The first image of your second post reads (to my best ability)... "and Testament in manner and forme following first I give  to the high Church of Chrichester 4(th) Item I give to the poore of the parish of   Tillington fortie...  I will attempt the others too  :)
And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.

Agreed  :)  The word 'Item' implies the start of a new sentence.

The name of the church is Chichister  :)

I just realized the poster wasn't looking for exact translation but names...
And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.

Hopefully this will be the last time I shall have to ask for help in transcribing the attached.
'And if it shall happen that any of my said daughters Barbara, Mary and Elizabeth shall die before they shall --------------- age of three and twenty years that then the -------------- of them happening to die shall be equally divided between them that shall be living. Item, I give unto ---------- of my godchildren ------- And I do make & ordain Agnes my loving wife to be executor of this my last Will & testament and I do ----------- my loving friends Walter King of Rothenbury and Edmond King of River to be --------------- and I do give to each of them five shillings apiece.'
I think I'll have to put the attachment on a separate post.
