my soul into the hands of Almighty God who gave it; And my body I recommend to
the dust-to be burried in a decent Christian manner at the discretion of my
executors, nothing doubting but I shall receive the same at the general
resurrection. And touching the wordly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to
bless me in this life I give demise and dispose of in the following manner and
form. Inprimis I give and bequeath unto my three sisters, Rachael, Esther and
Serah the sum of four shillings
