Translation:

On which day and before us appeared alias William of Gozeth, or William, also known as of Hawks Hall,

In absence of Gozeth [or Gozeth’s heir], the office of his feoffate, and of the executor of John, for the administration of public goods.

In the custody of the notary, the delivery of the will of Hawks-Hall had ceased; he alleged that it passed to William.

and William of Goza, said to be the defender, by the will of the people, the administrator of the judgment above

Thus was Christ once born amidst mist. And the pious, from among the faithful, despair — so says my witness

William alleged goods in the notes, or offerings for inspection, [of the] aforesaid Successor of the Notary or by the

They are such as were afterwards occupied, and Goesus was sent under the direction of the said John.

The present [party] states, and before the presiding official, that he is a public vassal † [as] written in the notary’s record, otherwise.

During the public parochial oaths of Thomas Hoskes, Thomas accepted those oaths through William.

Note: These two images are linked. The second is more or less a continuation of the first. The first discusses the disposition of estates, particulary Hawks Hall [Hawkeswood] among brothers after Thomas’ death, and the second confirms an administration grant involving William and his mother Elizabeth for managing Roger’s estate—likely in coordination with or as a consequence of Thomas' passing. The transcriber thought the second was someone elses’s will.
