Sivu 118 - And for myself, besides my yearly allowance, I would have twenty gowns of apparel, six of them excellent good ones, eight of them for the country, and six other of them very excellent good ones.
Sivu 276 - I leave my silver tankard to the eldest son of old John, as the representative of the family.
