WALTON'S WILL. 27 



" A mite for a million, I. W. obiit ; " and to his friends here- 

 after named, I give to each of them a ring, with this motto : 



" A friend's farewell, I. W. obiit ." And my will is, the said 



rings be delivered within forty days after my death : and that the 

 price and value of all the said rings shall be thirteen shillings and 

 fourpence a-piece. I give to Dr. Hawkins " Doctor Donne's Ser- 

 mons," which I have heard preacht, and read with much content. 

 To my son Izaak, I give Doctor Sibbs his " Soul's Conflict ; " and to 

 my daughter his "Bruised Reed," 1 desiring them to read them 

 so as to be well acquainted with them. And 1 also give unto 

 her all my books at Winchester and Droxford, and whatever in 

 those two places are, or I can call mine, except a trunk of linnen, 

 which I give to my son Izaak : but if he do not live to marry, or 

 make use of it, then I give the same to my grand-daughter, 

 Anne Hawkins. And I give my daughter " Doctor Hall's 

 Works," which be now at Farnham. To my son Izaak I give all 

 my books, not yet given, at Farnham Castell ; and a deske of 

 prints and pictures ; also a cabinett near my bed's head, in which 

 are some little things that he will value, though of no great 

 worth. And my will and desire is, that he will be kind to his 

 aunt Beachame, and his aunt Eose Ken ; by allowing the first 

 about fifty shillings a year, in or for bacon and cheese, not more, 

 and paying four pounds a year towards the boarding of her son's 

 dyet to Mr. John Whitehead : for his aunt Ken, I desire him to 

 be kind to her, according to her necessity and his own abilitie ; 

 and I commend one of her children, to breed up as I have said I 

 intend to do, if he shall be able to do it, as I know he will ; for 

 they be good folke. I give to Mr. John Darbyshire the 

 " Sermons " of Mr. Anthony Farringdon or, of Dr. Sanderson ; 

 which, my executor thinks fit. To my servant, Thomas Edgill, 

 I give five pound in money, and all my cloths linnen and woollen 

 except one suit of cloths, which I give to Mr. Hollinshed, and 

 forty shillings if the said Thomas be my servant at my death ; 

 if not, my cloths only. And I give my old friend, Mr. Eichard 

 Marriot, 2 ten pounds in money, to be paid him within three 

 months after my death ; and I desire my son to shew kindness 

 to him if he shall neede, and my son can spare it. And I do 

 hereby will and declare my son Izaak to be my sole executor of 

 this my last will and testament ; and Doctor Hawkins to see 

 that he performs it ; which I doubt not but he will. I desire 

 my burial may be near the place of my death, and free from 

 any ostentation or charge, but privately. This I make to be my
