religious persons refuse to perform the 
duties here assigned them, in return for 
their legacies as directed above, I take 
those legacies away, and desire that they 
may be given in addition to the Priory 
of Bisham, if they are willing to dis- 
charge such duties. Otherwise, I desire 
that other religious [persons] according 
as may seem good to my executors may 
have those legacies with the duties at- 
tached, in order that they may more 
devoutly pray in their masses for my 
soul, with a special collect, in times to 
come. 
Also, I leave to the Priory of Maiden 
Bradley,* in the Sarum diocese, 20s. 
Also, I leave to the Priory of Wors- 
pring,t in Wells diocese; 20s. 
Also, I leave to the Priory of Bisham, 
Sarum diccese, where I have chosen to 
be buried, for the work of their Church; 
£20; and to each canon there one noble, 
and to every servant in the house itself 
20d. : 
Also, I leave to the Prior of that 
house 20s., and to the house itself I 
leave my eross, a very beautiful one with 
a foot, which I also assigned to them by 
deed during my life.. 
Also, I leave to them my “ Greater 
Decrees,” and “Cassidonus { on the 
Psalter,” on condition that they never be 
alienated from the house or carried out 
of the priory by anyone, on pain of the 
greater anathema.
