death and that there is a time appointed to die make this my last will and 
testament in manner and form following that is to say first of all and 
princeble (sic) I give and recommend my soul into the hand of Almighty God who 
gave me and my body to the earth from whence it came nothing doubting but I

the mighty power of Almighty God and as touching my worldly estate with which 
God had been pleased to bless me with in this lifetime, I devise and bequeath
