COMPLETE Help requested for another early Bridlington will

[en2gen]

I have tried to translate some of this and did pretty well on the first page, but lost it on the second. Here's what I have thus far:

Will of William Merry of Bridlington, 1606

In the name of God Amen the ______ day of November near of the Lord 1606 William Merrie of Bridlington ____ _____County of York ___________________
My last will and testament in the manner and form following / First I bequeath my soule into the hands of Almighty God my maker and my body to be buried in the parish church of Bridlington ________________and ____________________
I give and bequeath to my wife Elizabeth Merrie one ______ and forty _______
And bequeath to my three daughters _____Merrie Ellen Merrie and Katherine Merrie___________________________

2nd page talks about funeral expenses and maybe Ann Merrie daughter of Richard Merrie??? Also other names and perhaps a section in Latin at the end. But I got very confused about what was being said.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you so much Horsleydown86 for your transcription help! I saw some of these words but just couldn't put them all together. So for anyone else taking a look, I think this is what we have thus far:

Brilliant folks!! So many thanks to both of you for all your time and effort. This will has really answered some questions for me on how a couple of families tie together.

May I ask about the "funeral portions" being designated in the wills for the children. What were those? Would they be monies set aside to pay for the funerals of each of those receiving them or just what?

I am acquiring quite a few of these early wills in an effort to sort out my family ties and I am getting better at reading the script than I was, but it takes me so long to get so little! I so appreciate your help. Many thanks!

May I ask about the "funeral portions" being designated in the wills for the children. What were those? Would they be monies set aside to pay for the funerals of each of those receiving them or just what?

This is the first time I have encountered this term too.

However, I doubt it is for the childrens' own funerals.  (Thirty pounds would buy a very lavish funeral.)

I suspect it's a local term for the customary portion of a deceased person's estate (similar to the third portion due to the wife) which was due, in this case, to the children.
