[Smith's Charity is still in existence.]
The great Henry Smith bequest, whose monument and Latin epitaph Davis transcribes at length in his own Introduction, reaches the parish poor here as a direct £20 cash gift from his executors -- alongside Thomas Dobson's £5 legacy (delivered via London Alderman Robert Ducie and a City stationer) and the continuing rent from Thomas Brisley's house bought with Mrs Tyroe's own £50 legacy. Three of this volume's major charitable threads converge on this single page.
Sum’a tota: receiptscvij xiij ij ob.
A rough hand-sum of this year's many individual receipt lines runs several pounds higher than this printed total -- flagged rather than forced, consistent with this volume's recurring pattern of unreconciled totals; the individual line figures are transcribed exactly as printed regardless.

Pd the waterman to Carry ito o ij
Given by Consent xxviijth of May vnto one George ffisher, who had endured much Losse by Sea and slauery vnder the Turkeso j o
Barbary corsair raids and enslavement of English sailors and coastal villagers were a real and widely-feared threat through the 1620s -- George ffisher's "slauery vnder the Turkes" is transcribed exactly as printed, alongside the "thre Irish women" relieved for the same cause earlier in this volume (Build 14).
Given by Consent the 28th of May to Goodwife Hartwell of the Garrett she being sicko ij vj
Given by Consent vnto the Ringers the vjth of June when the King went through the Towne to Portsmoutho ij o
Charles I passed through in June 1627 en route to Portsmouth, where the Duke of Buckingham's fleet was gathering for the disastrous expedition to the Isle of Ré in support of the besieged Huguenots at La Rochelle -- the bell-ringers paid two shillings to mark the royal passage.

Ginen by Consen on the xvth of June to goody Symmons for nursing a bastard Childeo iiij o
Giuen the Clarke by Consent for buriall of certaine poore people in the sicknes timeo ij vj
"the sicknes time" -- almost certainly another reference to plague, echoing the 1625 outbreak recorded earlier in this volume (Build 13); Davis gives no further gloss here.
Pd by Consent for Certaine things to appell the bastard Childe, namely ffor an vpper Coate and an vnder Coate vs viijd ffor soe much linnen Cloth as made it, 2 shirts 4 biggins, 1 headbands, and 2 bands js xd which altogether comes too vij vj

Page 156.
Given the xijth of July vnto one Rachiell Corlion whose husband was taken by the Dunkerkes hauing a certificate from the Maior of Louth in Cornwello j o
Another Dunkirker (privateer) case, this time a direct capture rather than a goods-loss -- Rachiell Corlion's husband was taken, presumably held for ransom or worse, a real hazard of the 1620s Channel.
Pd goody Symond the 16th of July her months pay for nurssing the bastard childeo ij viij
Pd Mr Glascock the 26th of July for makinge the Lease from the Loʒ Grandisonj o o

Pd for a Salmon the 30th of July by a generall Consent wch was sent to Mr Smithj ij o
Pd the waterman that carryed it by consento ij o
Given a poore man with a certificatevj o o
A strikingly large sum next to the shilling-and-pence charity surrounding it on this page -- transcribed exactly as printed, though the gap in scale (compare 1s. for a captured sailor's wife, a few pence for burnt-out women) is worth noting rather than silently smoothing over.
Given by Consent to old Wilkins at two seuʒall times in his sickneso iij o

Pd for boatehire theno j iij
Pd the Clarke by Consent for his paines in seruinge the warrant on the Mother of the Childeo v o
The "bastard childe" thread running through 1627-28 resolves here: after months of wet-nursing (Goody Symons, paid monthly) and new clothing bought specially for it, the parish obtained a warrant from the Lord Chief Justice to compel the mother's appearance, then paid to carry the child out of Wandsworth to be delivered to her -- a routine but human illustration of parish bastardy law in practice.

Confirms this year's earlier "Recõd for the bells at Mr Smiths buriall" (Build 16) -- the parish also spent on mending baldricks specially for Henry Smith's funeral, further evidence of the ceremony's significance.
