Of the State and Condition of the Soul and Body after Death, Το To these I shall add the Catalogue of the Manuscripts, which he left to the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-Inn, with that part of his Will that concerns them. ITEM, As a testimony of my honour and respect to the Society of Lincoln's-Inn, where I had the greatest part of my education, I give and bequeath to that honourable society the several manuscript books, contained in a schedule annexed to my will: they are a treasure worth having and keeping, which I have been near forty years in gathering, with very great industry and expence. My desire is, that they be kept safe, and all together, in remembrance of me: They were fit to be bound in leather and chained, and kept in archives: I desire they may not be lent out, or disposed of: only if I happen hereafter to have any of my posterity of that Society, that desires to transcribe any book, and give very good caution to restore it again in a prefixed time, such as the Benchers of that Society in council shall approve of; then, and not otherwise, only one book at one time may be lent out to them by the society; so that there be no more but one book of those books abroad out of the library at one time. They are a treasure that are not fit for every man's view; nor is every man capable of making use of them: Only I would have nothing of these books printed, but intirely preserved together, for the use of the industrious learned members of that Society.
