_How Doctor Faustus made his Will, in the which he named his servant
Wagner to be his heir_
Doctor Faustus was now in his twenty-fourth and last year, and he
had a pretty stripling to his servant, the which had studied also at
the University of Wittenberg: this youth was very well acquainted
with his knaveries and sorceries, so that he was hated as well for
his own knaveries, as also for his Master’s: for no man would give
him entertainment into his service, because of his unhappiness, but
Faustus: this Wagner was so well beloved with Faustus, that he used
him as his son: for do what he would his master was always therewith
well content. And when the time drew nigh that Faustus should end, he
called unto him a Notary and certain masters the which were his friends
and often conversant with him, in whose presence he gave this Wagner
his house and Garden. Item, he gave him in ready money one thousand
six hundred gilders. Item, a Farm. Item, a gold chain, much plate, and
other household stuff. This gave he all to his servant, and the rest of
his time he meant to spend in Inns and Students’ company, drinking and
eating, with other jollity: and thus he finished his Will for that time.
