It does appear to resemble an Se in the probate.

The names in the probate are also witnesses in the Will, which made me think it was a C, but now I'm not so sure

Thank you to all for your input and links.   :)
 
So Pedware, the podded legumes in Kent seemed to include peas and beans, among other crops
 
Further reading I ended up finding here:

Crops grown by east Kent yeomen in the seventeenth century included oats, wheat, barley and rye, hay, timber, hops, flax, hemp, tares (a vetch or lentil-like plant), peas, beans,
apples and pears.

And here:

Of mixed corn, as peas and beans, sown together, tares and oats (which[Pg 136] they call bulmong), rye and wheat (named miscelin)

Also thank you Bookbox for correcting some > se(a)me  :)

Pulse was my thought, too. If so, was it referring to any particular legume type during that era

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Half a quarter of pedware

In this 1565 Will, the testator from Thanet bequeathed the following:

Also I gyve & bequeythe to Robert Astone the sone of Ryc(hard) Astone halfe a some of wheat & half a some of barl(e)ye w(i)th half a quart(er) of pedware to be delyv(er)ed unto him w(i)thin on(e) ye(a)re after my desease

Is the term pedware referring to some type of dried seed, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas or peas?

Quarter measure here I figure to be the equivalent of around 8 bushels and half being 4.
