I will that Joan my wife shall have the use of my own dwelling house in London wherein my said late father last dwelt so long as she remains sole and unmarried, she paying the yearly rent of 40s. to the Queen for the same.

Whereas there is an annuity of £50 issuing out of all my lands and tenements in the parishes of St. Bridget alias St. Bride and St. Martin, London, to my mother Elizabeth Hill, widow, during her natural life: I will that the rents and profits of my 3 messuages in the said parish of St. Bride, now in the several tenures of George Onslowe, John Crosse and Thomazine Cozen, widow, and my 2 tenements lying near St. Bride's churchyard, sometime in the several occupations of Richard Fytchett and Roger Barker, and my 2 messuages in the said parish now or late in the several tenures of Henry Jones and William Saye shall be employed towards the payment of the said annuity, and that the residue. of my said lands and tenements in the said parishes shall not be charged therewith; and therefore I hereby appoint that Edmond Bragge my eldest son shall during the life of my said mother take the rents and profits of the 7 messuages, except £420 or so much thereof as shall be unpaid at the time of my decease due to me in the name of a fine or "incombe" for the said messuage in the tenure of the said Thomasine Cozen, by force of an indenture of lease dated 12 June, 34 Eliz., for the natural life of my said Mother Elizabeth Hill, to the intent that he shall with the said rents pay the said annuity to my said mother, at such time and place and in such manner and form as in an indenture tripartite dated 14 February, 28 Eliz.
