Can anyone help with the translation of this bann/marriage record for George Farrington and Charity Loveridge. There is an abbreviation ptw that I do not understand (it is not on all the other entries) and I am not sure if she was a widow. The record is from Woodbury Devon in 1657. Any suggestions very welcome. Thank you.

I think it says 'ptie' = 'party'.
The final paragraph begins 'And the said pties (parties) George Farrington and Charity .........'
