Well, I know enough that Vs were used for both v and u. So then trvste becomes trust with an e added. Ys were used as Is so that somtyme then can be read as sometime. Some of the words are totally incomprehensible to me however. Sorry:)

I believe this part of the first line “Man here thov mayste yntombed”, reads A man here though may be entombed.

Also, sometimes a ‘y gets rendered as ‘th’ as in “Ye”, and what looks like an ‘f’ may be a soft “s” as you may see even in later writings like our Founding documents...

That said, I have no idea what a “feofee” would be.
