Not at all. I think we all feel that way when someone else sees it  ;)

Working backwards, we have:

utensills of husbandry...

one old hair cloath - I think he started to write hair, then scrubbed the h so he could add the adjective old.

Although it's an odd formation of the letter, I think all those "E"s are Ts.

So Timber for Carts... and severall Turnells (as you know).

I think it's a brewing Stund meaning Stand.

Agree with Gobbarts or Gobbartes.

This is probably a form of the word cobbords, which, as I recall, you introduced me to some time ago.

ADDED:

Found the post:  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01krv/

Meaning cobbirons.

Thanks HD86

A t instead of e would certainly make more sense. It certainly cleans up a few words. After I had posted I did spot the word husbandry. I could see it from a distance but not close up  :o

Thanks again

1.  Sow
2.  Therssed = Threshed
3.  Straw - and ditto in the next item

ADDED:

That form of w is characteristic of many C16th and C17th writers.
