Wesley Corpus

I give the books, furniture, and whatever else belongs to me in the three houses at Kingswood, in trust, to Thomas Coke, Alexander Mather, and Henry Moore, to be still employed in teaching and maintaining the children of poor Travelling Preachers. I give to Thomas Coke, Doctor John Whitehead, and Henry Moore, all the books which are in my study and bed chamber at London, and in my studies elsewhere, in trust, for the use of the Preachers who shall labour there from time to time. I give the coins, and whatever else is found in the drawer of my bureau at London, to my dear grand-daughters, Mary and Jane Smith. I give all my manuscripts to Thomas Coke, Doctor White head, and Henry Moore, to be burned or published as they see good. o: & o MR. WESLEY'S LAN'l WILL AND TESTAMENT. 501 I give whatever money remains in my bureau and pockets, at my decease, to be equally divided between Thomas Briscoe, William Collins, John Easton, and Isaac Brown. I desire my gowns, cassocks, sashes, and bands, may remain in the chapel for the use of the Clergymen attending there. I desire the London Assistant, for the time being, to divide the rest of my wearing apparel between those four of the Travelling Preachers that want it most; only my pelisse I give to the Rev. Mr. Creighton; my watch to my friend Joseph Bradford; my gold seal to Elizabeth Ritchie. I give my chaise and horses to James Ward and Charles Wheeler, in trust, to be sold, and the money to be divided, one half to Hannah Abbott, and the other to the members of the select society. Out of the first money which arises from the sale of books, I bequeath to my dear sister, Martha Hall, (if alive,) forty pounds; to Mr. Creighton aforesaid, forty pounds; and to the Rev. Mr. Heath, sixty pounds.
