Default Latin text at the end of wills

I have been transcribing lots of wills and have therefore been getting lots of experience in the wording used. However, I am very frustrated about the lack of uniformity of the Latin text appearing in the earlier ones relating to the grant of probate. I keep hoping there will be some kind of pattern, but each time the wording appears to be different. Sometimes it is relatively short, other times I get over 10 lines of Latin.

I have to resort to Googling when I get stuck. Often abbreviations are used, which, combined with the difficulty handwriting, leave me stuck.
I hate having wills that aren't fully transcribed, so I soldier on!
