Could I have a new pair of eyes on just how many children are referred to in this snippet from the Will of Henrie Scatergood from Chaddesden, Derby please?

I can read that it says 'lands to go to the next of my fift.... children being man childe'   but just unsure whether it's meant to be 'five' children of 'fifteen'.   (Baptisms are a bit thin on the ground!) 

And just for added interest, I came across an article in the Derby Evening Telegraph in 1956, which told the following local history story about Henrie:

"During a plagues between 1594 and 1595 Henry Scattergood of Chaddesden contracted this then fatal disease and desired to make his will.  He wished to make a settlement to his second wife, Fortune Fletcher. 
Apparantly there was some diffidence on the part of those educated people as to who would take down this will of the poor man and eventually it fell upon the minister, Mr Chawner to do this kindly deed.
But when Henry realised this he forbade the minister to enter his house saying he was of too much use to the community to risk catching the disease.
Henry Scattergood ordered a chair to be scrubbed and placed on the cobblestones some distance from his window, and it was here the minister sat and wrote down the last will and testament on parchment, as the gravely ill man gave his directions from the open window.
Surely the most public will ever to be made"

Any and all thoughts on the handwriting would be gratefully received! - thanks,  Aitch

Is anyone able to identify this uniform please?  Could have been Royal Artillery but really don't know for sure.  He lived near Folkestone.  There was an army barracks at Cheriton, so may have been based there?
TIA

Thankyou @Jebber.    I guess it's one hope too many that there might be records for any of these Napoleonic era servicemen?   Any thoughts?

@KGarrad @ShaunJ.  Thankyou both.  Interesting reads all round and given that Phoebe cites 'Holland Batteries at Sea' maybe could suggest it was a floating one,   What is a bit baffling for me is what women were doing on board for her to have been born there?  Would it have been normal to have women in/on a battery?  And would they have been British or was it possible that they may have been Dutch for example if it was in or around Holland as she suggests?  Any thoughts?
