I have copied the following will from Ancestral Jigsaws - many thanks to tillymint.
In the name of God Amen, I George Estmond of the parish of Westham in Sussex, gent, being somewhat infirm of body but of a sound disposing mind and memory for this the Lord be praised do make my last Will and Testament in manner and form following Imprimis: I bequeath my soul to God hoping to be saved through the only merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As for my body I commit that to the earth to be buried where it shall please my Executrix. Item: I give and bequeath unto eight poor people of the parish where I shall be buried such as my Executrix shall think fit the sum of forty shillings to be distributed amongst them.
