I will free you from your executorship, and all your cares.

Take notice, Belford, that I do hereby actually discharge you, and every

body, from all cares and troubles relating to her. And as to her last

testament, I will execute it myself.

There were no articles between us, no settlements; and she is mine, as

you see I have proved to a demonstration; nor could she dispose of

herself but as I pleased.--D----n----n seize me then if I make not good

my right against all opposers!

Her bowels, if her friends are very solicitous about them, and very

humble and sorrowful, (and none have they of their own,) shall be sent

down to them--to be laid with her ancestors--unless she has ordered

otherwise. For, except that, she shall not be committed to the unworthy

earth so long as she can be kept out of it, her will shall be performed

in every thing.
