And howe be it, as synfull creature^ in synns conceyved, and in synne have lyved; kn o win ge perfectly that of my merits I cannot atteyn to the lyfe everlastyng, but only by the merits of thy blissid passid, and passion, and of thyne infinite mercy and grace. Nevertheless my mercifull Redemer, Maker, and Savyour, I trust that by the speciall grace and mercy of thy blessyd mother, ever virgyn, our' Lady Mary, in whom, after the in this mortall lyfe, hath ben my moost singular trust and confidence, to whom in all my necessities I have made my contynuall refuge, and by whom I have hitherto ever had my speciall comfort and releef ; will in my moost extreme nede, of her infinite pitye, take my soule into her hands, and hit present unto her moost dere sonne ; whereof^ swete Lady of mercy, very mother and virgyn, well of petie, and surest refuge of all nedefull, moost humbly, most intirely, and roost hartely I beseche the, and for my comfort in this behalfe I trust.

In recompense whereof, I have purchased certeyn lands in Aylmerton, Suffeld, Colby, Albye, Melton, Briston, Crown- thorpp, Wykylwood, Sustede, and Bentley, in Yorkshire, and in other places, to the yerely value of xlvi/. by the yjre and above.

And wher I have putt certem ma- nors in feoffment, and declared my last will of them, to- warde the helping of my two younger sonnes, I think it very reasonable, and that my next heire shuld in noo wyse grudge at it; for I have redemyd all my lands out of King Henry the Seventh's hands who had of me in money, for the same mmdcgcl marks, over and above my costs of sute for the same. Also I have paid to Mary, Jane, and Kate- ryn Scrope, my first wyfs susters, m L in redy mony, the whych was owyng for the purchas of Bentley, and Hemel- thwayte, in Yorkshire, purchased by my fader Sir John Wyndham. And also I have left in possession ane rever- sion, as much lands to my next heire, of myn own'purcheas, as I have gevyn to my two younger sonnys, the which lyeth more necessarye for him, than the other dyd. In wit- nesse, &c. Proved 4th March 1522.
