Problems with 1633 Wiltshire Will
« on: Monday 27 March 23 16:46 BST (UK) »
I am hoping someone can help me with this will. Here is what I think it says but there are some gaps:

Broadtowne in the pish of Cleve pipard in the Countie
of Wilts Widow being thankes be given to god whole
in mind and pfect Remembrance do []

and forme following first I give and bequeath my soule
to allmitie god in Sure and constant [] to be []
through the merrits and [] of our lord and Saviour
Jesus crist and my bodie to be buried in the church
yeard of Cleeve pipard
Item I give and bequeath to Richard Spackman the Elder

… amen that I John Spackman of …

… good and p(er)fett Remembrance doe here sett
and ordaine …


… in sure and constant hop to be saved
through the merrits and passior of our lord and saviour …


… fower Cheses ?

… the best brase poot

Notes
hop = hope
passior – error for passion ? (usual wording is ‘merits and passion’)
brase poot – brass pott ?
The parish, presumably Clyffe Pypard, is here written Cleve piper
The p in pish has a horizontal stroke through it, indicating p(ar)ish
