You have to read it in the context in which it was written. Considering it was a last will and testament
it is giving and bequeathing all and singularly his personal belongings.
Was he a farmer/landowner by any chance?
I do also give, devise and bequeath all and singular
my goods, wares and household furniture, stuff, corne,
plate, ready money, Leases, Chattels, Implements and all
other things alive or dead, as well moveable as immoveable,
The reference to 'corne' nowadays spelt as 'corn'. Hence Why I asked
if he was a farmer! ! !
