      IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN, the one and twentieth day of December in the year of our Lord God one thousand six hundred fifty and four, I, JOHN ROOME, of Further Hakenige in the parish of Folkestone in the County of Kent, yeoman, being in good health and perfect memorie and understanding (praised be God therefore) do make and declare this to be my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say,

      First, I bequeath my poor and sinful soul into the hands of almighty God my maker and redeemer and in Jesus Christ my most merciful and loving father in full hope and assurance through his mercy in Christ's merits only to have and enjoy my portion with the rest of God's elect in everlasting life and glory and my body to the earth whereof it was first framed to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executrix hereafter named,

      Item, I give and bequeath unto my son THOMAS ROOME ten shillings to be paid unto him within one year next after my death.

      Item, I give and bequeath unto my daughter Judith now the wife of JOHN HOGBEN forty shillings to be paid unto her within one year next after my death.
