      IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN, the sixth day of March in the 43re year of the reigne of our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth by the grace of God of England, France and Ireland Queen, defender of the faith, etc., I, JOHN KNIGHTSMITHE of the parish of St. Mary Bredman in the City of Canterbury, baker, being sick in body but of good and perfect remembrance God be praised therefore do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, viz.,

      First, I commend my soul unto Almighty God hoping to be saved by the merits, death and passion of Christ Jesus my only saviour and redeemer and myt body to be buried in the church of St. Mary Bredman in the City of Canterbury aforesaid,

      And touching all such moveable goods and chattells, whatsoever the which I have and enjoy and of right do belong and appertain unto me (my debts being first paid) I will, give and bequeath them to MARGERY my wife and RICHARD KNIGHTSMITH my son equally between them to be divided,

      Also I make and ordain RICHARD SNIGHTSMITH my son my sole Executor of this my last Will and Testament, PROVIDED always and my will and mind is that MARGERY my wife shall within one month next after my decease by writing under her hand and seal or by such other sufficient conveyance in the law as the learned counsel of William Watmer of the City of Canterbury, Gentleman shall devie, release unto him the said WILLIAM WATMER and to MARIAN WATMER the now wife of the said WILLIAM WATMER and to their heirs and assigns all such right, title, interest, dower or widowright as she hath or hereafter may have of and in the house and tenements wherein I now dwell with all and singular edifices, buildings, and appurtenances whatsoever to the same belonging in such ample manner as he the said WILLIAM WATMER and MARIAN his now wife and their heirs and assigns may have and enjoy the said house with appurtenances acquited, released, and discharged of all right, interest, and widowright or dower as she the said MARGERY hath or may have in the same or in any part thereof,

      And if the said MARGERY shall neglect or refuse to make such releases or conveyance as is above mentioned and the same as her act and deed deliver according to law in that behalf provided, and according to the true meaning of this my Will, then I will and my mind is that she the said MARGERIE shall have no benefit by this my Will nor have nor enjoy any gift or legacy by this my Will to her given and bequeathed but this my Will touching her benefit shall be void and of none effect to all intents and purposes anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, And then I will and my mind is that RICHARD my son shall have all my moveable goods and chattells of what nature or condition they be of by him to be enjoyed to his own use paying my debts.

      IN WITNESS that this is my last Will and Testament I have hereunto set my hand and seal dated the day and yere first above written.
