Observations:

This set of documents is a bit tricky to understand. The inventory is clearly headed April 1633 although the bond is dated 4 years later. The last line of the bond has been repeated on a separate slip of paper that repeats the last line of the bond document and has the signature of Cecil Parry and a mark presumably that of Mabel. It seems likely that they ran out of space when they wrote out the bond and repeated the last line to link the slip to the main document. This slip has been endorsed by the commissioner with the words signed and delivered in the presence of Roger H[remainder of signature undecipherable]. Probably the widow thought that the value of her husband's estate was too small to need to register it which is why the delay has occurred. ??
