Also, I leave 100s., or more, if 
necessary, for the making of a stone * 
to be placed in the chancel of the 
Church at Mildenhall, as if . above 
my own tomb and that of my 
father and mother, and of my six 
brothers, as if we lay there together 
under that stone and in one tomb, and 
at the same time there shall be sculp- 
tured on the stone itself the likenesses 
of those eight persons, and of myself, 
and the stone shall be slightly raised 
above the floor, so as to incite the people 
to pray more devoutly for our souls, 
when they see the stone and the figures 
on it. And my executors shall com- 
pound with the Rector for his permission 
that this may be done. 
Also, I leave 25 marks to a hundred of 
the poorest and most indigent of my 
tenants of both sexes, for the due per- 
formance of which I bind the consciences 
of my executors and supervisors, viz., to 
each of them 40d. sterling. And if 
there be any of them, or of my other 
tenants, who are not really possessed of 
sufficient means to pay their rents and 
other debts due from them to me in full, 
I remit for ever the whole of that which 
they are truly unable to pay, and I 
desire that it may be remitted in per 
petuity. 
Also, I leave fo the Prioress of 
Cokehill,t in my diocese, one noble, and 
to each nun of the same 40d., and one 
mark of silver for the repair of the 
house itself. 
Also, I leave to the Master and Breth- 
another respecting casts Polton, Archdeacon of Giscecter one of the eeuntchors
