by falsehood or flattery, or the extreme cruelty 

 of the law of this nation), I do hereby give and 

 bequeath it as followeth : First, I give my son-in- 

 law, Doctor Hawkins, and to his Wife ; to them 

 I give all my title and right of or in a part of 

 a house and shop in Pater- noster row, in London,

 London for about fifty years to come. And I 

 do also give to them all my right and title of 

 or to a house in Chancery-lane, London, wherein 

 Mrs Greinwood now dwelleth, in which is now 

 about sixteen years to come : I give these two 

 leases to them, they saving my executor from all 

 damage concerning the same. And I give to my 

 son IzAAK all my right and title to a lease of 

 Norington farme, which I hold from the lord 

 bishop of Winton : And I do also give him all 

 my right and title to a farme or land near to 

 Stafford, which I bought of Mr Walter Noell; 

 I say, I give it to him and his heirs for ever ; 

 but upon the condition following, namely; if my 

 son shall not marry before he shall be of age of 

 forty and one years, or being married, shall dye 

 before the said age, and leave no son to inherit 

 the said farme or land, — or if his son or sons 

 shall not live to attain the age of twenty and 

 one years to dispose otherways of it, — then I 

 give the said farme or land to the towne or 

 corporation of Stafford in which I was borne,
