First and principally, I remand my soul into yea hande of allmighty God yea Father, the Son, and yea Holy ghost., my savior, redeemer, and comforter, trusting to be saved by yea mercy and passion of Jesus Christ, and to be made an Inheritor of yea kingdom of heaven. And my body to be buried in yea Parish of Baxterly in yea direction of my executrix hereafter named.
