I have a PCC transcript of will from 1488 which has some words I'm unsure about - see underlined words in attached images.
Any assistance in deciphering these words would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Here is the first image. More to come later.
In the meantime, it's helpful if you can please supply the name of the testator. Different versions of PCC images can often be easier to read.
...found them to scole and o(th)(er)wise... [It's the letter thorn.]
...they been proferrid to worship... [= were]
...hold theim co(n)tent and pleasid... [One word split over two lines.]
...I applye me and p(ro)pose to helpe other... [= apply myself]
...they been contentyd of ther p(ar)tes... [Again, one word split over two lines.]
...help theim and soco(ur) theim... [= succour. Not overly sure of this one.]

Thanks again

I've had a look at the uncertain part of the third image, with partial success:
...childern as moche as
is in [?] possible...
I also noticed that in the next line it is:
...made unto me and other of and in the Maner of...
ADDED:
The last pink part of image 3 is:
...The Remen(a)nt of...
