Will of John Slogat 1604/5 transcription

[Trevellian]

Hi, I have found a digital image of a transcript written in 1963 for the will of John Slogat of Lanteglos, Cornwall, in 1604/5. Being from 1963 I can read nearly all of it, but there are a few words I would be very grateful if I could check with someone here. The parts I'm not sure on I have marked in bold but obviously if I've misread anything else please do say; thank you in advance.

.
To maintenance of church…..

Yes, I think 2 Jas 1 is correct, I.e.2nd year of the reign of James 1 (of England)

To my " Elizabeth a heifer

The spelling is heafer, which must mean heifer.

Residue to my son John Sloggat, ex(ecuto)^r

In the next line the unclear word is probably:  cosen

Note that the daughter is called Jone, never Jane.

Thank you both for your replies. I have seen that 'Jone' spelling a few times for records this old and think it must have been how they were phonetically spelling Joan. In the same vein would you say 'cosen' is the word cousin?

Yes.

The best practice from the experts on old documents is 'write what you see' without modernising words.
You can always make a more modern version as well if you wanted to for ease of reading, but it should be noted that you have updated from the original spellings.
