This poser contains examples of emboldened letters taken from a volume of 17th century Orkney testaments (Crown copyright, National Records of Scotland, CC17/2/8).
Look out for phrases you would expect to find at the beginning of clauses in testaments and also for Orkney place names. There are a few dates to decipher too.

Questions: transcribe the emboldened words and, if you wish, the surrounding words and phrases (some of which are quite small by comparison).
