1686-Burial

This is the burial of Jannetge Claesdr van Straaten in 1686, from Gasthuislaan, Moorjaanshooft (pottery). 

I can see it says 14 dragers (bearers) but there's something written after the address. Can anyone decipher what that says?

Many thanks

Anne

14 dragers
Jannetje Claas vand(e)r Straaten, laast* wed(uw)e
van Willem van Teylingen aende Gasthuyslaan
int Moorjaanshooft op 't choor een meerder-
jarigh

14 bearers
Jannetje Claas vander Straaten, most recently* widow
of Willem van Teylingen, [residing] at the Gasthuislaan
in the house called Moorjaanshooft, [buried] at the chancel**, [leaving behind] one child come of age***

* expression commonly used for widow(er)s to indicate the latest partner they became widow(er) of, also indicating they had been married more than once in their lifetime
** the 'koor', in older texts like these spelled as 'choor', was a burial location within the church usually reserved for the well-to-do, only trumped by those who were buried close to the (main) altar
*** this was mentioned in order to indicate whether the Orphan's Chamber had to be alarmed for checking on the inheritance rights and/or the legal custody over orphaned children; in this case no need, as the (only) child left behind had already come of age

As always Rene, super explanation of the text. 
( Thankfully also the right URL this time- I did double check!). 
Warmest best wishes. 
Anne
