A steer is a bovine animal. It is a castrated male called a steer until it attains its full growth, then it is called on ox, but if castrated somewhat late in life it is called a stag. The male not castrated is called a bull. The female is called a cow, never an ox, but oxen may comprehend both the male and female.  A wain is at this period probably a large two wheeled ox cart (later horse drawn with four wheels). It has an open body finished with shelvings, which are a framework used in carrying corn and hay, but also suitable for a badger.   dyoces is their spelling of diocese, the circuit of a bishop. Most of the commas have been inserted by me to make the transcription easier to read.
