and minor spelling variations:

Barbara, Mary and Elizabeth shall dye before they shall atteyne to there severall
and respective age of Three and Twentie yeares That then the porc(i)on of such of

I'm so very grateful to everyone for all the help you have given me, you're absolutely brilliant and I have now completed this will thank goodness. My research lately has brought up a number of wills through the generations but this 17th century example was the hardest to make out. Of course I have noticed that it's a lot to do with the actual writing, some are much clearer than others. It's all fascinating stuff!
Thanks again
