Rough translation into English:
Against Bridget Roos wife of Peter Roos of Laxton, esquire, and Ralph Brette of
the same. [along with a number of other people]
To appear by the Acts. On the same day and place, a citation having been sent out,
according to the apparitor, for them to appear to purge their morals, the Lord pronounced
all and singular of them to be contumacious, and for the punishment for their contumacy
decreed them to be excommunicate, and assigned in his place Magister Charles Aynsworth,
clerk, to give the sentence of excommunication, and Mr Charles Aysnworth, clerk,
excommunicated all and singular of them according to the Lord's preceding prescription,
as the writing shows etc.
