17th century deed of sale COMPLETED with thanks

[fizzix]

This is an Indenture relating to the sale of Modbury House in Devon in 1698 from Sarh Champernowne to Henry Legassicke. I'm attempting to decipher this (out of interest, no relation) and I'm getting there, despite the squirly writing & legalese  However there's, what appears to be, a vital word that I can't decipher & I'm hoping someone here can help. I've attached a segment of the document & a couple of shots of the offending word, or possibly words, i'm not even sure of that as it may be these something.
Thanks in advance for any help

The words are:  ...these p(re)sents...

The superscript squiggle between the p and s is a standard contraction which usually replaces the letters re.

.....these presents....


Edit, sorry hd, we must have posted simultaneously as I didn’t get a red warning

No need for any apology, Jen.

Wow, that was quick thank you so much. I've learnt a few new words doing this  but that one had eluded me.
Can you tell me does no with a th superscript stand for notwithstanding, which is my guess?
Thanks again for your help

I suspect what you are describing is w^th = with.

Notwithstanding would normally be:  notw^tstanding or notw^thstanding

Please post an image so as to be sure.

Thanks, that would also work in the context

[horselydown86]

That word is actually w(hi)^ch:

...evidences whatsoever w(hi)^ch concern...

Thanks again, that's brilliant
