Thankyou Ermy, that completed the main part.

And I can now see another bit;

and to brynge my body lawfely to the ground & to be sup-
visor of this Ralfe AVELEN & he to have for his pains
a lambe thers men being wytnes ?..? ?Jo....? ?....? ?....?
?....? Edward KELLFULL ?Harry? James ?....?
Item I do ?....? & ?....? ?to? my sone Ralf all ?....?
somes of money as the sone Ralfe ought ?....? ?quite? him
from my executor

Just 5 lines to go & I will have the whole Will done. So close.

Grantley
