

I'm not sure about the three characters at the end.  Could we see more entries on the same page, please, for comparison?

Late to the party, but as the original poster hasn’t yet commented ...

I agree with HD it is written Jonet.

The word in the last line is booked, meaning the couple’s names were entered in the register on that day, prior to three proclamations, probably indicated by the three symbols at the end of the line.
