Bastard Child is now chargeable to the said parish of
Padstow and likely so to continue; and further that JOHN

Maker did beget the said Bastard Child on the Body of
her the said MARIA BOYDE And whereas the said JOHN

BOYDE and the maintenance of the said Bastard Child, to
the time of making this our Order.
And we do also hereby further order, that the said JOHN
