Vppon consideracon of the buisnes referred to or considera- con, touching the chilldren of John Porter of Wyndsor, deceas- ed, wee findinge some expressions of his, that hee would make the portions of his two eldest daughters as good as his younger, allso wee conceiue the eldest were helpefull to the estate, and that the Lord hath taken away one of the younger daughters, and that the rest of the chilldren are disposed of without dam- age to theire portions ; or apprehensions are (if the Courte see meete) that the two eldest daughters portions bee made vp thirty pounds a peece.
