  === Will ===
  My latin is a little weak, but from his will we learn, that he wished to be buried at Wyslescombe. Accordingly he left money to the cathedar and to the vicor of Wyslescomber. Also made giftgs to the rectory of Pullesden, Abbey of Forde and Canlile. Surely these were given for the benefit of his soul. If he was a Jew, it is clear his faith was christian. Indeed, no non-christian would have been accepted for christian burial.
  
  He then made a number of charitable gifts to a hospital and others.
  
  Brother William Jewe clothing.
  JohannI (John) my son other goods.
  Johi (John?) my son other goods.
  William my son the same things.
  Thomas my son (the same thing, my guess is a silver cup.
  Johanne (Joan or Johanna) a silver cup.
  Elizabeth a silver cup.
