You might want to ask in the England Research group where those experienced in English records can help.I see the witnesses' surnames as TARRANT.

Hello @ChrisPetersen,
I read the marriage date as: tenth day of November . . .
The mark before the bride's name might simply be an ampersand: & (perhaps inadvertently added by the scribe despite the word "and" being preprinted at the beginning of that line).

@ChrisPetersen The mark before the bride's name could also be an "x" to indicate where the name should be placed; in any case, I think it's inconsequential to her name. The Name of the Groom in what I think is the signature line following the words "between us" is probably the shortened version "Saml" of his full given name "Samuel" spelled out on the first line of the document as Samuel Busby.
