with the consent and assent alike of the 
major and wiser part of them; and 
also, that nothing otherwise done, per- 
formed, or administered, shall be of any 
validity or efficacy. 
I desire,also,that in large transactions 
there be previously held a consultation 
with, and with the knowledge of, my 
supervisors above-named, when it can 
conveniently be done, and when the 
nature of the business requires it; to 
which two persons, that they may be 
pleased properly to undertake the duty 
of such supervision, I leave 50 marks, 
viz., to William Darel, £20, and to 
Master John Hody 20 marks. And 
to each of my executors, who is willing 
to take upon himself the above-mentioned 
administration, I also leave 20 marks 
sterling, added to which, I give besides 
to the above-mentioned Sir Dean 10 
marks, and to Robert Andrew, his co- 
executor, another 10 marks. So that 
each of them, the Dean and Robert, 
ought to have £20 for kindly accepting 
the above-named duties. 
Also, I desire that Lavington shall 
have another 20 marks heyoul what 
has already been left him, and so in the 
whole 40 marks —in order that for some 
longer time he may be able to carry on 
and continue his education. 
Also, I leave to Dionisia, the wife of 
the same Thomas, my relation, my small 
set of prayers,* called “ Pater noster,”’ 
having only as I reckon nine or ten 
[beads] in all of gold. 
Also, I leave to the same Dionisia 
five marks of silver at her own sole
