3. Concerning our son, Doctor and Senator Peter Hinrich Behrmann, we both bequeath to him, and if God should decide that he should die before us, then instead to our grandson Peter Ludewig Tobias Behrmann, immediately after my (Martin Peter Behrmann's) death, my gold-edged agate signet ring, my empty writing chest, the portraits of my late parents, and two large, white glass bottles which should be familiar to our son.

"late parents"
correct - it means the german word "selig" and was used in old times if someone was passed away.
"selig im Herrn verschieden" - means something like > passed away blessed by the savior.
