The LAST WILL and TESTAMENT of Dr. ROWLAND TAYLOR, Vicar of HADLEY, in SUFFOLK.
I Say to my wife, and to my children; The Lord gave you unto me, and the Lord hath taken me from you, and you from me: blessed be the name of the Lord. I believe they are blessed who die in the Lord. God careth for sparrows, and for the hairs of our heads. I have ever found him more faithful and favourable, than is any father or husband. Trust ye therefore in him by the means of our dear Saviour Christ's merits: believe, love, fear, and obey him: pray to him, for he hath promised to help. Count me not dead, for I shall certainly live, and never die. I go before, and you follow after, to our long home. I go to the rest of my children, Susan, George, Ellen, Robert, and Zechariah: I have bequeathed you to the only Omnipotent.
