This from the will of a precentor, dated 1415:
"Item lego capelle Sancti Andree de Mottrum unum librum missale unum
calicem et unum vestimentum et c s. in subsidium capellani ibidem
celebrantis secundum disposicionem consanguineorum meorum ibidem
habitancium."

I think I've got most of it:
Item, I bequeathe to the chapel of Saint Andrew in Mottram a missal, a
chalice, and a set of vestments and one hundred shillings ( to
subsidize/support?) the chaplain there, according to the discretion of my
kinfolk residing there.

Is that (largely) correct?

In my defense - it's been 22 years since my last Latin class : - )

Thanks,
Helen
