Transcribing 1648

Making a start on my goals list for the week, while I have a very disturbed night neurologically.

Some bits of this document are vastly easier to read than others. And I remain rubbish at reading abbreviations for numbers in the period. But can improve that. This is good practice.

New Scots word: perfyte

Well new to me. As used in the 1648 will I'm transcribing e.g.

"or thair severall mantenance until the sd tyme of thair marriage or perfyte age"

and elsewhere it seems to specify that latter age as "xxi yeirs complett" i.e. 21.

This is all reminding me of the Madame de Pompadour Doctor Who episode - "She is not complete!"

Here is the relevant Scots dictionary definition.
