Master John Horseleigh, knight

In the earliest and mustiest volume of the Havenpool marriage registers (said the thin-faced gentleman) this entry may still be read by any one curious enough to decipher the crabbed handwriting of the date. I took a copy of it when I was last there; and it runs thus he had opened his pocket-book, and now read aloud the extract; afterwards handing round the book to us, wherein we saw transcribed the following: Mastr John Horseleigh, Knyght, of the p-ysshe of Clyffton was maryd to Edith the wyffe late off John Stocker, m-chawnte of Havenpool the xiiij daje of December be p-vylegge gevyn by our sup-me hedd of the chyrche of Ingelonde Kynge Henry the viii th 1539.
