Whereas by the Providence of God, I WILLIAM WHITING doe intend a voyage presently vnto sea, mans life being all- wayes incident to change, but so much the more in regard of my voyage, therfore, I did thinke good, if God should not re- turne mee with safety, to leaue some lynes in generall, as my last Will and Testament. And whereas that estate I haue doth lye in such a manner as it is vncerteine what it will bee, therfore my will is it should bee thus devided : I giue vnto my loving wife, halfe my houshould stuffe of all kinds, and one fourth parte of my whole personall estate; and her widdowes estate in my now dwelling howse and lands at Hartford, vntill my sonne William bee the age of twenty and one yeares, and after, if shee continue a widdow, I giue her the one halfe of my said howse and land for her life. I bequeath vnto my sonne William, one hundred pound more then I giue vnto either my sonne John or my sonne Samuell. I bequeath vnto my sonne John one hundred pounds more, and my sonne Samuell, one hundred pounds more a peece, then I giue vnto my daughter Sarah or vnto my daughter Mary. The fourth parte of my es- tate being taken out for my wife, one hundred pound for my eldest sonne not being accounted with the rest, hee hauing an equall proportion with my two other sonns in the estate, my other two sonns and hee taking one hundred a peece, I bequeath the rest of my estate thus ; first, to haue 20l. paid vnto Mr Hooker, towards the furtherance of setting forth for the benefitt of the church his worke uppon the 17th of John,* with any else hee doth intend. I desire Mr. Stone may haue added vnto the 5l. I did promise him, 5l. more. Allso, I be- queath 5l. towards the mending of the high wayes betwixt my howse and the meeting howse. Allso, I giue 5l. to some godly poore in the Towne. These sums being taken out, I doe be- queath the rest of my estate vnto my fiue children to bee equally deuided amongst them, that is, euery one a like propor- tion ; and this my said estate to bee improued vnto the best ad- vantage for the breeding vpp of my children in learning, to
