An Inventory of the Goods And Chattels of John Vines lately being taken and appraised on this 10th September 1713.

1 Perhaps this means  "Collars", harness for oxen and horses.
2 This appears to be "Desperate debts" but probably alludes to money owing from various sources hence disparate or different in kind, sundry etc. " This is a common feature of inventories, and means debts owing to the deceased that are 'despaired of', i.e. little hope of repayment remains." Ms A. J. Maddock, researcher.

Note: John was buried 6 days after signing his will, ie 20th August 1713, aged 46. His relatively young age and the consumable nature of some items (hay, wood, bacon, lard) in this inventory, made on 10th Sept., point to an unexpected event, perhaps a sudden illness like a stroke or heart attack.
He was interred at Brinkworth.

From the above will his family was:
John Vines & Christian
       Benjamin
      Daniel
      John
       Charles
