The Wandringe and Roagish poore

From the will of Thomas Walthal, thelder, citizen, and Mercer of London. P.A.B. of St. Peters Cornhill. Dated May 14, 1611 and proved May 11, 1613. 10th great uncle.

Before dividing his estate within the family, he makes a number of bequests.
To the poore of St. Peter's, on Cornhi11, 5 marks. To Jamey Buffeilde, a poor water bearer, 20s. To the "Wandringe and Roagish poore", 5 markes to be distributed amongst them by two pence each. To Christs Hospitall, £5.
I love the wording - the Wandringe and Roagish poore.
