save sinners (whereof w^th S^t. Paull I
confesse my selfe the greatest) to laye downe his life for mankinde
& that he dyed for me & for my salvac{~COMBINING OVERLINE~}on, & that he rose againe
the third day for my iustificac{~COMBINING OVERLINE~}on, that where he now is, I shall
be there alsoe after my dissolution & I hope & looke to be saved
only by his mirritts, death & passion alone, & by noe other meanes
whatsoever, & when itt shall please Almighty God to putt an end &
period to these my dayes here on earth, ending this my pilgrimage,
and layeing downe this my earthly Tabernackle.

Then I comitt & bequeath this my nowe liveing body to the earth
from whence itt came, & the same to be buryed (yf I fortune to dye
in Yorke or otherwise yf itt may be done wth convenyency) in the
p'ish Church of St. Crux w^{th}in the said Citty of Yorke in the
Chancell of the said Church & to be enterred as neare as may be
unto the body of my late dearely beloved wife Anne Deane deceased
w^{th}out any bowelling or embalmeing, & there to be decently
enterred by toarch light, w^{th}out any further funerall pompe or
solempnity whatsoever, beinge (as I thinke) a custome not
altogeither laudable to banquett & feast att funeralls w^ch rather
ought to be a tyme of mourneing, then banqueting and feasting

w^th said body of myne I knowe & beleive assuredly that I shall
rise againe att the last day, & be reunited & ioyned againe unto my
soule & that itt shall be made like unto Christ his glorious body,
that where he is, there I shall be alsoe liveing and reigneing w^th
him in his everlasting kingdome for ever.

vouchsafed to bestowe on me (or rather lent me as his steward) I
bequeath it thus as followeth
