Will. Translated out of French.
This Munday Twelfth June 1693 I have ordered my Second Sonn to write that my desire is that my plate be sould and of what shall be found in money and medalls there be given out of it to my eldest daughter seaventy-seven pounds for to repay to her sisters and to her younger brother the money she hath borrowed of them. Lett a hundred pounds be laid out upon the Excise Act, the principall to be lost for that of my other Three Daughters who shall not be maintained by her brothers for to enjoy it during her life — and as much upon that of my third sonn for to enjoy it allso during his life — and Tenn pounds to my second sonn besides the seaven which I have already lent him and my watch. I will allsoe that my Library be given to my eldest son, Upon Condition that if my young sonn doth study Divinity he shall give him part of them; and if not, he shall have it all wholly to himself. And I desire allsoe that the Will which shall be found amongst my papers be declared null. I desire allso that my Diamond ring be given to my daughter Jany, and my Chagrin Psalmes with golden clasps. And to my daughter Nanny my deare wife’s Neckclesse of Pearles. I desire allso that Tenn Pounds be given to my eldest daughter besides the above said Seaventy seaven pounds. And that all my moveables be sold, and what shall accrue from them be equally shared between my two daughters who shall have no share [claim?] to the hundred pounds nor to the Seaventy seaven pounds above said. And that if above Two hundred pounds be made of them there shall be given Thirty pounds thereout to my second sonn. And in case above Two hundred and thirty pounds be made of them that the surplusage be equally shared between all my daughters. I give my surplices and my other cloaths to my eldest sonn. And as for my linnen and my other cloaths my will is that they be equally distributed between my two eldest sonns. And if anything be gott of the Law Suite which I have against Mr Lewson, and of my Estate in France, my will is that it be equally distributed between all my children. I name my eldest sonn Executor of this my Will and order him thet if anything remaines it be equally shared between all my children, except what arrearages are due to me for my Prebend of Westmr. which I give wholly to my said eldest sonn. In witnesse whereof I do signe this Tuesday the thirteenth ———. My Dear Father hath allso told us that if ever any thing comes to him of what is due to him of the Coronation, his Will is it be equally distributed between all his children. DE L’ANGLE.
