The publication of the Tenth Volume of Reports was authorized by vote of the Board of Aldermen, October 2, 1882, it being understood that the collection was to consist of Miscellaneous Papers. A portion of the volume was then put in type ; but, owing to various causes, its publication has been delayed, greatly to the regret of the Commissioners, as the continuity of the volumes was thereby broken. As now completed it is believed that the volume will prove of as great value as its associates, and especially that the reprints of the early Directories will assist those whose main interest lies in the o-enealogical details contained in our records.

I Eobert Keayne, Cittizen and M'"chant Taylor of London by freedorae, and by the good Providence of God now dwelling at Boston in New England in Amireca being at this time through the great goodnes of my' God, both in health of body, & of able and sufficient memory, yet considering that all flesh is as grasse, that must wither and will returne to the dust, and that my life may be taken away in a moment, therefore that I may be in the better readinesse (and freed from the distracting cares of the disposing of my out- ward estate, w<='i coiuonly followes the deferring of it, while the time of sick- nes or day of Death, when the minde should be taken up with more serious and waighty consideracons) I doe therefore now in my health make ordaine & declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and to stand and to be as ef- fectuall as if I had made it in my sicknes, or in the day or houre of my death, which is in manner and forme following First and before all things, I coinend & comit my pretious soule into the hands of Almightie God (who not onely as a Loveing Creator hath [117.] given it unto me when he might have made me a bruite beast, but also as a most Loveing father & mercifuU Savio"", hath Redeemed it with the pretious blood of his owne deare Sonne and my Sweete Jesus ; from that gulfe of mis- sery and ruine that I by Originall Sinne and actuall transgressions had plunged it into) Therefor renowncing all manner of knowne errors, all Po- pish & Prelaticall superstitions, all Anabaptisticall inthusiasmes and Famil- isticall delusions, with all other fayned devises, and all Old and New upstart opinions, unsound and blasphemous errors, and other high imaginations, that exalt themselves against the bono'' and truth of God, in the way of his worsh, and ordinances and against the dignitie and cepter of the Lord Jesus Christ my Savio''. I doe further desire from my heart to renownce all confidence or expectation of merritt or desert in any of the best duties or services that ever I have shall or can be able to pforme acknowledging that all my right- eousnes sanctificon and close walking with God if it were or had bin a thou- sand times more exact then ever yet I attayned too, is all polluted and cor- rupt and falls short of comending me to God in point of my justification, or helping forward my redemption or salvation, and deserve nothing at Gods hand, but Hell and Condemnation, if he should enter into judgement with me for them, and though [118.] I beleive that all my wayes of holynesse are of noe use to me in poynt of justification, yet I beleive they may not be neglected by me without great Sinne, bu^ are ordakied of God for me to walke in them carefully in love to him in obedience to his Couiandements, as well as for many other good ends and are good fruites & evidences of justifi- cation, therefore renowncing though not the Acts yet all confidence in those Acts of holynesse and workes of Sanctification performed by me, I looke for my acceptance with God and the Salvation of my Soule only from the merritts or righteousnes of the Lord Jesus Christ, and from the free bountifuU and undeserved grace and love of God in him, and though this faith in me in re- spect of applycation for my owne comfort is very weake and feeble, yet I looke up to my God in Jesus Christ to strengthen it, and though the sinfull faylings & weaknesses of my owne life have beene great & many, and that 2 City Document No. 150. neither my selfe nor family in respect of close walking with him hath beene so with God as it ought to be, for which I have and shall still desire and indeavo'" to judge and condemne my selfe in his sight, and not to allow my selfe in any wayes of evill knowingly, yet I looke up to his throne of Grace and Mercy in the blood of Jesus Christ with some hope & confidence that he will both pardon & subdue them, in wMch faith alone I desire both to live and dye and to continue therein to my lives ende, which faith in the Lord Jesus Christ hath beene most plainely & sweetly taught in these Churches of New England, in which place though I met with many and deepe [lli>.] sorrowes, and variety of exercises of Sperit and hard measures oifered to me, yet with unrepentant thoughts I desire to acknowledge it, for a great blessing & undeserved favor of God, that he hath brought me hither to enjoye his p''sence in the beauties of holines and to see his walkings in his holy Sanctu- ary and though there may be faylings both in our Civill Government & Churches, for all men have there weaknesses & the best societyes of men have their imperfections, so that still there will be some things to be amended and reformed as God shalbe pleased to discover new light, and meanes to doe it, yet I doe unfaynedly aprove of the way of ttie Churches of Jesus Christ, and the Civil Government that God hath here set up amongst us, and rejoyee therein, as a way that both I pray for and doubt not but God will blesse, and according to that light that I have received or that which I ever read or heard of, it is one of the best and hapiest governments that is this day in the world. This being p'"missed in respect of my soule & my faith in Jesus Christ, I doe next coihitt my body to the earth (& to comely & decent burriall) there to rest till my loveing Savio'" by his Almighty power shall raise it up againe, at which time I confidently beleive it shalbe reunited to my owne soule, and there shall receive according to the woi'ks that I have done in this life accord- ing as tliey have beene good or evill in the sight of God, or according to that faith and confidence that I have in tlie free grace and merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. As for my Buriall I shall not desire any great outward solem- nitie to be used further [120.] then that which shalbe decent & civill as be- comes Christians knowing that extraordinary solemnities can nothing add to the peace or benefit of the deceased-, yet haveing beene trayned up in Millitary Discipline from my young"" yeares, & haveing endeavoured to promote it the best I could since God hath brought me into this country & seeing he hath beene pleased to use me as a poore instrument to lay y'' foundation of that Noble Society of the Artillery Company in tliis place, that hath so farr prospered by the blessing of God as to helpe many with good experience in the. use of theire Armes & more exact knowledge in the Millitaiy Art & hath beene a nursery to raise up many able and well experienced souldiers that hath done since good service for their country, therefore to declare my affections to that exercise & the society of souldiers, I shall desire to be buryed as a souldier in a Millitary way, if the time & place of my death and other occasions may suite thereunto which I leave to the discretion of my executors and friends As for the goods of this life which the Lord of his aboundant mercy, his rich & undeserved favo"" hath bestowed & reserved to me the greatest of sin- ners and the unworthycst of all his servants I dispose of in manner following Impr"=s my will is. That all such debts as I doe or shall justly owe to any person or persons at the time of my death shalbe truely and carefully payd by my executors within as short time after my decease as conveniently may be, which debts of myne at this [131.] time doth amount to about One hundred and fivety pounds besides what I owe unto the poore boxe, the par- ticulars of w<='" & the persons to lyhom I am indebted, my executors & over- seers may find in a long paper booke in my closet at Boston with a white Parchment Cover, initelled my Inventory booke in which the particulars of my whole estate from yeare to yeare, with all that I owe and all debts that are owing to me is breifly set downe under my owne hand which wilbe a direction to them in all my affaires, which debts of rayne if God be pleased to spare me health while the next Spring I hope I shall pay tlie most of them my selfe except that only which I owe to the poore boxe being about Eighty pounds, and for the better effecting & accomplishing of this my last will & Testament, my will & desire is that p''sently after my death or buriall at furthest, there may be a true Inventory taken of all my lands houses cattle Will of Robert Keatne, 1653. 3 moveable goods, bookes, housliould stuflPe of all sorts, of all my wares, mar- chandize, ready money, plate, ringes, Jewells, bever, wearing apparrell, tooles or any such like, of all the Corne I have at home or at my farrae with all things there, of all tlie debts that are owing to me, especially those that I account good, and which they be you may see not only in my severall debt bookes but the abridgement of them all (except housing, houshould stuffe & moveables, plate, tooles &•=) in that Inventory Booke before mentioned, and that all these things may be equally valued & prized by snch indifferent and just men that have good skill & experience in the severall kinds of goods that are to be valued, and if more convenient that an oatli may be given to them to value & prize them [122.] according to the coiuon worth & value that such goods and lands shall beare at that time in this country as neare as there best judgment & skill therein shall lead them too. That as my exec- utors may have no wrong so neither would I have my legacies & giftes swallowed up, with an apprehention or report that I have given away more then my estate will beare, and that I have made a great show of charitie, and have nothing or not enough to perform it with, which Inventory of my estate being so taken & all things valued equally & without partiallity & not at halfe what they are duely Avorth as is the use of many, then to deduct so much out of the some totall as my ffunnerall charges & my debts that I shall owe at that time may come too, which my booke initelled Creditor & Debitor in my closet at Boston, and other debt bookes & bookes of account will clearely discover, especially that Inventory booke first mentioned, which some being set by in the account for discharge of my debts, the residue & remainer of my estate I dispose of as followeth Impr^ the thirds of all my lands & housing both at Boston & at my ffarme at Rumne Marsh or any where else that I shalbe possessed of at the time of my death I give and bequeath unto my deare & loveing wife M™ Anne Keayne to hould & enjoye with all the profitts of them or that shall arise from them during hir naturall life according to the last law of our Gennerall Court made concerning widowes doueries which I beleive wilbe a large and comfortabe maintenance for hir. a greate if not the greatest part of my estate lying in my housing & lands (or else I would make such an addition to it as might make hir life in respect of outward things both peaceable & comfortable) there being noe ingagements or incombrances yet upon any part of [123.] my lands yet I shall not forget some other pledges of my love to hir These thirds for my wife being p'messed & my ffunnerall charges & debts being provided for as I have be forementioned The rest of my whole estate both personnall & reall with my lands housing & all other things belonging to my estate I devide into two parts, the one part whereof I give and be- queath unto my welbeloved & only son Benjamin Keayne, the other part of my estate, I meane the just or due value of it I reserve as my owne right to dispose of as I please which is as herein shall after be expressed. And because I am not ignorant that formerly there hath beene many clay- mors & evill reports raised up against me here & elsewhere as if I had gott my estate by unjust dealing and "Hironging of others. That all might take not- tice that I durst not allow my selfe in any such knowne wickednes as hath beene flsely reported against me, I did in some of my former Wills and also in my last before this of anno 16-19 (which I still keepe by me though can- celled & made null by this and wilbe needfull to be preserved and of use to be viewed & read over by my executors and overseers if need be about siv- erall things mentioned therein which I leave out in this & may be of some helpe to them in some matters of concernment as things may fall out) set apart two hundred pounds out of my owne estate, that if any man or woman (not knowing but that I might have dyed long before this time) young or old in Old England or New, could justly chalenge or make it appeare by good proofe or reason that I had in anything unjustly wronged or defrauded them, that they might have had full satisfaction allowed them though I know of no such things that can justly be layd to my charge, nor any pretence or show of it, but if I were [124.] alive to answere for myselfe I should easily cleare & remove, but haveing now lived in New England this 17 or 18 yeares where there is an open passage in church and comon wealth where any that are unjustly wronged may easily right themselves, if I should obstinately re- fuse to doe them right, and none such haveing appeared in so many yeares I 4 City Document No. 150. thinke it needles to continue any longer what I formerly sequestered out of my estate for such ends, and if any should come with such p'tences after I am dead, the falsenes of them may the more justly be suspected in that they came not while I was alive, I speake of debts & unjust frauds not of humaine infirmities & faylings, which may be comon to my selfe as to other men. I haveing long thought & considered of the want of some necessary things of publike concernment which may not be only comodious but very profitable & usefuU for the Towne of Boston, as a Market place & Cundit, the one a good helpe in danger of fyre, the want of which wee have found by sad & costly experience not only in other parts of the towne where possibly they have better supply for water but in the heart of the towne about the market place, the other useful! for the country people that come with theire pro- visions for the supply of the towne, that they may have a place to sitt dry in and warme both in cold raine & durty weather & may have a place to leave theire corne or any other things safe that they cannot sell, till they come againe, which would be both an incouragement to the country to come in & a great meanes to increase trading in the [125.] Towne also, to have some convenient roome or too for the Courts to meete in both in Winter & Sumer & so for the Townes men & Comissio" of the Towne, also in the same building or the like there may be a convenient roome for a Library & a gallery or some other handsome roome for the Elders to meete in & conferr together when they have occasion to come to the towne for any such ende, as I perceive they have many, Then in the same building there may be also a roome for an Armory to keepe the Armes of the Artillery Company & for the Souldiers to meete in when they have occasion, Now if it should not be thought convenient by the Elders & Deacons or guids of the towne that all these conveniencyes should be under one roofe or in one place of the towne or that there be some places already built that may conveniently be used or fitted up with sniale cost for some of these purposes, as in the Meeting House for a Granere or Armory & other places in it for the Magistrates & Comissio™ to meete in as they doe sometimes, it is true in the sumer they may, in the Winter they cannot for want of chimneyes & fyres, but it would be necessary & more convenient (And the Towne hath beene often speaking about it, to have such a building for such uses though yet it hath not beene accomplished) if there were a place fitted on purpose & set apart for such publike uses, and if advice were taken with some skilfuU & ingenious workmen & some others that have good heads in contriving of buildings such as Mr. Broughton, Mr. Clarke, the Chirirgion &c. there might such a model be drawne up that one fabricke or building may [126.] be easily contrived that would conveniently accomodate all these uses, without extraordinary cost & yet may be so done as would be a great ornament to the towne as well as usefull & profitable otherwayes but if the cheife of the towne should be of anoth'' minde, then I should propose this, that the cundit & Markett House be sett in the market place somewhere betweene IM'' Cogins house & mine or any where in that great streete betweene M"". Parkers House &M''. Brentons or rather M"". Webb's if it should be judged there to be more convenient, these two may handsomely be , contrived in one building in w<='' possibly may be some other convenient roomes fitt for some of the uses before mentioned besides & for those which that place cannot supply, as for a Library & for a Gallere or Long Roome for the Devines & Scliollers to meete & conferr togeather upon any occasion it may be contrived to be sett all along on the foreside of the Meeting house joyning to it on the one side and the other side to be supported with pillars so the roomes about may be for Court meetings at the one side & the Elders at the other & the open roome betweene the pillars may serve for Merchants, M'' of Shipps and strangers as well as the towne (being either paled or horded on the ground) tO meete in at all times to conferr about there busines & occasions w<='^ I conceive would be very advantagius to the towne & may be so contrived & sett forth y' will be no disgrace or incumbrance to the meeting house but a great ornament to it, but if it should be thought not convenient to have it in the front of the Meeting [127.] House, it may accomplish the same ends, if placed on that side of the Meeting House from Seargeant Williams shop to Deacon Trusdalls house, or if a building placed in one of these two places may accomplish all the ends before menconed save only the Cunditt then a large Cundit may be sett up alone, about the place where the Biliary stands Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 5 & the other about the meeting house as before w<='i I leave to the best con- trivement of the towne & the Elders & Deacons w='i building or buildings if the towne shall thinke meete to goe about it & improve them for the severall uses before mentioned, only the Granere may be in any other place of the towne as shalbe thought convenient, I stand not upon that though my owne judgement leads me to thinke that some places or place about the Comon Market or near to it wilbe most suitable for many reasons. I say towards the building of these convenient places. Item I give and bequeath three hundreth pounds in good merchantable pay the one third part thereof when the frame is brought to the place & raysed or some part of it before when the frame is in some forwardness if neede be, the seconde part when the chimneyes are built, the house covered and closed in round and all the floores layd, and the last third part when it is quite finished, provided that it be gone about and finished within two or three yeares at the most after my decease, and if any of these either a Cundet or Markett House should be sett up before my death, by the towne or any other in the place or places above mentioned, then my gift shall remaine good either for some addition to the same worke or for the accomplishing of those other workes by me mentioned that are not done by others, with a re- bating proportionable to what [128.] is or shalbe before done by the towne or any other Pson, Now that these things may not be only for a show or a name & when finished prove as shaddowes & stand as emptie roomes without substance that they may be improved for the uses that I ayme at & intend though my estate is not such as whereby I am able to doe what I desire & would be willing to doe if I had it, for such publike benefitt, yet for examples sake & encouragement of others (especially of our owne towne w'^^ will have the benefitt of it) & such in the towne that have publike spirits & some comfortable estates to helpe on such workes I shalbe willing to cast in my mite & bring my lime & hare possibly God may stirr up the hearts of others to bring in their Badger skines & silke & others more costly things that the worke may goe on & prosper in so smale a beginning Therefore to the Granere I give and bequeath One hundred pounds to be payd in Corne and that to be improved for a publike stocke to such uses & ends as I shall hereafter mention Next the Library & Gallere for Devines & Schollers to meete in being finished I give and bequeath to the beginning of that Library my 3 great writing bookes w^ii are intended as an Exposition or Interpretation of the whole Bible, as also a 4th great writing booke in which is an exposition on the Prophecy of Daniel of the Kevelations & the Prophecy of Hosea not long since began, all which Bookes are written with my owne hand so farr as they be writt & could desier that some able scholler or two that is active and dilli- gent & addicted to reading and writing were ordered to carry on the same worke by degrees as they have leasure and opportunitie & in the same methode and way as I have begun (if a better be not advised to) at least if [129.] it shalbe esteemed for the profitt of it to young students (though not so to more able and learned Devines in these knowing times) worth the labo"" as I have & doe finde it to my selfe worth all the paines & labour I have bestowed upon them, so that if I had 100'^ layd me downe for them, to deprive me of them, till my sight or life should be taken from me I should not part from them Further my will is that my son Benjamine Keayne my Executor haveing first made choyce out of my study of such Bookes as he shall desier & thinke needfuU for his owne use and reading (not to sell) whether Divinitie, Hystory or Milletary or any of my written Sermon bookes excepting those fower before given to the Library & and my wife also some few for her use if she shall desier any other then those she hath already of hir owne, these pi'missed my will is that my brother Wilson & M"". Norton with my Executor & Overseers or the most of them may view over the rest of my bookes and to choose from amongst them such of my Divinitie bookes and Comentaries, and of my written sermon bookes or any others of them as they shall thinke profitable & usefuU for such a Library (not simply for show but properly for use) they being all English none Lattine or Greeke, then the rest which re- maines may be sould for there due worth both the written and printed ones, 6 City Document No. 150. and though my bookes be not many, nor very fitt for such a worke being English & smale bookes, yet after this beginning the Lord may stirr up some others that will add more to them & helpe to carry the worke on by bookes of more valew, antiquity use and esteeme & that an Inventory may be taken & kept of those bookes [130.] that they set apart for the Library And because I perceive that the Elders of the neigbo''ing townes have ap- pointed certaine times in y'' yeare as cheifly in Sumer time once a moneth to meete together to confirr about ordering things in the Churches according to God & to debate about doubts or difBcult questions that may arise, in matters of religion and such like and that they have noe place to meete in, but at one of our Elders houses nor nothing to refresh themselves with but ofthemw'='i may prove too great a burthen to our Elders (the meetings being so often and con- tinueing constant) to beare of theire owne charge besides other burthens & in- conveniences they may undergoe Therefore the roome before mentioned be- ing fitted y' they may meete when they please thereat I doe will and bequeath fower pounds a yeare to be payd out of some of my shops in Boston by quarterly payments w<='^ may be ordered and disposed as the Eld''^ shall direct or advise to provide some refreshing for them when they meete or now and then dinn" as farr as it will goe & as themselves shalbe pleased to husband it, not that I would put upon ray Executor the care of such provisions or of buying or dressing the raeate, but that he should appointe w<=ii shop should pay them so much & then they may appointe a steward of theire owne to receive the pay every quarter & then they to direct how it shalbe layd out or dis- posed of for that ende to there owne content, only I would p''misse this if there meeting be only in the Sumer & not in the Winter as I conceive then my will is that they should receive this fower [131.] pounds every Sumer, by forty shillings a quarter as that whicli wilbe most convenient for there meet- ing, and this gift of fower pounds p anno I give for the space of Ten yeares from the time of my death, if that meeting continue so long in that towne, hoping that before then some other may be moved to step in & to add so much more to it as may serv(; to provide a moderate dinner for every time of there meeting so that noe part of the charge of it may lye upon themselves and when the 10 yeares is ended I doubt not if my son be then liveing here (& my buildings continue as now, that he would continue this gift of myne longer if that meeting continue longer & proves by experience to be much for the good and advantage of religion & the.churches as is intended & not to the hurt & p'judice of the same And if a convenient fayre roome in one of the buildings before mentioned be sequestered & set a part for an Armory & the meeting of the Artillery if there it be thought convenient or if some other place be provided for that use more convenient, with the Officers of that Companys advice, I am not strict for the very place so they have content in it, though yet I thinke the very hart & securest part of the towne (& noe out or by place) is the most fitt for a Magazene for Armes because of the danger of surprizing of them, the place that they now use wilbe fitt, to scower & tend the Armes in & tlie other to lay them up & keepe them in, which wilbe a comely sight for straiEi:2:ers to see & a great ornament to the roome & also to the towne where [132.] the soul- diers may arme themselves every time they goe to exercise, such a place be- ing provided I give & bequeath five pounds for the incouragem' of that Com- pany to be layd out in Pikes & Bandal" for the use of such souldiers of that Company that live in other townes, so farr as it cannot be convenient for them to bring there armes w'^^ them, or if the Officers of that Company doe know any other thinge that the Company wants that wilbe more usefull for the gen- nerall good of the Company then what I have mentioned that will continue & not be spent or consumed in the use, then I am willing that the whole or any part of this legacy may be so disposed of takeing in the advice and consent of my Executor in the same. Item I give & bequeath further to this Artillery Company of Boston five pounds more towards the erecting of a platforme planeked underneath for two mounted peeces of Ordinance to stand upon, a greater & a smaller, with a shead of boards raysed over it, to keepe them dry & p'"serve them from sunne and weather & this to be raised in the most convenient p' in the Trayn- ing place in Boston where it shalbe most fitt for that use & where at a con- venient distance against some hill or riseing ground there may be a good Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 7 Butt or kinde of Bullwarke raised of earth that may receive the [133.] shott of these peeces & may be free from endangering any that may unex- pectedly passe by or be behinde the butt in case they should overshoote, ■w'='^ Butt may be cast up or digged at the bottome of a hill witliout any charge by the Company themselves, in two or three of theire Trayning dayes and my ende in this is that the Company may be trayned up (or so many of them aa desier it) in the use exercise & experience of the great Ordinance as they are in theire musketts that they may learne how to traverse, lode, mount, levell & fyre at a marke &<=] W^ is as needfull a skill for a souldier as the exercise of theire ordinary Armes, I suppose the Countrey will willingly lend the Company two such peeces for so good a use as this is, if tlie towne itselfe hath none such to spare & will give them a barrell of powder or two to incourage them, to begin a service that wilbe so singularly usefull for the country, the bullets wilbe most of them found & saved againe if the hill or butt against wc^ they shoote be not so low & narrow that they overmount & shoote aside at randome, now as many of that company or others w'^'' desire to learne that art of gunnere (soe needfull for every Captaine & officer of a Company) to be experienced in) they may enter there names to be schollers of the great Artillery & to agree that every one that enters his name may give so much for entery & so much a yeare afterwards as you doe at the Artillery ■which money will serve to lay in provision of [134.] powder, shott, springes, Budg Barrels Cannon Baskets & & some allowance to the M''. Gunner that shall take paines to instruct them, if there cannot be some skillfull & sufficient man found, that will thinke the honno'' of the place to instruct such a society in so noble a service recompence sufficient that they have an opportunite not only to exercise there owne skill but to doe good to the countrey & to willing schollers that so thirst after experience as wee see the Capt & rest of the officers of y<^ smale Artillery doe freely expend there time to instruct others in the best skill themselves have attayned, and looke at it as reward enough that theire paines is accepted & the Company edifyed by it, besides there being many ship M""^. & Gunners that resort to this Country who have good skill in this art, the Company 1 doubt not upon there request might have there helpe sometimes & direction herein & he that is chosen to this place may have the title of y*^ Cap' of the great Artillery or M"". Gunner & there may be a time appointed once in a weeke or fortnight for the schollers to meete & to spend two or three houres, either forenoone or afternoone for there instruction in it, Now all that meete cannot expect to make every one a shott for that would prove to great a charge & expence of powder but every one must take there turne & two or three at a meeting to make one shott a peece or but one man two shotts at one time & the rest may observe as much by the inanner of there pforming it as if they had done it themselves, and for further incour- agem' to helpe [135.] on this exercise besides the five pounds given before towards the Platforme & the other five pounds for Pykes &<=. I give & bequeath Two Heifers or Cowes to the Capt & Officers of the first Artillery Company to be kept as a stocke constantly & the increase or profitt of these Cowes yearely to be layd out in powder or bulletts &=. for the use of the exercise of the greate Artillery, only the stocke at no time or the valew of it not to be deminished & these to be delivered to the Capt that shall have the comand of that Company or whome himselfe and Officers shall appointe when the Platforme & Butt is finished, and two peeces mounted thereon, ■with all matterialls thereto belonging fitt to exercise with, when a M''. or Cap' of the greate Ordinance is chosen, a convenient company of souldiers entered for schoUf^ as betweene ten and twenty & all things settled in a good posture for the beginning & continuance of that exercise, but if the Artillery Company shall neglect to accomplish this before expressed above two yeares after my decease then these three legacyes viz' both the five pounds & the two Cowes to be voyd & to be to the use of my executor, but if the tilings before mentioned be accomplished & this new company doe goe on as I de- sire it may then my will is that the Capt with the consent of the Company may appointe some able man either of the Company or otherwise that shall give bond to my executors or overseers for these two Cowes or the valew of them at the time of delivery that the stocke shalbe [13G.] preserved & the increase or benefitt of them only to be disposed of for the use of this new Company & if this Company should breake off & not continue there exercise 8 City Document No. 150. then the two Cowes to be returned to my executor or some of my Overseers for his use or the just value that they were worth at the time of there first delivery, now any man that shall have the Cowes to keepe wilbe willing to give such a bond if the Company order it so, in case that exercise should fall to the ground, for the two first five pounds I desire no bond nor any returne of it though the Company should not continue very long I would make it my dying request to our first Artillery Company (if there shalbe such a Company in being when it shall please God to take me out of this misserable world) many knowes what my earnest endeavo"^^ & desires hath beene to promote & incourage what I could since the Lord hath brought me into this Countrey & my desires have not beene altogeather frustrated for out of this smale Com- pany the Lord hath raysed up many a well experienced souldier that hath done good service and have beene of good esteeme both here & in our native Country & therefore my greife is the more to see this sometime flourishing & highly prized Company that when the Country growes more populus this Company should grow more thin & ready to disolve for want of appearance but some are weary & theus thinke they have gott experience enough so the most begins to neglect but my request is [137.] that the entries, quartridge & fynes for late & non appearance (w^h last hath beene too long neglected) & will not be well with y® Company till it be taken up againe especially see- ing the greatest pt of that Company consists now of men in our owne towne & wee never had better nor more constant appearance then when fynes were duely taken] may be p''served & kept in stocke to lay out in powder, Armes, Bandaleers for the use of the Company & in Canvas to make resemblance of Trenches, half moones, redowts, fforts &c. Cannon Basketts & such like nec- essary implem'^ for some speciall millitary service y' might be pformed once or twice a year, w'^'^ would be a singuler helpe to the ordinary exercise & would add much not only to the incouragem' but to the experience both of ofiicers & Souldiers in some millitary exercises W^'^ without such helpes as these cannot be taught nor pformed, and these moneyes would be farr better imployed & to the greater satisfaction & content of the Company in such things then to be wasted & spent in eating & drinkeing & needles invita- tions as it hath beene long a time both to my owne & to the greife & offence of sevall of the Company which hath occasioned some to leave the Company & others to be unwilling to pay their quartridge, seeing the whole stocke is still consumed & the Company rather in debt then otherwise w'='^ hath beene a cheife thing to hinder many other profitable exercises for want of meanes to beare the chargejof them & will [138.] in time be the overthrow & dissolu- tion of the Company if it be not p''vented,w' hath made y'' Artilliry Company in London so to flourish for so long a time togeth"" but the stocke of the Com- pany well managed whereby they have done great things & have beene able to pforme many exercises (though chargeable) both for the delight of all behould™ & y*^ great benefitt & experience of the souldiers & to the increase of tliere number, and indeed I ha4in my purpose sivall other legacies to have bestowed on this Company for there incouragem* & the example of others & have them in a readines & of some consequence but the smale appearance of the Company & the declyning of it dayly w'^^ cannot be but a great dis- couragem' to the Cap' & Officers that comand them, as also to the Souldiers y' doe appeare & causes a kinde of contempt insteed of esteeme in tliose that behould them) makes me feare the fynall dissolution of it & so all giftes will sincke with it & come to nothinge hath beene the cause of altering my resolu- tion, though I know a skillfull comander though he have a body of men but 4 fyles G deepe which is but 24 souldiers, yea I would add further, if he have but halfe so many but two fyles 6 or 8 deepe, with them he may pforme such variet}"^ of exercises, not only for the postures but the severall motions dubl- ings faceings counter marshes, wheelings yea such varietie of formes of Battells & severall kinds of fyreings & charges as should be not only delight- full but very usefull & gainfuU [139.] to those that are exercrsed & not only for two or three Trayning dayes, but have matter enough to exercise them for sevall yeares w'='^ I should hardly have beleived, did not I know it to be true & have scene it with myne eyes, yet notwithstanding what comfort or credit can a Cap* have to goe into the field with 6 or 12 souldiers & under the name of an Artillery or Millitary Company, it would be my rejoyceing if there could be any meanes thought on or used to increase & incourage this Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 9 Company that is & may be so honnorably & advantagious to the whole country, that it may remaine & continue still in splendor & esteeme increasing & not declyning, but all things have there changes Now concerning the originall legacy of Three hundred pounds that I have given to the Towne of Boston for the raysing of a Cundit in the Market place & for a building to fitt for such uses as I have before mentioned, if any shall alleadge that three hundred pounds is not sufficient to accomplish it I answ"'. 1. That it may be some of these may be gone about & finished by y'= Towne before God may call me out of this world as y*^ Cundet or m^ket house &c. & then there wilbe the lesse to doe and I know that the Towne hath agitated it & seriously intended to have gone about to doe them all ex- cept only j^ library, as such things that are needfuU & will turne to the publike advantage of the Towne. 2'y. I say that I conceive if it be well managed & ordered it may doe it all or very neare it. I suppose one of the two last houses that I built hath roome enough in it to accomplish all the ends before mentioned excepting the Cundit, if it had beene first contrived & thought on for such an ende, yet that hath not cost me 400"'. not by so much as I suppose [140.] will neare build a new Condit, but Thirdly if it should fall short I doe expect & suppose that the Towne wilbe willing to add to it & make up the rest either by enlarging of the Conveniencyes or beauti- fying the structure for the better ornament of the towne & possibly some else may thinke of some other thing wantins, that may be as usefull to the genn''all good of the towne as most of these to be added to it, w""^ I have not thought upon, besides if I were about to build a thinge that I conceive would be very usefull & advantagious to me but am not comfortably able to beare the charge of it, if any freind out of love to me would lend me 300"^. some considerable time gratise it would be a great incouragement to me to goe on with the worke, but if he should offer to give me freely 300^''. towards it I should think my selfe bound to be very thankefull to him and to be willing to make up what is wanting rather then I would loose so free a kindnes by my neglecting of the worke. But possibly some wilbe ready to apprehend that I may doe this only for my owne endes & benefitt w"^'^ may make them the more backward to have it goe on especially with any of there owne Cost, for some such spiritts there be that had rather deny themselves a benefitt then that another should enjoye a greater benefitt by it, as some have said that I have beene very forward to have a Cundit in y' place because I have so many houses & buildings there about & so a Market House [141.] wilbe more the beneficiall to bring trade to my shops. I answ"' putt case that this were in all things true, it is not sine- full nor unlawfuU in Christian prudence to pvide meanes for the p'"venting of danger or procureing of any lawful! good, I doubt not but they would doe the like if it were there owne case. But 2^^'^ wliat advantage will this be to me when I am dead and gone, if others should not receive more benefitt then I by it I need not trouble my selfe with what may fall out in after times, in these respects for I shall feele no want, nor suffer any damage by such losses & a 100 things would come into consideration as needfull to p'vent or provide for as these, if men goeing out of the world should trouble them- selves with the care of such changes and things that may happen wlien they are dead S^^y If my housen only were there & no other shops but myne, there might be more ground for such an aj^prehension, but it is the heart of the towne and many fayre buildings & shops there be round about, the Market is there seated allready, the Market house is more for the conveniency of Strang''^ & there accomodation in winter and sumer in wet & dry tliere for the inhabitants of the towne & in that respect it is a w^rke of charitie and mercy and though some pticular psons that trade may have more benefitt by it then some other psons that dwell further off, yet the advantage & profitt of it will redound to the whole towne in genn''all and for my owne pticular I haveing given over trade [142. J long agoe) the nearenes of the market is more chargeable then beneficiall to me, if I looked not at a genn''all & publike good, more then my private & for the Cunditt I confesse it is very necessary & usefull in many respects, especially in danger of fyre & well it were if there were more of them in the towne then there is, but that it wilbe more beneficiall to me or that I shall have more neede of it then others who can tell, who knowes y' my house alone shalbe sett on fyre, God 10 City Document No. 150. may p'^serre myne though divers others may be consumed, as it fell out lately by sad experience, had there beene a Condit in the Market place before, then would it not have beene looked at & found to be a publike good, might not some of the houses beene saved that were consumed more worth then the charge of setting up three or fower such Conditts, nay if the fyre had gone on in its rage as it was most like (had not God in unexpected mercy p'"vented it) & ceased upon others houses as it threatened to doe, the whole towne would have had cause to thinke & to have bewailed the want of it) that such a Conditt was a publique good & the want of it a publique evill though some pticular psons might have had the benefite of it at that time more then others, and at some other times others might have had more neede & more benefitt by it then they but if my houses & shopes stoode alone or if I only should need & not others, if it were for my owne private & not for the publique good of others, I would build a Condit & a Market house too if there were neede [143.] at my owne charge without calling in the helpeof others & I thinke if my owne heart deceive me not, my ayme in all these things proposed is for the genn'all good of the towne & that if I liad noe house thereabouts but had lived in some other part of the towne, I should be as forward to promote these workes as I have beene formerly or am at this p'sent, so I should desire all my loveing brethren & neighbo'^ of the towne to interp''' & accept of what I tender to them, as a fruite of my true endeavo"^ & desire of the townes good & not at any private advantage of me or myne & as one y' have beene willing & desii-eous to helpe them forward jn my life- time rather then death. And for that legacy of one hundreth pound before mentioned for y" Grannere to begin a stocke for a publique magzine of Corne for tlie towne or cheifely the poorer soi't in it, now what private ends or advantage can any one apprehend I can have in that when I am dead & so for the library & armory & Plattforme &' Butt for the incou'agem' of the Artillery Company & or free schoole or what I had set apai't forin''ly for the trayning up of the Indians Children in learning & some English schoU''^ to learne the Indian Tongue, now if these cannot but be interp'ted for a pub- lique and genn'all good to the- towne why should any conceive otherwise of the other, for the Conditt there is none in the markett place & if such a worke be needful! in any p*. of the towne, it is 5 times more needfull there [144.] & so for the market house except there were more publique markets set. up in some othere p'^ of the towne & though God hath beene pleased in some measure to carry me on with a publique spirit to seeke the good of the towne according to that abillity which God hath beene pleased to afford unto me though I am not able to doe according lo the largenes of my desire hopeing that God will raise up some others after me, of abler estates & opener hearts & hands to add larger additions to these weake beginnings or to begin some others that may be more usefuU then these yet I must needs say I have mett with discouragem'^'' more then a few to divert my thoughts & purposes another way & to tye up both my h'^art & hands fr5 such testi- monyes of my love that I have beene willing to show, not only by these objec- tions I have n-jw answered, but by those unkinde & unneighbo'ly discourt- esees that I have more latly & formerly mett with all, in this towne when time was (w<='i I cannot easily forget though I desire to forgive & from many in the Church especially in those times of my troubles & more there spirits & dispositions would have leade them too, had not the providence of God & the tendernes & wisedorae of some others amongst us p'vented there desires & endeavo'''', whose actions & pceedings I could never take as a fruite of there love to my soule as much as a fruite of there p'judice against my person, but I desire to requite there evill with good & unkindnesse with kindnesse, there- fore for [145.] this 100"^. to be payd in Corne Cattle or a p*« in both, what my will is about the ordering of it, that it may be p^'served still for a stocke fro yeare to yeare & the increase or profitt of it only to be disposed to the uses intended, w'^'' are these that follow. The one halfe hereof viz', fivety pounds with the increase thereof I give & bequeath to the use of the free schoole at Boston to helpe on the trayning up of some poore mens children of Boston (that are most towardly & hopefall) in the knowledge of God & of learning not only in the Latine Tongue but also to write & cypher, as farr as the profitt of it will reach & according to the best ordering of it for that ende, as the Townesmen or Ffeofees of the free schoole from time to time Will of Robert Keayne, ]()53. 11 shall judge best takeing in also the advice of my execute'' or executo™ with my overseers or the most p' of them, so long as they live or as any of them remaine in the Country. The other fivety pounds with the profitt of it I give & bequeath for the use & releife of the poore members of our owne church or to any other good use that slialbe accounted as necessary or more neces- sary then this that I intend, if any such should pi'sent and that so to be im- proved in the judgem' of all the Elders & Deacons of this our church from time to time, with the consent of my executo"' & overseers as before, Now if that scoole should be sufiiciently provided for before I dye, then I would propound it to be kept as a Magazine of store from yeare to yeare & as a stocke for the towne, & as a stocke for the towne if either a [146.] famine or warre should happen amongst us, which may tend much for the p''serva- tion of the towne especially for the poorer sort 400 bushells of Indian may be bought for SO'^. & 250 Bushells of Eye if not 300 for 501^. & so pease & how easy a thing would it be for the towne to to make it up a 1000 bushells or more by every family putting in but a pecke of corne or such a matter but once in a yeare or but once in all to raise a first stocke, to sell it away once in two yeares or longer if it will keepe, when it beares the best price & lay it in againe when it may be cheapest bought, which will beare the charge of wast & lookeing to with considerable profitt, w<=ii may be expended yearely for some of the most necessary & charitable uses of the towne & much good may bo done by it & the stocke still not deminished but augmented or if the whole iOO'^ were putt into a stocke of corne & so husbanded constantly & the one halfe of the profitt goe to the disposing of the church & the other to the towne I pceive no inconvenience in it, this hath beene the wisedome & care of our forefathers in other parts & much publique good have beene done by it & I know not why wee should not imitate them herein except some other way may be thought of wherein such a stocke may be imployed with lesse trouble & more certaine profitt and yet accomplish the maine endes I intend herein the reliefe of the godly poore as farr as the profitts of it may runn I should willingly give way to it. And because my will & earnest desire is that this stocke of 100^^. might be constantly p''served for the uses above said (except God should take it away by fyre or some such extraordinary accident or [147.] speciall hand of God) & in such a case I should earnestly begg of the towne to make it up againe W^'i may be done without any great burthen to them & they are like to reape the benefitt of it, in the mean time I propose this as necessary & by me desired that securitie may be given to my executor or overseers for this 100^''. at the receiveing of it by some of the townes men to repay it againe in case they doe not p''serve it & constantly improve it to the uses before mentioned or some other that may be better or equivolent to it according to my true intent & meaning therein which is to doe the most & best good with it, that it may be imployed too and least the Townesmen should object that they are changeable every yeare & so may refuse to give bond though it be for a publique good, then I thinke the Deacons who are usually for theire lives, or by some ffeofles chosen for that ende may give bond for it & they to have the whole 100"^. to improve for the uses before (however I doubt not but sevall wayes may be thought on to secure it without any dam- age to one or two in pticular) which I leave to the Townesmen & Deacons to consult & conclude of, in the meane time I remember them in these two last yeares I have gayned for y<^ poore seaventeene pounds more then I have given away Avhich is to be added to the former hundred pound & because I have beene fayne to borrow of this poors stocke for my jowne use when I have wanted money of my owne & it hath beene a good helpe & supply to me that way many times therefore I am willing to make the seaventeene pounds [148.] twenty pounds as I have formerly done upon the same ground when there stock was but eighty & odd pounds I made it up One hundred pound therefore whatsoever there shalbe wanting in ready cash in the poores stock of one hundreth & twenty pounds my will & order to my executor or execu- tors is that they may make it up out of my owne estate in currant pay answerable to money & to be more carefuU in it then in the discharge of any other debt that I shall then owe. Now for this 120"^. before mentioned I am bound to acknowledge & to leave this testimony behinde me concerning it & how I came by it, for I doe 12 City Document No. 150. not account it properly my owne nor sira-ply my gift to the poore now but theire due & debt as that yf<^^ for these many yeares long before I came out of old England I began to gather & devote it to God & his service for such a pticular use now mentioned what of it I could save & spare besides that I yearely gave away out of it to pious uses as necessity called for at my hands, both in old England & since I came hither, which stocke I have gathered & from weeke to weeke layd apart by taking one penny out of every shilling which I have gotten by my trade, with other goods & m'"chandize that I have dealt in so that when I gayned much in a weeke there hath beene the more layd aside for any good use & when trayding hath beene dead & the gaines lesse, there hath beene the lesse layd a syde for this stocke & use, which course [140.] I have constantly kept above this 40 yeares and which I now mention the more particularly, not in any way of boasting for any good worke that I have either done or can doe for I know if God should enter into judgment with me for any or the best of them all, he might justly reject both me & them as abhominable but y' all that know it or may heare of it may take nottice of the blessing of God upon si^ch a free and voluntary course, w'='^ some others when they know it may be wilbe willing to imitate and blesse God for it, as some in old England have done to there great content & satis- faction by w<='' meanes I have had comonly lyeing by me 50^''. 60"^. or 80'^''. ready money especially in old England & some pretty quantity here, till more lately since money hath beene so scarce amongst us whereby I have beene fayne to borrow out of that stocke my selfe for my owne necessary use & occasions when I have wanted money of my owne & a good com- fortable helpe it hath beene to me that way in many pinches, but doe still keepe a careful! account what at any time I take out & pay it in againe as money comes to hand, out of w'='' stocke usually lying by me I have had opportunitie to lend to any poore godly Christian or Minister in neede (be- sides what I give away) 40^. 5i''. or a greater sume to helpe them in a straight & to make use of it in there trades for a convenient time which have done [150.] some more good then if they had at another time so much given them, sometimes I have ventured p''^ of it to sea, that the benefitt of it might redound to the stocke for the poores use, by w<='^ meanes also I could more readily & willingly give away twenty shillings or five pounds at a time upon any motion to a charitable use, if the occasion hath beene weighty, then either my selfe or some other good men of better estates could part with so many shillings had it not beene for such a stocke in a readynes. It is true that since I have given over trading in this Country & since the way of trade is not so much for ready money as for exchange, as for Corne, Cattle & other Comodities I cannot lay aside weekely as I use to doe for- merly, therefore by casting up my estate w<='i comonly I doe once every yeare I can see what I am increased in my estate and accordingly I doe lay aside yearely answerable to what I gett in the whole. Unto w'^ii stocke of the poore I am indebted at this time being M°. 6 : 12 : 1653 One hundred pounds starling or lOl^^ as nere as I can gesse, besides all the money that is now in Cash in 2 private boxes that are within my Cabinet in my Closet at Boston, the papers within each boxe will shew there being as I remember ten pounds in New England money with some Old England silver & sorr.e what more [151.] then tenn pounds in the other secreet box in which is two ten shillings pieces of Barbere gold & 258 single two pences, pence & halfe pence, vf'^^ boxes are to be unlocked or opened with any ordinary pinne or needle thrust into a small pinhole that is there against a piece of Steele which easily will give backe, haveing added to the whole stocke of my owne formerly 17 or IS"', and now three pounds more, w*:"^ is 20 or 21"'. in all to make up the whole stocke 120"' ■w'^''^ I give as the poores use, for that helpe & supply I have received from it, in the times of my owne neede, Now for this money I have nothing to doe but to take care that it be well payd in within one yeare or two at the most, after my decease, if my executor cannot with conveniency pay it in before, & to provide by the best way I can suggest or devise that it be also well disposed of improved & imployed so (according to my owne purpose intent & desire in saveing it to- geather) that the stocke may still remaine & the profitt of it yearely imployed, so as it may doe good to many, as many yeares after my death & more, as it hath done in the time of my life, Now what my way & thoughts are for the Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 13 best improvem' of it, I have before proposed, if a more useful &, profit- able way can be found out both for y« p'"serving of the stocke & augmenting ■ the profitt of it I shall freely leave it to the advice of my [153.] Executor & overseers with our Eld™ Deacons and Townsmen that shall then be or any other that can give better advice or propose a better way, but if the Towns- men Deacons or some other by there ord'' shall refuse to give sufficient bond for this hundred & twenty pounds to secure the stocke then this my gift shall cease and become utterly voyd in respect of Boston, And I will and bequeath the sayd One hundred and twenty pounds to the use of Harvard Collidge in Cambridge to be improved as I shall hereafter mention, they takeing care to secure the stocke. And for the Three hundred pounds which I have given to the Towne of Boston to build a Condit, a Market house & Towne house with a Library Grannere & Armore, as I have before mentioned if the towne of Boston shall slight or undervalue this gift or my good will to them therein & shall refuse or neglect to goe about & finish these sev'"all buildings in manner & time before mentioned rather then they wilbe troubled with it, or add any- thing of theire owne for the finisheing of it, then my will is that this gift of 300^''. given to Boston for the uses of those buildings before mentioned shall utterly cease and become voyd in respect of Boston & those giftes that I have given with relation to those buildings as my Bookes to the Library &<=. or any others of them that I have [153.] not before provided for & ordered shalbe & remaine to the sole use of the Collidge at Cambridge in the same manner that I have ordered the former 120"'. in Corne for the poore in Boston, in case the Deacons or Towne shall refuse or neglect to give security for the principall stocke as before is mentioned. My true meaning herein is this that if the Towne of Boston shall sett upon one or two of these workes & neglect or refuse to carry on the rest (or some of the other that I have mentioned happely being done by the Towne before I dye) as if they should build only the Condit & Market house & not a Townes house or Library & Gallere or a Grannere & Armore & not a Condit or Market house &<=. then my will is that my executo"' shall give only such a proportion of this Three hundreth pounds as that worke or building shall come too, w'''^ they set upon only in relation to this gift of myne, compared with the value of the other buildings that I have likewise mentioned but they have left undone & that what upon that account shalbe reserved of the 300"'. shalbe for the use of the Collidge of Cambridge, as I have given the whole 300^''. in case the refuse or neglect to finish all those buildings or any of them within two or three yeares after my death as before I have ordered. Now if the 120"'. and this 300"'. or any part thereof shall fall to the Col- lidge my desire is that it should be improved (not about the buildings or [154.] repaires of the Collidge for that I thinke the Country should doe & looke after) but for the use & helpe of such poore & hopefull schoU™ whose parents are not comfortably able to maintaine them there for theire dyett & learning or for some addition yearely to the poorer sort of fellowes or Tutors whose parents are not able nor themselves have not abillitie nor supplies otherewise to defray there charge and make there studyes comfortable, so that my true intent herein may easily be discerned, which is not that one or two should enjoye the benefite of it all, or but for a yeare or two, but ac- cording to the proportion of that sume, which shall fall to the Collidge, my desire is that the godlyest & most hopefullest of the poorer sort of schoU''' may have an addition to that which there parents allows them of 20 or 40'. a yeare a peece while they abide in the Collidge or till some providence may helpe there supplyes otherwise or that as farr as it will extend, some may have the helpe of it for 2 or 3 yeares & then others may have the helpe & comfort of it 2 or 3 yeares after & so in order as long as the benefitt of this gift may continue or wheth' it may prove more usefuU to dispose of it for an addition or an inlargement to the comons of the poorer sort of schoU™ which I have often heard is too short & bare for them. Therefore because I have little insight in the [155.] true ordering of schoU™ & other things thereto belonging in a Collidge way & so possibly may dispose of my gift where there is lesse neede & that it may doe more good, if it had beene imployed in some other way, I am willing to referr it to the President Ffeofees & Overseers that are intrusted with the care & ordering of 14 City Document No. 150. the Collidge & SchoU" or Students, with the things thereto belonging, still taiceing in the Consent of my Executor & of such of the Overseers of this my will as shall then be alive & what they togeather shall judge to be the best & most needfullest way of iraploying of it amongst the Scholl'^ I shall consent too & when the certaine sume is knowne that doth fall to the Collidge, the President & Overseers may conflrr with my executor & overseers & to cast up what such a Sume would purchase by the yeare for 20 yeares or a longer time & if they agree & my executor consent to it he may keepe the legacy in his owne hands & pay to the Collidge yearely for so long a time as they agree upon so much p aiin out of some p*« of my lands or houses as they shall sett apart for that ende. I doe not enjoyne it but only propose it & leave it to the will & consent of my executo"" as he shall thinke (with the advice of my Overseers wilbe most convenient for him, though I like best of paying of it yearely, if there should not appeare some great inconvenience to other parts of my land, to have any part of it engaged so long togeather, for the payment of such-a [156.] rent, though I thinke that some one house or shop may be appointed for such an ende & some such way may be thought of as may prove no inconvenience to my executo'' or his estate more then to pay it out to the Collidge & to leave them to purchase with it somewhere else, for my will & desire is in this as it is in my former legacyas that the stocke may be p''served by purchasing therewith some thing to the Collidge & the bene- fitt or profltt thereof to be yearely distributed as farr as it will goe to the most necessary uses as I have before expressed. And concerning my bookes that I have given to begin the Library with all in Boston, my will is that my brother Willson & M"' Norton Eld^* at Boston or the teaching Eld'^ that shall at the time of my death (after my wife and son Benjamine have made choyce of some bookes for theire owne use as I have before expressed) may be requested to take paines to view over the rest of my bookes & such as they shall judge fitt for that use to take a pticul'' note or inventory of them & so to take them into there owne keeping or to leave them with my execute'' if they will, till the time mentioned in this will be ac- complished, that if the towne of Boston should not witliin three yeares after my deatli build a handsome roome for a Library & anoth"" for the Eld" & SchoU"^ to walke & meete in, as before I have expressed, that then they may [157.] be delivered to the President or some of the Overseers of Herbert Collidge in Cambridge to be placed as my gift or addition to that Library that is already begun there. I had in some of my form"" Wills set apart some legacies for the trayning up of some of the Indians, as also of theire children, to be taught to write & read & to learne the English tongue & had thought upon and proposed some wayes how to get of theire children and youth that they might be so taught, as also that some of our scholl" or young students might be incouraged to study & learne the Indian tongue exactly & they then to be set a part to contirr with to catechize & instruct the Indians in the grounds and principles of religion & to preach or prophecy to them in there owne language, as they should have beene ordered and directed either by y« Magistrates or Eld''^ or both, I had also left some pledge of my love & respect to M"' Elliott & some others that have taken paines to instruct & teach y® Indians in the wayes of God but the truth i-' that unkinde carriage of M'' Elliott (that I may putt noe worse Tittle upon it) in seeliing to interrupt yea to take away not only from myselfe but from some others also certaine fi'armes not given to us by the Genni'all Court but my owne bought with my money of the wor^P my brother Dudly & some others but after it was graunted by the Court to be in that place & after I had [1.58.] beene at the charge to survey it, measure it, bound it, marlce it & lay it out & after it was again ratifyed & confirmed to m by the Gennall Court & yet as I was informed by more then two or thre that he would not be taken off nor psuaded by any nay by none that spake with him about it to surcease his prosecution or endeavo'' to plucke it out of our hands againe for the Indians though there was land enough granted to them by the Gennall Court with out the bounds of any of our fFarmes w<='i carriage of his would have much straightened my resolutions in what I had set a part for this great worke though no further helpe had come in for the carrying of it on, the action it selfe being very unsavory & ofFencive not only to our selves but to many oth" if not to the most that had heard of it, though Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 15 they were not concerned in it as wee were, Therefore I would make it my request to the Reverent Eld''^ of this Country not to be too stifFe & resolute in accomplishing theire owne wills & wayes but to barken to the advice & counsell of there brethren & to be as easily pswaded to yeeld in civill & earthly respects & things as they expect to pi'vayi with any of us, when they have a request to make to us for one thing or another, least by too much stiffnes, to have theire owne wills & way, they hinder many good workes that may be pfitable to themselves and to the whole Country, But God j|159.] hath beene pleased to provide such a comfortable supply, from larger & fuller purses to carry on this great & good worke amongst the Indians & fully to recompence all that labo'' & take paines about it that they shall not neede the helpe of pticul'' psons to make any addidon that way. Now concerning the CoUidge at Cambridge because there is some doubt or uncertaintie in it whether the whole Three hundred pound or the fower hun- dred & twenty pound before mentioned or any part of it will come to the use of the CoUidge, it dependng upon the will and action of the Church & Towne, of Boston to accept or refuse it, upon the termes beforementioned, therefor if none of it or anything under the one halfe of the whole sume which is Two hundred & Ten pounds shall fall to the CoUidge, Then I give and bequeath cue hundreth pound of that which I had formerly set apart for the Indians to be now to the use of the CoUidge w<='i lOO^t) ^^jn purchase Twenty Cowes & those Cowes wilbe let for Twenty pounds a yeare & the stocke still p''served by a carefuU ordering of them, which Twenty pounds p anno I desire may be distributed & disposed of to the best good of the schoU'* as I have before pro- posed but if the whole 420"' or the one halfe of it should come to the CoUidge, then my will is that this last legacy of One hundred pound shall become voyd or otherwise to stand firme & be made good unto them, after the three yeares tyme allowed to the [160.] Towne of Boston is ended which will discover wheth"" all or any part of the form"" sume will come unto them. If any shall wonder or demand why I have let aloiie all these gifts and good deeds mentioned in this will till I dye & have not done somewhat in my life time, though not so much, when I might have seene the disposing of it my selfe & have helped to have sett them on foote & to have settled & mad a beginning in them & so have reaped the benefitt of the pray" of the poore & the comfort of such good acts while I had lived. I answ'' the pray""^ of the faithfuU is much to be desired & prized & to have the loynes & backes & bellyes of the poore to blesse a man while he lives is a comfortable thing but that must be obtained in a lawfuU & well regulated way, least while some have occasion to blesse, oth"^^ may take occasion to curse or reproach. If indeed I had given nothing or but very little in my life time to any good worke or to releive the neeessitie of the s*^ or had done little or no good with that estate which God hath bestowed upon me then it might have beene cast upon me as a reproach but if I have endeavo^'ed to honno'' God with my substance & with the first fruites of all my increase & have endeavo'"ed to doe good with what God hath bestowed upon me, so farr as I might likewise provide for the necessities of my owne family, the care of carrying on my calling & other [161.] dealings in the world justly a man is best able himselfe to judge what he can doe or what he can spare to this or that good worke, better than others that know not his charge straights or occasions, it is an easy matter for oth™ to carve large portions out of other mens estates & tell what they might or should doe, yet he may doe as much as his estate will pmitt comfortably or as God requiers at his hands, though all men doe neither see it nor know it, nor all that are in neede & deserve supply cannot tast of it, neither doe I thinke that God doth require a man to be so liberall in his life (except urgent neees- sitie calls for it at his hands) as thereby to cast his owne family into steights or wants or that shall disinable him comfortably to discharg his owne debts or engagements or to cary through the care & charg of his family) Then there is no just cause of censure God doth not require that others should be eased & wee greived, but some have a speciall faculty to censure other mens actions & direct what others should doe or might doe, when they see not there owne defects or neglects & to extoU & multiply smale acts of their owne & undervalue greater in others, because they know them not, as if themselves could not have praise but by dispraising & censuring of others. 16 City Document No. 150. I answer that time past prsent & to come are all one with God, he takes notice of the purpose & intents of the heart, if it be reall he is pleased [162.] to accept of the will for the deed & of good actions intended to be done, as if they were allready done when there is just cause to hinder or prolong them, David had a good desire & purpose to build God a house in his life time but his providing & p''pareing that it might be built after his death was accepted yea better accepted of God then if he had done it in his life, if a man did looke after outward applause & the praise of men more then of God, it were a great inducement to doe all while he lived and nothing when he dyed but doubtles good workes provided for in a mans life, but not knowne till after his death, if they be free from superstition & an opinion of merritt is most free from ambition & popular applause. I answer, when that uncomfortable trouble & censure past upon me in the Court, I was indebted neare or altogeather Thirtie hundreth pounds w* was sufficient to have broken the backe of any one man in the Country, though he had beene of a better estate then my selfe & so would have done me if God had no carryed me through it beyond my owne expectation or foresight. Now my care (and according to my dutie if I mistake not) hath beene first to pay these debts, that every man might have his due honestly & without trouble or just complaynt & withall to provide for my family w<='^ hath not beene smale nor carryed on with a light or easy charge & yet with no more prodigallitie then [lt>3.] what necessitie & a wise Providence hath called for at my hands, considering also the great losses that I have had by sea & land, and had I beene wanting in care for the discharge of either of these I should have borne the burthen & reproach with little support or comfort from the Country, I must have stoode upon my owne leggs or fallen into greater straights in re- spect of men whatsoever my publique good workes or bountieto others might have beene & in such a case they would not have beene so well esteemed but rather taken as fruites of my folly, pdigallity or vayne glory & would not have wanted for variety of censures, according to sevall men fancyes & affec- tions, but haveing now gott comfortably through or neare it, all those great debts and charges that I have beene at, so that I begin but now to breath as it were & through the great mercy & unexpected support & assistance of my good God to stand upon my owne leggs & doe but now as it were learne to goe alone I was not in a capacitie to doe it before, though God was pleased to give me a comfortable estate, but as soone as the Lord was pleased to carry me through my ingagements then God putt it into my minde to thinkwhati might doe in acknowledging my thankfullnes towards him not only in words but in some reall actions or deeds, w^^ purpose of myne I hope he will accept of, not according to what I have not but according to what I have [104.] though it . could not conveniently be before but after my death, and how few my dayes on this earth may be he alone knoweth & it is in his hands alone to make good these my poore intentions & desires by p'"serving what now he hath of his goodnes given to me, or by increasing of it through his blessing while I live & these are the true reasons why I durst not adventure upon such workes as these before, not for want of affection or desire but for want of convenient opportunitie and abillitie to doe it. Item I give & bequeath to mv loveing son Major Benjamine Keayne over and above the third pa^-t of my cleare estate, both of lands goods & debts &"=. as before mentioned & intended, the great Gold Emerod Ring, that was my wives fathers & now in my wives keeping, which I desire that he may keepe by him & neither sell nor give away as long as he lives, except some great necessitie should force him thereunto. Item I give & bequeath to him further as my speciall gift to him my little written booke in my closet upon 1 Cor 11, 27, 28, w<=h is a Treatise on the Sacram'. of the Lords Supper p Rf. Briarly, a little thin pocket booke bound in leather all written with my owne hand which I esteeme more pretious then gold & w'''^ I have read over I think 100 & 100 times & hope he will read it over no lesse, but make it his constand companion & that it may be as pretious to him [165.] as ever it was & as still it is to me, to let any one that desires have a coppie of it I would not have him deny but else I desire him & hope that he will never part with it as long as he lives, I must acknowledge that in some of my former wills I did by speciall gift be- queath to him likwise my 3 great written paper bookes upon the exposition Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 17 of the Bible upon this expectation & request that he would carry on the same worke in manner as I have began which wilbe a worke of his whole life, but considering since, that he wilbe hardly able, nor it may be, willing to take so much paynes & considering also that such a worke as that should be apro- pritated to one man only, that may be so beneficiall & usefuli to a society of men (except for the ende before mentioned) and is more fitt for publique then private uses & more usefuli for schoU''^ then others & considering fur- ther that I have given libertie to my son to make clioyce of some bookes out of my study, such as he shall flnde most usefuli & necessary for his owne study & reading both Divinitie & Hestory therefore I have since thought it would be more usefuli to give them to some publike library as now I have done & I would add only this that when I am dead upon the pusall of my studdy there wilbe found many bookes both printed & written (w'^'^ I have read over) that have divers leaves turned downe thickein them, they are only such choyce places w<='' I intended & was apart of my constant [166.] worke while I lived, so farr as they concerne Scripture & Exposition, to transcribe into those 4 great paper bookes before mentioned & so I have generally done by all the bookes that I have & doe read, & should be glad if some ingenious young scholl'' that hath a good legeable hand & a ready & willing minde that delights in writing & reading, were requested to carry it on till the worke come to be more nearely finished. Item I give & bequeath to my loveing wife M™. Ann Keayne over & above hir third part of my lands houses the benefitt and profitt whereof she is to have dureing hir naturall life I meane the third part of the rents & profitts or due worth of all my lands houses & tenements which I shalbe possessed of, at the time of my death, as they shall yeeld being let out for yearely rent & so she to have the third part of the same to be yearely or quarterly payd unto hir she allowing out of the same a part proportionable to hir thirds as shalbe disbursed or layd out from time to time to keepe the whole in good repaires, or if my son Benjamine & she should agres to have some part of the land or houseing appropriated to hir owne use as should be judged equally to amount to the value of [167.] one third of the whole by the con- sent & advice of my Overseers, for hir to set & let during her life or by order of Court in case they should not agree. Then my wife to be engaged to maintaine & keepe in good repaire all such housing fenceing or inclosures & not to make spoyle or wast of any part thereof & to leave the same in good & sufficient repaire at hir death, that w"^ shalbe so set apart for hir dowry or thirds, according to the true intent of our law here provided on that behalfe, I say besides these thirds & besides those bookes that she comonly makes use of for her owne reading & besides hir owne wearing apparrell of all sorts I give and bequeath to my said wife One fTeather Bedd & Bedd- steede with a ffeather Bowlster & one pillow, two white blanketts, one Rugg, two paire of sheets, two pillowbers, with a paire of curtaines & valence suitable to her owne use, not the best of all that I iiave in my house, but the bedd with the furniture before mentioned, tO' be the second or next to the best of all if there should be any matteriall difference betweene them. Item. I give & bequeath more as a further token of my love to hir, that great Silver beare bowle that was given to us both by M^ Prescot at the time of his death, I meane he gave us 3"^ to buy a piece of plate, with which & some additions of my owne money putt to it I bought this cupp, which in- graven upon the boule thereof to [168.] be the gift of M'' Prescott to us. Now because I know that 1 shall leave (God being pleased to blesse & pros- per that estate which now I have) a comfortable estate both to my wife & son, in the third part of my whole cleare estate, my debts being payd to my son & the third part of my land & housing or the due value thereof w<=^ I have given to my wife dureing hir life & at hir death the same to returne againe free & without intanglem'* in good condition & repaire w"^out trouble & molestation unto my son & heyre Major Benjamine Keayne or to his heires executo" & administrate™ in case God should take him away before his mother, to be disposed of by him or them as I shall further order by this my Will & Testament And because I have allready given to my son Benjamine Keayne a comfortable portion at his marriage w=*> is all that he can challenge, by agreement betweene my Brother Dudley my selfe & son at the consumation of that unhappy & uncomfortable match betweene them, therefor I hope my 18 City Document No. 150. son will not thinke much of what I doe here give away by legacyes out of my owne estate or out of my owne third part but wilbe studious to pforme them according to my true intent I haveing besides what is before mentioned shewed both my care & love in leaveing him a comfortable estate, againe by what I now leave or give to him And because I know I have not money to pay my severall gifts or legacyes bequeathed in this will, my whole estate lying cheifly in land & housing with some debts, cattle, corne, housholu stuffe, plate & divers [169.] sorts of tooles & moveables for carting, plowing & that these legacyes will lye cheifly upon my heyre and execute'' to see discharged & pformed & as I would not wrong my executor by paying out the cheife & most vendable estate in lega- cyes & leaveing the worst thereof to him for his portiCu or by by forceing him to sell off all the cattle or stocke of my ffarme to pay legacyes & so to hurt or overthrow the ffarme & the profitt there of, for want of a stocke to let out with it, so on the other side I would not have my legacyes stoped unpayed, or by any meanes diverted from theire proper uses intended, upon any p''tence of haveing over given my estate, or more then I have left to discharge it with except some manifest declension in my p''sent estate (by fyre, death of cattle or the plunder of some enemy or some great change of the times or Government which should much alter the prize & value of houses land cattle & other goods from the Comon worth & estimate of things as they are now) should plainely appeare & in such cases it is just & equall that the legacyes should beare a proportionable losse or abatement, as well as that, other part of my estate which I have bequeathed to my wife & son, only that One hun- dred & twenty pounds given to the poore of the poores stocke & such partic- ular gifts in plate or houshould by speciall name mentioned as to my wife & son excepted, they being payd fully as my debt Therefore that all things may be carryed on equally & honestly, my will & desire is, that the rest of my whole estate may be appraised & justly & equally valued, not underfoote but to there proper Avorth & value, by some men of honesty that are skillfull & understanding in tlie severall sorts & kinds [170.] of goods or lands that is to be valued according to their best judg- ments & apprehentions as I have before ord''ed & these appraysers to be so informed by my executor or overseers before they goe about it, Avhatmy will & desire is here in vf'^^ done & the value cast up, my son haveing not only a third part in my land but also of my goods cattle & the rest of my estate he may make choyce of such part of the houshould stuffe cattle or other goods as he desires amounting to a third p'. of them at the prizes they are valued at, if he will have so much in goods & if he would have more, or some other pticular things of the goods above his part mentioned by will, then he to pay as much for it as any other would doe to have the same, so also if my wife should desire any part or pticul'' thing of the houshould stuffe or goods or rings or piece of plate for her owne use besides what 1 have given to hir, she to have it before any other she giveing the full value & as much as any oth"" would give for the same things without fraude & not to take them at theire owne prizes, or at halfe the worth & without being accountable to the estate for it, which done & the stocke for the ffarme p'"served what it may, the rest of the goods and houshould stuffe & all other things that can be spared to be sould to the best advantage & to pay the legacyes with it, as farr as it will goe, or it is like that many of the Legatees wilbe willing if they be made acquainted with it, yea & thoose to take there legacyes out of such houshould stuffe & goods, as you would sell & part withall & [171.] so likewise for the overplus of y*^ cattle & if these things & my debts will not discharge all my legacyes then some part of my housing or land must be sould or engaged or set a part to make them good, only I conceive it is best for my son to keepe his inheritance Avhole & to part with the more goods cattle, houshould stuffe, debts, bookes, or what else may better be spared to pay legacyes then quit to sell away, the most part of the land or hous- ing w<='i I leave to his owne best consideration, and to the advice & counsell of my overseers of this will which I doubt not will advice him & helpe him by there counsell to doe that whicli shalbe most comfortable for his well being, especially seeing I have given him some considerable time for the paying of the legacies that I might not put him upon streights to pay all on a suddaine, though I thinke it wilbe his wisdome to pay them, especially Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 19 the smaller giftes as fast as he can by degrees, as debts or pay comes in though somewhat before the time mentioned, and my motion about my sonnes keeping his lands & inheritance rather then goods, is because my desire is that he would resolve to live here in this country & here to settle his aboadso long as he can enjoye his peace & keep a good conscience & live comfortably which I thinke he may doe as well if not better then in any other part of the world, that I know of except the times should much alter & here he will have a comfortable estate to live upon without any great paines or distraction & if he should have an intent to remove himselfe into England, to accomplish that he wilbe forced to sell his land it may be for halfe the value [172.] of it, therefor my desire is, that he would resolve to live here where he may enjoye God & his Ordinances in peace & doe good in his place & helpe to carey on the worke of God here, except some impulsive & unexpected occasion should call him away & such as the Overseers or the Godly Eld™ should judge to be a call of God, to carry him away & in such cases I would not so much as in my minde or desire be found a fighter against God or his will for any endes of my owne. Item I give & bequeath to Hannah Keayne my son Benjamin's daughter my Grand child Three hundred pound for a legacy, to be payd to liir on the day of hir marriage or at the age of Tewenty yeares which of them shall first happen, so hir marriage be not before the eightenth yeare of hir age, and in the meane time my will is that within two yeares after my death this stocke or legacy may be put forth upon good security to the best advantage & im- provem' that it may (during the times before mentioned) in such a way as it may be best & safiest to imploy it in, except my son Benjamine desire to keepe it in his owne hands upon the termes before and after mentioned which I should like well of, he agreeing with my overseers what to allow yearly for it, while lie keeps it in iiis hands & giveing security to them on his daughters behalfe for the whole the disposing & ordering of which 300'*'. I leave to the counsell & care of my executo'' hir father with the overseers, as also with the advice of hir Grandmother, not only how the stocke may best be [173.] ordered but how she may best be educated & brought up in the feare of God & learning, the profitt of which money yearely may be for hir dyet, clothes & learning (a part of which my desire is, may be to teach her to write well & to cipher in a reasonnable manner & if I thought slie would not addict hir selfe to it or that hir tiither or grandmother should neglect to have hir taught therein I would take away a good part of this legacy given to hir) till she come to receive it hir selfe as above said & what can be yearely spared out of the produce & profitt of the stocke, that to be reserved for the increase of the maine stocke. more I would have given to hir but that I know hir father will have a good estate & haveing yet no other child but she, wilbe able to give hir more then she will deserve, besides what the love & tender affec- tion of hir Grandmother will lead hir too, however if neither of them should doe more for hir, this of it selfe through Gods blessing wilbe a comfortable portion for hir maintenance, so she be not cast away in hir match, if God be pleased to bring hir to that estate & my request & desire both to hir father & grandmother & also my overseers that all care may be taken not only for hir good education but also for hir marriage that she miscarry not that way but may be bestowed of some man truely fearing God & of good esteeme & report of such as doe feare him, and my speciall charge to hir is (& it should & will be of weight to [174.] hir if the feare of God be placed in hir heart) that she would not dare to set hir affections upon any in that kind, without there advice counsell & helpe viz' hir father grandmother &". in such a choyce, Now if it should please God that Hannah should dye before the age of Twenty yeares unmarryed or before eighteene yeares marryed then if my son Benja- mine Keayne should have any other child or children of his owne lawfully begotten & liveing at the death of Hannah, if he have but one then T give Two hundred of that 300^''. to that one, if two then they to have, the 300"' betweene them, if three then they to have One hundred pound a peece to be payd to them when either of them shalbe marryed & upon the same termes as it was given to Hannah Keayne as above, if my son have but one child then the odd hundreth pound I give to himselfe & the other 200^''. to his child as before but if it should please God to take Hannah away before she comes to enjoye hir portion & my son have noe other child I give Hannah liberty to dispose of 10 20 City Document Ko. 150. or Twenty pounds of this portion in legacyes tohir freinds if she should dye but a yeare before she should received it, then I give the whole Three hundreth pounds as foUoweth, namely One hundreth pounds thereof to my loveing wife M". Anne Keayne if she be liveing at the time of Hannahs death and the other Two hundreth pounds unto my son Benjamine hir father, if he survive hir [1 75.] and if my wife should be dead before hir grandchild comes to age, that hundreth pounds that I give to hir I give to the CoUidge at Cambridge in New England & if God should so order it as to take away the life of my son before his daughter Hannah dye & he leave noe issue behind him & that Hannah should dye before she comes to receive her portion as before. Then I give & bequeath that Two hundreth pound likwise that my son should have had unto Har- vard Collidge in New England to disposed of as I have formerly made men- tion of, with all the profitts & benefitts of it but what of it hath beene ex- pended upon Hannah before hir death or at hir Burriall, or if Hannah should dye but a little before she comes to age as a yeare or the like I give hir libertie to dispose of Ten or Twenty pounds of hir portion to gratify any of hir freinds in legacyes if she desire so to doe and because my son Major Benjamine Keayne is now in old England & I am here & may dye himselfe be- fore me though wee should not suddainly heare of it, or may be taken away before or in his coming hither or without making any will in relation to my estate, he not heareing or knowing what I have left him, or done for him, & there- fore by will hath not disposed of any part of my estate at or before his death, in such a case or cases if God should so dispose of things Then my will is that his third part of my whole estate which I have given & bequeathed to him with all the benefitt of any other part of my estate [1 76.] which shall acrue to him by virtue of his executo'"ship with the Three hundred pounds given to his daughf Hannah, a part of which I have given to himselfe, in case she should dye, before she be of that age mentioned before in this will, if he should dye before he comes to enjoye that & leave no other children lawfully begotten of his owne body to inherite or possess* the same, which if he have then they are to enjoye his part as I shall after mention but in fayle thereof then I dis- pose of it in manner following. Imprimis if my son should dye in debt justly to any man or men that can legally or honnestly make it appeare to be so & was not payd or discharged before his death or the injoyeing of this estate of myne left to him, Then my will is that such debts of his out of this estate of myne given to him may be duely & honnestly payd & discharged Secondly That if my estate should fall short in any thinge as not sufficient to pforme all my gifts & legacyes mentioned in this will according to my true intent & meaning, then, my will is, that any such defect shalbe made up & made good, out of this part of my estate given to my son, in case he should dye before he comes to enjoy & possesse it & make no will to dispose of it, or not of so much as by [177.] virtue of my will he should have enjoyed, if he had lived, These two things p''missed, if he sliould be in debt & have not sufficient out of his owne peculiar estate to pay them & all my owne legacies given in this will made good out of it, if there should not be estate-enough of ray owne undisposed of, remaineingto doe it, as I apprehend & hope there will with a comfortable remaineing part left to my sons third part, if there be then I dispose of the whole, or of what part of it that shall remaine as followeth Impri^ to his daughter & my Grand child Hannah Keayne fewer hundreth pounds of it, upon the same termes as I have given to hir the Three hundred pounds before mentioned & in case Hannah should dye before she comes to enjoye this, then it as the former to be disposed of to one of my sone Ben- jamin's children, or if he should have more children then one, then to have it equally devided amongst them, as before mentioned. If my son Benjamine Keayne should have any oth'' child or children live- ing at the time of his decease besides Hannah Keayne, if it be one son or more, tlien his eldest son to have one halfe of the remaineing part of his fath" portion & the rest of it that remaines, to be equally devided amongst his other children, Hannah Keayne also haveing a proportionable part in this also, if he have not above two children more liveing then besides hir selfe, though it be by anoth"" wife then hir mother, if he should have but one son & noe othere daught™ but Hannah [178.] then that son to have one halfe of his fath''* portion as I said before, if he should have no son & yet have Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 21 one or more daught™ besides Hannah, then the one halfe of what I have given to my son is to be devided betweene them proportionably as I have mentioned before & it to be sequestred upon good securitie, that they may enjoye it when they come to age & the profitt that shall arise out of theire sevall portions to be imployed for there foode & rayment & for there good & carefull education in the feare of God & such learning as is needful! for them to be trayned up in, but if it should please God that my son should have no other child liveing at his death but Hannah Keayne & he dye before lie knowes what I have given to him & so hath not disposed of it by his owne will as I have before mentioned Then my will is that Hannah Keayne should have Two hundred poundes more out of her fath" part, that is Sixe hundred pound in all besides the Three hundreth pound that I have given to hir of my owne My will is that my loveing wife M''^ Anne Keayne hir mother should have One hundred pounds out of that part I have left to my son in case she be then alive I give and bequeath to every one of my overseers mentioned in this will that shall then be alive & remaineing in this Country, out of my sons part Ten pounds a peece for theire care & paines [179.] taken & to be taken in the discharge of that trust & confidence that I putt in them all, to doe there uttermost to see this my will fullfiUed & takeing order to the uttermost of there power & skill that it may faithfully be observed & pformed according to my true intent & purpose therein I give and bequeath out of my sons part in the cases before mentioned unto my sister Grace Jupe hir three children, of whome I have yet the care of viz'.

Ffor the rest of my sons third part or what else should have accrued to him out of my estate by virtue of his executo'^ship or my gifts, as the third part of my land, which is to returne when his mother shall dye or Hannah Keaynes leg- acyes [180.] & portion not before disposed of in case she should dye before she come of yeares to enjoye it or of my son Benjamins other children in case he should have any besides Hannah & they or any of them should dye before they come to enjoye what I have before given to them & have not otherwise dsposed of it, I leave it to my overseers with the advice & consent of my wife while she remaines alive to order & dispose of it, to any such publike or charitable use or uses to the Towne of Boston or to the Collidge of Cambridge in New England or else where that they or the greater part of them in theire wisedome & consciences shall judge to be most usefull & necessary & in such away that the maine stock be it more or lesse if possible may still be p'"served to the said uses & endes as I have ordered in my other legacies of such kinds. And my desire & request is to all my overseers that in case my son Ben- jamine should dye before his daughter Hannah Keayne should be of age to enjoye hir owne estate that they would be assistant to my wife hir Grand- mother, in there best counsell & advice to dispose of hir for hir future educa- tion & learning, unto some such wise & godly M""^ or family where she may have hir carnall disposition most of all subdued & reformed by strict discipline & also that they would shew the like care & assistance in seasonable time to provide some fitt & godly match proportionable [181.] to hir estate & con- dition that she may live comfortably & be fitt to doe good in hir place & not to suffer liir to be circumvented or to cast away hirselfe for want of counsell & watchfuUnes upon some swagering gentleman or others that will looke more after the enjoying of what she hath, then liveing in the feare of God & true love to hir. 22 City Document No. 150.

Item I give & bequeath to the three children of my owne sister M''^ Grace Jupe now deceased, namely Anthony Jupe, Mary Jupe now wife to John Mosse of Boston & Benjamine Jupe now with me & under my care & tuition One hundred pounds out of my owne estate, besides what is mentioned before out of my sonnes estate in case he should dye as above mentioned, which hundreth pound I give after this manner, Thirtie pounds thereof unto my cousine Anthony Jupe to be payd to him or layd out for him in some such way as may bring him in some thing yearly rath'' then to pay it to him at once except he be in some settled way, wherein it may appeare to my executo'' & overseers that it wilbe more for his benefitt& advantage to have it togeather, then to have the benefitt of it yearely & this to be payd to him or layd out for him Avithin two yeares after my decease if he be then Hveing & he paying [183.] to my executoi" or his assignes any such debt as shall appeare then to be due to me from him at the time of ray death if any such debt should be. _ Item I give & bequeath unto my couzine Mary Jupe now Mary Mosse Thir- tie pound more out of the above said Imndred pounds to hir owne particular use & benefitt, to be layd out within two yeares after my death in some such way that she may have the benefitt of it comeing in yearely for hir supply, if she be then liveing, only if her husband should owe me anything at the time of my death, that I have lent him or layd out for him or them before, I would have that deducted out of this Thirty pound, or if it should be above Thirty pounds then this legacy to cease & it to be accounted payd in the lew of so much debt. Item I give & bequeath unto my couzine Benjamine Jupe (because he is lame & dime sighted & not like to doe much, if anything at all towards his owne maintenance) I give to him fortie pounds, if he be liveing two yeares after my death, and then to hnve it layd out in some such way or upon some such thing as may bring in a yearely profitt towards his dyett & cloathing while he lives & at his death the stf,cke it self c to be returned to my executo"" his heires or assignes & this is besides tlie hundred pounds that I have given him before out of my sons estate in case he should dye before he comes here, only for Benjamine Jupe if it please God he should marry to an honnest carefuU woman with the advice & counsell of my wife & son Benjamin [184.] Keayne or by the advice & assistance of my Overseers & he should have one child or more by hir then my will is that not only the profitt of this forty pounds after the death of the father may be continued to the children or child of his but that the stocke it selfe may be devided betweene them. And though Anthony Jupe become to age & so fitt to dispose of himselfe & Mary Jupe is disposed of in marriage & have theire meanes in there owne hands, with which two I have reckoned & have sett there accounts even, both of what I received by virtue of my executo'" ship to there moth'"^ will & what I layd out for them & upon them while they were under my tuition & "Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 23 care & have full releases & discharges from them under both there hands in my wliite boxe in my closet at Boston upon which my Cabenet stands, not- withstanding though they be now from me & at there owne disposing all eaveing Benjamine, & notwithstanding all the care & paines that I tooke for tuom while tliey came to age I would yet show the affection of an uncle towards them in desireing & seeking there good, and because I have no other nearer kindred in this country that I know of, nor none that I can so well confide in, or that I may make so bould with as my loveing wife (& as I doe heartily thanke hir for that care paines & love that she hath allready shewed to these three fatherles & motherles children since they came to me for my sake, they being otherwise untoward enough as children without discreetio & consideration which I have kindly taken at [185.] hir hands & doe grate- fully accept, my desire & request to hir is, that while she and they live in these part that she would looke after them & rememl:)er that they are the neare kindered of a husband tliat hath truely & tenderly loved hir, to owne •them & doe for them, by hir conntiiiace counsell loveing carriage towards them & enter tayneing of them as neede shalbe, when they come to visit hir or take advice of hir about any thinge tliat is meete & to suffer them to want nothing, that she without p'judice to hir selfe may helpe them unto (whilst they take good courses fit to be owned & carry themselves loveingly & respectfully towards hir) & tlieir necessities & steights calls for, if any such thinq: may befall either of them. And the same request I make to my son Benjamine Keayne to be assistant both to his mother &, them, to doe unto them all what good he can, but if all or either of them shall grow proud, stubborne, undutifull or troublesome either to my wife or son or should goe about to molest or vexe either of them by the sinister instigation of them- selves or others for them upon no just grounds or shall cast out contemp- tuous or or disgracefuU speeches against them or my selfe after my death of which I know no just cause, haveing as I said before reckoned with Anthony & Mary Jupe & examined all the accounts betweene us before witnesse & with the helpe of oth'"^ chosen thereto & have there discharge & release, only with Benjamine I could not reckon, because he is not of yeares, [186.] but his accounts both of what I have received of his & layd out for him, ever since he came to me, is by it selfe in my vellum debt booke & I would have all just right done unto him, when his account comes to be examined & ended, but if they should goe about needlesly to molest or vexe either my wife or son insteed of thankefullnes for all my love & care for so many yeares to y™ y" my will is y' y<^ legacyes y' I have given to them, namely to those that shall so carry themselves shall cease & be utterly voyd, unto him or them that shall so behave themselves in any troublsome or reproachfull way & not payd nor continued to them Butformy couzine Benjamin Jupe because of his many infirmities & his inabillitie otherwise to helpe himselfe I doe in a speciall manner comend the care of him to the love & tendernes of my wife & son whome I have found to be very indullgent towards him & to see y' he may not be wronged, he hath comfortable maintenance left him, tobeare the charg of his dyet apparrell & phisicke by fower pounds a yeare left him by his mother in a house at London also by some tenements in London left him by his uncle M''. Nicholas Jupe which will produce 8 or ten pounds p anno to him for 18 or 20 yeares besides what I have left him in this will & if it fihould be thought convenient that he should marry for his future comfort & he inclyned to it, that then my wife & son would afford him the best advice & counsell in makeing choyce of such a match for him as may be for his future comfort & although possibly [187.] when he comes to age, my selfe being dead, he may desire to live with his sister Mosse which in some respects I should not dislike, yet if my wife be willing & finde it convenient to keepe him with hir, I knowing hir former care & tendernes to him, hir s'killfull- nes in sicknes & health to provide for him, I thinke he can be no where better then with hir, but if she should putt him out to board from hir selfe then I thinke his owne sister M'^. Mosse may be fitter to have him then a stranger, except my son should keepe a family here & would keepe him in his owne house, in case his mother should refuse it, else considering that my wife hath allready undergone the trouble of his education from his childhood to this time, when he was farr more sickly & troubled with such infirmities that few would have beene willing to have received him into there house & not 24 City Document '^o. 150. haveing meanes enough by halfe to defray the charges that must necessarily be layd out upon him, but what he had from ourselves I doe thinke it most fitt that she before any other should have the keeping of him now, when he is more out of trouble & meanes to maintain him, which he had not before & it were an ill requitall of hir former love & paines to take him from hir now, when there is lesse trouble in keeping him, if she be still willing to keepe him, possibly I should have done some what more for them at my death, but God haveing provided for them so comfortably by the death of another uncle in London wlio hath given to each of them 8 or 10"'. a yeare a peece, for 18 or 20 yeares & I have otherwise [188.] beene at charge with them & have had many occasions of exercising my love towards them for so many yeares togeather, since they have beene with me I thinke they have comfortable maintenance, if they be wise to improve it, the best way for there owne good Item I give and bequeath to my loveing brother Mr. John Willson our Pas- tor at Boston as a token of my love & thankef ullnes for all his kindnes shewed to me Ten pounds wishing that my estate were such that I could have done for him & his as I desire Item, I give & bequeath unto my loveing sister his wife, my wives owne sister Ten pounds to be wholly at hir owne disposing & foi* hir owne pticul' use & both these to be payd to them within two yeares after my decease.

John Winthrop which is now with God, though as I heard at that time was rather against me then for me, yet not long before his death at a meeting at Cap' Tings house whether all our Eld » & some Will of Robert Keatne, 1653. 29 other with my selfe was invited, where he in his discourse with our Reverend Teacher M''. Cotton & my Brother Wilson, my selfe with others sitting close by, he tooke occasion of his owne accord to speake of the proceedings of the Court in this busines, as if he had beene troubled [202. J or had had his mind exercised about it as that it was needfull & just to consider of that act againe, & by liis speech it seemed to me & others that he had a purpose of his owne accord to have mooved the genn'all Court to recall that censure that had past against me, which was approved of by those he spake it to. I did not thinke meete to make any reply or to give him occasion of further dis- course about it, because he had not made mention of my name as I heard though all understood whome he ment, Therefore about 3 weekes or a moneth after I went home to him & desired to know what his meaning was in such expressions that he had with our Eld"^ at such a time & then he more plainely tould me his meaning & I am confident that he hath beene much troubled in himselfe, that things past as then they did & that if he had lived he would have used his uttmost endeavo'' that my fyne at least should have beene restored back to me & not only himselfe but also some others not only of the Magistrates, but of the Deputies, yea some of them that were then againest me, have said that they tliinke the Court ought in justice to doe no lesse then to give me money againe Therefore I hope that what I have here writt out of the greife & trouble of my heart willbe no offence to those whome I reverence in the lord & intend to lay no blemish upon in the least kind, nor to no moderate or impartiall man, either that was then of the Court or out of it for I intend not to give them just offence, if others shall & will miscon- strue my true meaning, I must leave them to God unto [203- ] whome I have & shall still comitt my cause & cry to him for right & I have many testemonyes in my spirit that he hath righted me therein, not only in the hearts & judgem'' of many men that knew & heard of those proceedings, but also in my very out- ward estate that thought some intended it for my great hurt, yet God hath beene pleased to turne it to my good so that I have not since fared the worse nor lost by it but hath since carryed me through many & great engagem*^ with comfort, And it is not unusuall in wills for men in there last & dyeing Testaments when they shall speake no more to make mention of such things as have troubled them in theer lives & such acts as they could not submit to in theirejudgem*^ which they have done in there sufferings, I could mention some in my owne time that I know, besides others I have read on, I will only men- tion one, M^ Humphery Ffen a famous Minister at Coventry well knowne to many in this country a Nonconformist & therefore silenced by the BishP% in his last will and Testament, he made a full & open Protestation against Prel- acy & the ceremonyes for w<='^ he had suffered, but the times being then very corrupt, the p'laticall party, when the will came to be proved would not suffer that part of his will to be putt upon the records of there Court & seeing there is a libertie given to the memb™ of this Court & to others out of Court, that if any acts passe & they cannot concurr with the genn'all vote to make there remonstrance or protestation [204.] of discent so it be done modestly & without provokeing expressions, I hope therefore it will not be offencive for myselfe, that have beene & now am a member of the Court (when I first drew out this declaration in a former will) & also a member both of Church & Comonwealth (though unworthy) to relate the state of my case & declare my owne judgm' & discent (yea the judgm'^ of hundreds more besides my selfe) in a case vf'^^ doth so nearly concerne me & wherein I conceive I have received so much wrong by the practises of some that I forbare to name though I could poynt them out & liave observed & could tell of Gods dealings with some of them since but I forbeare, Therefore I would make this request to the overseers of this my will that all or some of them would (if they in there wisedome judge it not very inconvenient) to take a seasonable time to move the genn'all Court about it, to recall or repeale that sentence & to returne my fyne againe after all this time of enjoying it as that w^'i I beleive is properly & justly due to my estate & will not be comfortable for the Country, to enjoye I make no doubt but it will willingly be barkened too, though my selfe for some reasons sought it not while I lived though advised to it & I conceive it would be much for there honno"" & would justify theui in the hearts of many so to doe & would be no cause of greife to any of them in the great day of account, no not to them that were then most forward St 30 City Document No. 150. zealous of the prosecution, if any of them should be [205.] of that Court at that time & were it possible for me to know it certainely before I dye (though it be not for the love of the money, nor for addition to my estate by it, though it was a considerable sume about Eighty pounds as I remember) it would much ease & refresh my spirit in respect of the equity of it, And if upo" this motion of my overseers the Court shalbe pleased to consent, that my will is that what is so returned by them may be given to Harvard Col- lidge at Cambridge, according as I have proposed in my former gifts to that place or if they shall see any other worke more needfull upon w'='' it may be disposed of, to more good or publicke use or service I leave it to the discree- tion of my overseers with the consent of my execute" But some wilbe ready to say that shall read or heare of the expressions in this my will, if I am & have beene of this minde so long, how can it stand with that humble confession that I made both in the Court & in the Church (when I en- deavo'ed in the one & did in the other give satisfaction without carrying a great appearance of hypocricy or at least of repenting my repentings I desire in this to cleare my conscience both towards God & man & doe not thinke that these things are improper to be mentioned in a will, but very naturall & suiteable to it. Therefor I say first if my confession was humble & penetentiall, as is objected, that it did justly call for mercy & clemancy & not for advantage & more sev'ety as some made use of it to that end, but with what equitie I leave both them & it to the Lord & [200.] (& to such a time where in they may stand in need of mercy themselves & shall not finde it, for there shalbe judgm' mercyle& to them that show no mercy) to whome they must give an answere if some of them have not allready done it, if my confession was not humble & penitent, then the objection is needles, but I am glad the p'vailing paritie at that time so tooke it, though they looke upon it as an act of my guilt & use it as a weapon against me, but I thinke it wilbe a witnesse against them for there perverting of it. I did not then nor dare not now goe about to justify all my actions, I know God is righteous & doth all upon just grounds, though men may mistake in there grounds & proceedings, Counsell have erred & Courts may err & a faction may be too hard & outvote the better or more discerning part, I know the erro''=* of my life, the faylings in my trade & otherwise have beene many, therefor from God it was most just, though it had beene much more severe I dare not so open my mouth against it, nor never did as I remember but jus- tify him, yet I dare not say nor did I ever thinke (as farr as I can call to minde) that the Censure was just & righteous from men, was the price of a Bridle, not for takeing but only asking 2^ for it w"^"^ cost here 20'i such a haynous sine, which have since beene comonly sould & are still for 2=* G'^ & 3° or more, though worse in kinde, was the selling of 2 or 3 dozine of great gold buttons for 2* 10"^ p dozine that cost 2*" 2'^ ready money in London & bought at the best hand (such a haynous sin) as I shewed to many by my Invoyce (though I could not at that instant finde it when the Coiirt desired to see it) & since was confirmed by spetiall testimony from London & yet the buttons not payd for when the complaynt [307.] Avas made, nor I thinke not yet, neither did the complaint come from him that bought & owed them nor with his knowledge or consent as he hath since aifirmed, but meerly from the spleene & envy of another, whome it did nothing concerne, was this so great an offence ; Indeed that it might be made so some out of there ignorance would needs say they were coper & not worth 9-^ p dozine but these were weake grounds to passe heavie censures upon, was the selling of G^ navies for 8^ p lb. & 8'i nayles for 10'^ p lb. such a crying & oppressing sine though as I remember it was above two yeares before he that bought them payd me for them (& not payd for if I forgot not) when he made that quarreling excep- tion & unrighteous complaint in the Court against me (he then being of the Court himselfe) as if I had altered & corrupted my booke in adding more to the prize than I had set downe, for them at first delivery, w'^'^ if I had set .downe 8^ for that after 2 yeares forbearance, w'='^ I would have sould for T^ if he had payd me p'"sently, I thinke it had beene a more honest act in me then it was in him that promissed or a least p'"tended to pay me p''sently that he might git them at a lower prize then a man could well live upon & when he had gott my goods into his hands to keepe me 2 or 3 yeares without my money & though all that while there was no fault found at the prizes but Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 31 when lie could for shame keepe the money no longer, yet he will requite it with a censure in the Court, for my owne part as I did ever thinke it an ungodly act in him so I doe thinke in my conscience that it had beene more just in the Court to have censured him then me for this thinge though this was the cheifest [308.] crime alleadged & most powerfully cai-rycd against me & other things drawne in to make this the more probable & to helpe to make up a censure as some farthing skeanes of thread &". but the truth of the thinge was this, this man sent unto me for 2 or three thousand of 6^ nayles, I sent to him a bagg full of that sort just as them came to me from M'' Ffoots in London, never opened nor altered by me, these I entered into my booke at 8 ^ p lb. thinking he would have payd me in a very short time, it fell out that these nayles proved some what to little for his worke, he sent liiem againe & desired me to let him have bigger for them, I tooke them & sent him a bagg of 8ough he knew of the change of these G^ nayles for 8'i (which I had quite forgot through my many other occasions) & the length of time that they had stood in the booke unpayd) yet this he con- cealed from me & from the Court also (but to make the matter more odious, he challenged me & my booke of falsehoode supposing that because he had kept me so long from my money therefor I had made the prize higher by altering the figures, then at first I had charged them downe & that I required W^ p lb. for 6^ nayles & so carryed it in the Court, who was the more easily beleeved because he Avas a magistrate & of esteeme therein though it was a most unjust & untrue charge, & only from his owne imagination) till [209.] I cleared it by good testimony from an honest man in his owne towne whom he sent for the first nayles & did so bring them backe & received the bigger nayles for them, who came to me of his owne accord & tould me he heard there was a difference betweene such a man & I which he said he could cleare & related the matter fully to me Avhich I was very glad to heare, which brought all things to my rainde & what was the ground of altering the figures in the booke which before I had forgott, though I saw it was done with my owne hand, and this was the very truth of the thing. I p'sently acquainted our Honno'-'ed Governo'' M'' John Winthrop & some others who were very glad that the truth of that reproach was so unexpectedly discovered tS:. cleared & many if not most of the Court was satisfyed with it & saw the thinge to be very plaine in my debt booke, but the party himselfe would not be satisfyed, but they were 6'^ nayles set downe at 10^ p lb. though himselfe saw the figure of 8 as plaine as the figure of 10, Now I leave it to the world to judge, or any impartial 1 man, or any that hath understanding in trade whether this was a just offence or so crying a sine that I had such cause to be so penitent for (this being the cheife & pressed on with so great agravation by my opposers) except it should be that my actions innocent in themselves were so misconstered & I knew not how to helpe my selfe, especially considering it was no oppresseing prize but usuall with others at that time to sell the like so & since for almost halfe as much more frequently, as I thinke all know & yet both given & taken without exception, or at least without publique complaint, yea & the same gentleman himselfe, since he hath turned Marchant & Trader seemes to have lost his former tendernes of conscience that he had when he [was] way a buyer & not to be so scrupelous in his [210.] owne gaines takeing for if I be not misinformed & I thinke I had it from very good infor- mation, of some of his neighbo™ yet liveing that knew well what they said, he agreed with some of the neighbo" in his owne towne that he would send for or bring with him 1000^'' worth of English goods for the good of the Country which they should have at easy rates & he would take wheat pease or any sort of Corne & Cattle for the pay they provided there pay according to agreem' but he fayled them in there first expectation haveing no goods coma at all, yet another yeare he had a lesse quantity came & amongst them najdes & I beleeve taken up upon credit & not payd for before they came, yet when they were come, Corne nor Cattle would not serve for pay nor trust he would not, but his demaunds are ready money & for the gaines he will have 6) which he utterly deny- ing still I then produced my receipt for it, he read it & they all p''used it & sawe it faire writt by him that received the money, he acknowledged that he knew the gentleman a Linnen Draper in Cornhill & that he had dealings with him then & when he came for N. England but still said he had no account of him for this 200^'' I tould him that could not be but if he had not it did not concerne me, I charged him before them of the great injury that he had & f arder would have done to me if the Lord had not cleared my innocency by the findeing of this receipt & I tould them that I would write my selfe to the Linnen Draper about it & though he could not excuse it yet he had not a heart to submit so lowe as to acknowledg any fault to me, when he was gone I tould ou"" Eld'^ that intended to sue him for the slaund''^ & injury y' he had done to me, M^ Cotton wisht me rather to forbeare because of my late troubles & that it was no time for recriminations but after things were a little blowne over, it might be more seasonable to doe it, I followed his counsell, yet said I should not only cleare my owne innocency by it but also sett him out in his colo'^ both in this & his former prosecutions of me. But it may be some will alleadge in his defence that this was but his for- gittfullnes, it being so long agoe & that doubtlesse he would not purposely have wronged me in so great a sume as that was The greater the sume was the greater was his temptation to doe it. If his for- getfuUnes should excuse him in telling so many untruths & affirming possi- tively so many falce things why should not my forgetfullnes have excused me why I knew not where my receipt was & when I spake the truth [215.] that I had payd the money, though I did not certainely knoAV when, nor to whome with some other circumstances forgott, but they were rejected, nor all that I could say was esteemed of no value to him. I must needs say that I cannot readely be of theire beleife that so thinke though possibly there might be a slight, or a kind of willing forgetfullnes. But I appeale to all that know the man, & knew his estate both then & since as well as I did, whether it be a thinge likely that such a lumpe as 200^** should sincke downe & be so drowned in his estate, that he could not misse it in 3 or 4 yeares togeather, no nor when things were more fresh in his memory,. or that he should appoint another to receive it of me & yet him- selfe neither owed it to that man before, nor received nothing of him for it since, nor was not by either of them brought to account, neither before he came to New England (when in all likelyhoods they would reckon haveing had dealings togeather) nor never since, I know in those dayes he stood in as much money as other of his neighbo™ & that the remooving from one coun- try into another for habitation is very chargeable & putts many of good estates to some streights for want of money to even & discharg many ex- pences & debts, therefore that he should lett 200"* lye in my hands so many yeares without receiveing any profitt or forbearance for it, yea & quite for- gett to call for it or to regaire some note under my hand or some security that he. might have had some thing to shew him that I did owe him so much, seeing he was to leave the land & goe so long & dangerous a voyage by sea, it is to me so incredible that I cannot beleeve it. But this I doe beleive, that if I had dealt so by him & affirmed so resolutely things tliat were falce & untrue, though it had beene for the [216.] getting of a farr 34 City Document No. 150. lesse sume then 200^'' from him, he would not only have judged me to he a lyar & a very falce & deceitful! man, but would have made the world be- leeve, that I Avould have cozened him of so much money & would have thought me Avorthy to have stood in the Pillory or to have suffered some other severe punishment, that might have made me an example to all others. As it well appeared by his violent prosecutions of me in the Court for farr smaller offences then this, his nayles haveing the greatest shew, yet if some could have had y^' wills they would have had the fyne mounted up to 1000"* yea 500"* was too little except some coporal punishment was added to it, such as my mans standing openly one a market day with a Bridle in his mouth or at least about his necke, as I was credibly informed, here was well guided zeale. It is true I was much greived & astonished to be com- plained of in Court & brought pubiquely to answ'' as a greivous malefactor, only upon the displeasure of some that stirred in it, more then properly did concerne them & to be prosecuted so violently for such things as seemed to my selfe & others so triviall & upon great outcryes as if the oppression had beene unparaleld & when all things was searched to the bottome noth- ing of moment was proved against me, worthy of mention in a Court, but what I have here expressed, & yet no other way left me for helpe, things being carryed so highly against me by one party, as I had it by good infor- mations, but by casting my selfe upon the favo'' or mercy of the Court, as some had counselled me though since I thinke they have had cause to be preived for as well as I, because it had an effect contrary [217.] to expec- tation, that the meanes w^'^ should have p'cur the more cleniency was by some made an argum' of my greater guilt, if this should convince me of the equity & honesty of such mens moderation, w^'^ delight to turne things not to the best but worst sence, the Lord helpe me to see that w<='' yet I have not done & was not the way to bow & melt my heart, but rather provoake it to cry more earnestly to God to doe me right in such a case, I confesse still as I did then & as I have said before, that the newnes & straingnes of the thing, to be brought forth into an open Court as a publique malefactor, was both a shame & an amazem*' to me. It was the greife of my soule (& I desire it may ever so be in a greater measure) that any act of mine (though not justly but by misconstruction) should be an occasion of scandall to the Gos- pell & pfession of the Lord Jesus, or that my selfe should be looked at as one that had brought any just dishono'" to God, (w-^^ I have endeavo-ed long & according to my weake abilitie desired to p^'vent) though God hath beene pleased for causes best knowne to himselfe to deny me such a blessing, and if- it had beene in my owne power I should rather have chosen to have prished in my cradle then to have lived to such a time, but the good pleas- ure of God is to keepe me low in my owne eyes as well as in the eyes of others, as also to make me humble & penitent, least such mercyes should have lifted me up, above what is meete, yet I doe say still as I have often done before, that those things for w^'^ I was questioned (in the best appre- hension guided by God's word, that I had then or have since attained to) did deserve no such proceedings as was carved out to me, though some blew up those sparkes into a great flame, & I am not alone herein, though it was my owne case, but many [218.] wise & godly servants of the Lord, as well as div's oth"* were & stil! are of the same minde, yea some that were then much against me have confessed since to me, that things were carryed in a hurre. Yea & o'' owne Church, when they called all those complaints over againe, that was layd to my charge (as it was meete the should) to see how farr there was equitie in them & how farr I was guilty of all those claymo™ & rumo''^ that then I lay under, they heard my defence equally & patiently & after all there exquisite search into them & attention to what others could alleadge or prove against me, they found no cause but only to give me an admonition & lesse they could not doe, without some offence, considering what had past in Court before against me, now if y'' church had scene or apprehended, or could have proved that I had beene so justly guilty as others imagined, they could have done no lesse, then have excomunicated & cast me out of there society & fellowship as an unworthy member. But it may be some will reply to this that my offences might be looked at with the same eye in the church as it was in the Court & that my penetency & godly or at least seeming sorrow might keepe off the churches censure though it would not the Courts. Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 35 It is true that in any thinge wherein I might justly take shame or sorrow to my selfe God inclyned my heart not to withstand it for he that hydes his sines shall not prosper, but he that confesseth & forsaketh them shall finde mercy, in many this wee sinne all & who can say his heart is cleane, yet for the chiefe of the things that was most urged against me in Court & for W^"^ the sentence past against me, as the gould buttons, the bridle, the nayles, the • falcyfying [i219.] of my booke I did justify & stand to maintaine that they was evident mistakes & that I was wronged about th** as that they were 8'^. nayles at lO'i p. lb & not G'^ that the buttons were gould & not copper & that they cost 2^ 2'^. 2'^ 2'^. p dozine in London sould here at 2** lO'i. p dozn & that there was no oppression in that prize, that though the figures in my booke were altered, yet it was not for any such ende as was p'^tended & urged against me, but .upon that very cause that before I have related, here I had no cause of penetency or confession of guilt except it was for that I had beene so used & reproached about them against all equitie, but if they should have cast me out of the Church 20 times for this I should have chosen it rather Then to have confessed my selfe guilty, for y'^ satisfaction of any, wherein I knew my selfe (better then any else did) to be innocent, though there was at the same time many in the church at this examination, that was of the Court & had there vote in my censure, that heard what my speeches were both in the Court & in the Church, vf'^'°- if there had beene any contra- dic5n, falcehood or contrary recantation in them I should have heard of it to my farther p'judice & yet I was more open & free in the Church in clearing the thing for w<='> I had suffered those troubles then I was in. the Court, I have beene the longer & more pticular in this relation to ease my owne oppressed spirit w<='' hath not beene a little burthened about this thing & to leave a testimony of my innocency, so farr as I was innocent to the world behinde me & how apprehensive I was & still am of the injury I then received therein, neither have I related nor left this testimony behinde me to censure or cast a reproach upon the whole Court, either upon all [230.] the Magistrates or all the Deputyes, for I am not ignorant how & by whome this was acted & carryed on principally & how many in the Court (both in there judgem't & argueing with strong reasons against the illegality of there proceedings) would have freed & acquitted me. I lay the blame only upon such whose selfe ends & private p''judice did cheifly act them in this worke, I speake this of & to brethren w<='' I know doe not iooke at all there acts & proceedings so p'fect but that mistakes & misapprehensions may breake in & p''vaile sometimes & yet may be carryed on like a mighty river, that no bankes can stay it, nor keepe it within bounds & therefore I hope none wilbe offended but attend at any time to reason & to the just defence that any greived or wronged broth"" shall make (seeing what was my case then may prove any of theres another time) when it is proposed in meek- enesse of spirit, for the clearing of themselves & there owne innocency & easing of the heaving burthens of there hearts, as I have done at this time & with as much moderation as I can for I know it is not lawfull to speake evill of dignityes nor to revile the rulers of the people nor to curse them in o"' hearts though they should be evill or doe evill to us, but labour to leave it patiently & & to comend all to God that judgeth righteously w<=i' I have en- deavo'ed to doe, yet I know that Pagans & Tyrants sometimes have admit- ted & mildly received & well interp'ted & taken in good part the just apol- ogies that some w<='^ have beene oppressed by them, have writt in theire owne defence, then those that are godly & Christian will doe it much more. Therefore I hope none will misconture my [221.] true meaning in this my will, nor drawe my expression by any agravations contrarj' to what I have intended herein & for my selfe I desire patiently to beare the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him. But it may be some will object that the whole Court joyned togeather in my censure, and therefore I could not btMooked at as innocent in the judge- ment of any of them. I cannot safely say that they all joyned in my censure, for some might be & I thinke were Newters & so'did not vote at all in it, neither doe I say that I was so innocent that I deserve noe reproof. But this I doe say that many in the Court stood to free me & endeavo''ed so to doe, but when that came to vote they had not number enough to carry it, then the question was what my 36 City Document No. 150. fyne should be, some flew high & named 1000^''. others mentioned 500"'. some againe would have had it but 30"*. or a lesse sum, others came to 80'". so when those that would have cleared me quite could not carry it for the least sume mentioned, yet they carryed it against the greater sumes, then when it came to vote againe they carryed it from the 500^''. proposers to those that had proposed SO"*. & that was not because they thought the complaint deserved so great a fyne but they did it to p''vent the greater fyne for had not those that would have freed me, concurred with them that voted for 80"'. then the other partie had carryed it for 500"'. It may be some may demaund how this can stand with a good conscience that I should keepe in memory such unkindnesses, as I have mentioned in this will so long & some of these p'judices are against Brethren & others to my dyeing day & whether these things had [222.] not better beene quite buryed & concealed & how I could with any comfort receive that blessed Sac- rament of Love & keepe comunion with such either publikly or privately of whose carrj'ages & actions I have such hard thoughts & how it will stand with that rule of Gods word, w'='' comands us to love the brethren, to doe good to them that hate us, to pray for them that persecute us, to forgive our enemyes & to overcome the evill with our goodnes. I answer & the rather because I desire to cleare my selfe from such of- fences & to satisfye such scruples as lye in my way & to give a reason of all my proceedings in these pticula'^ that I may doe things in faith & not out of a passionate & discontented spirit & that to satisfaction if it may be, for I desire to walke according to the rule of a good conscience in all things & not knowingly to allow my selfe in any evill way & if herein I should err it is for want of light & not against it Therefor I say There is many good & profitable uses to be made by remembring such actions of unkindness & other providences of God that have befallen us in our lives though friends or brethren have beene cheife instrum'*. therein & how God hath delivered us or stood by us in such tryalls & afterwards so this remembrance be not in mallice & wronge in our hearts. There may be just occasions, npt only to remember but to speake of them also, though I doe or have forgiven them. Our Savio'' remembers his disciples unkind forsaking of him & flying from him in so great a tyme of need & Peters unthankef uU denying & forswearing of them & not only speakes of it, but [223.] putts it upon record for all generations to take notice of, & yet he loved them, forgave them & kept comunion with them & so doth the Apostle Paul often, our Savio"" Christ who hath left himselfe an example, keeps in memory & records the unkind usage of many Citties & Townes & the injuryes that he received of his unthankfull countrymen to his dying day, so did the Prophets «& Apostle not only remember but speakes how they carryed it, both in there Courts & Counsells against them, the Scriptures are full of example, my Brethren the sones of my mother have smitten me, yet that did not hinder them from a loveing converse or private Comunion with them & a redinesse to doe them good as opportunity was offered, much lesse might such unkindnesses hinder there owne acceptable ptakeing of the Lords Supper, though they did as it were tye the hands of our Savio"" & his disciples or restrayne them from doeing so much good, in those places & to such psons as otherwise they would have done, Joseph forgetts not the unkindnes of his breth- ren to his death & speakes of it then & that without sine for ought I p'ceive by the Scriptures, Jacob in his last Will & Testament remembers & records the offences of his children & the injuryes of some of them against himselfe he blesseth some & sharply reproves others & seemes to be much p judiced against there actions & practise (though they were publique persons rather then private) & yet he loves them, kept comunion with them & no doubt had forgiven them Unkindnes & injurious offences may be mentioned, though a man hath in his owne heart either past them by or quite forgiven them & that to bring them to a sight of such evills by which they have so offended & greived another, w^'^ before they might [224:.] not so well consider, or had before more slightly past over, with lesse consideracon, that they may have occa- sion to call over such actions againe that they had forgott, that so if they find evill in them, they may now have the better opportunity to repent of them & to give satisfaction to those they have offended or wronged & to be the more Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 37 watchfull, that they may not deale so with oth" yea it is a question whether a Christian be bound or that God requires it at theirc hands fully to forgive & finally forget all sinful! unkindcsses or injuryes till the parties that have done the wronge doe see theire sine & say it repents them & seeke reconcilia- tion & forgivenes of them so it was with Joseph to his Brethren, & so our Savior Christ saith if our brother say it repents him then thou shall forgive him often, it is true if my enemy were in great extremity & I knew it & could helpe him I were bound to doe it & to doe good for there evill, yea to them that hate me as I desire to doe, yet there unkindnes may justly deprive them of a greater measure of bountie that might be intended towards them, then what is given to them for there necessitie, and though I should overcome evill with good, yet all a mans charitie is not to be limitted to them, when there be divers others that stand in as much need that have never given such offences & may be fitter objects of such fruites of love, as wilbe more thank- full to God & them for it, yea I thinke it is fitt that they should see they loose somewhat & fayre the worse for such carriages & misbehavio™ towards them that they [225.] should have shewed more respect & love unto, and th** much for satisfaction to all objections Now concerning my wives thirds w^i^ I have given hir to enjoy, for hir comfort & benefitt during hir naturall life, out of my housen lands & tene- ments when it shall please God to take hir out of this frayle & temporall life I doe dispose of the same in manner & forme following Item I give & bequeath the one half part thereof unto my sonn'e & heyre Major Benj amine Keayne to his owne proper use if he be then alive at his Mothers death, and the other halfe part of these thirds, w^^^ my wife enjoyed in hir lifetime I devide into two equall parts, the one of w^ii parts I give & bequeath to my sonnes daughter & my Grandchild Hannah Keayne or the full value thereof Item I give & bequeath the other halfe part of these thirds or the due value thereof (in case my executo'' should desire to keepe the land or housing to himselfe) unto Harvard Collidge at Cambridge in New England, to be imployed in the best way for the incorridgem' of learning either for the bet- ter helpe & releife of the poorer & godlier sort of schoir" or twards fellow- shipps as I have proposed in my foregoing gifts mentioned to that place & use according to the best advice & counsell of the President & Overseers or Feoffees of that Collidge that now are or then shalbe, they takeing in the advice & consent of my Execute'' & Overseers of this my will, that now are or that then shalbe liveing. And if it should please God that my son Benj amine K?ayne should d'ye before his mother, if he have any other children lawfully begotten of his body besides Hannah Keayne then my will is that those children shall enjoy & possesse as there owne all my right [220.] title & interest in & to that half e'''[3art of my wives thirds w<=''^ before I had bequeathed to himselfe in case he had lived, to be equally devided betweene them & to be improved to there best benefitt & advantage till they come of age to receive it into there owne hands, if he have but one child more then Hannah, then that one child to have it all, but if he should have no other child but Hannah Keayne then I give & bequeath that halfe part of my sones given to him out of my wives thirds unto the use & benefitt of the library in Boston if it be sett up & carryed on as I have before mentioned in this will I meane to buy fitt bookes for the increase of that library, but if it be not built & carryed on as I have before proposed then I give this legacy or halfe part unto the use & benefitt of the Collidg of Cambridge to be improved for the best benefitt thereof as I have expressed in my before mentioned legacies to the said place. My minde & will further is that whatsoev"" I have given in this my will to my Grandchild Hannah Keayne as hir legacy & portion, whether it be the first three hundred pounds or any other gift tliat may befall hir out of my estate by vertue of this my will may be so ordered & disposed that hir unworthy mother (sometimes the unnaturall & unhappy wife of my son, that proud & disobedient daughter in law to my selfe & wife) M™ Sarah Dudly now Sarah Pacye may have no part nor benefitt in or by what I have thus bestowed upon hir daughter, for it is not my Avill but directly against it, that she who hath walked so unworthely (that I may give it no worse termes) to us all, should have any releife or any thinge to maintaine hir in hir pride & contempt from 38 City Document No. 150. any thinge that ever was accounted mine, not that I would incourage the child to any rebellion [237.] stubborne or undutifuU carriage towards hir mother, for God may breake hir heart & give hir true & unfayned repentance for all hir former evill carriages & so may justly deserve pitty and compas- sion, if she should stand in need, if God should cast any other estate xipon hir, by hir father or grand mother, by a husband or otherwise, if the cliilds love & duty or the mothers necessitie & want should call for any such helpe or assistance fro hir, I shall not restrayne hir, but leave hir to hir owne libertie that way, But for any estate that I have give-n to Hannah Keayne (I yet seeing no change or unfayned repentance in hir mother) I doe here charge & require my son hir father & doe earnestly & hartily desire all my overseers that they would take care to see, as others so this part of my will fullfilled, that hir mother may have nothing to doe nor have any benefitt by any part of my estate, that I have given for the: comfort & support of hir daughter, that if hir mother should goe about or so farr p'vaile with hir daughter by hir insinuations or the daughter out of naturall pitty or respect to hir mother should be acting that way or that she should seeke to drawe hir in to be ingaged for hir before these legacies comes to hir hands, upon hope of receiveing these or paying any thinge out of them when they shall grow due & that Hannah refuse to harken to the counsell of hir father & my overseers herein but will follow hir owne or mothers minde heerein or those that shall advice hir that way contrary to this w^^' I have declared to be my will. Then my will is that all my legacies from tirst to last given & intended by me to Hannah Keayne in that case doe cease & become utterly voyd to any use or purpose as concerning hir, saveing what of it shalbe disbursed & layd out [228.] of it about hir maintenance & education during the time of hir minority, till she was capable by vertue of this my will to have received it into hir owne hands & what I have before so given to hir, I doe now give, if the same in the cases before mentioned, to hir father my son Benjamine Keayne & if he should be then dead, then to his other child, or if he have more then one, to them equally betweene them and in case he should have no other children but she, then I give it to the CoUidge at Cambridge in N. England for the best furthering of learning there as I have ordered in for- mer gifts to them, if she prove obstinate y'' in And my will further is concerning Hannah Keayne that she have no rela- tion to hir mother in respect of hir education & trayning up or any aboad with hir, or putting hir out to board or learning, but my desire is that hir father & grandmother may have the care of hir education & may either keepe hir themselves or rather put hir forth to some such jjlace where with the best care she may be trayned up in the f eare of God & hir spirit subdued & kept in from outward extravagancies & the profitt or benefitt of her legacies to be improved to discharge the cost of hir learning apparrell & dyet except hir father & grandmother wilbe at that charge as I have hitherto beene & then to let the improvement of hir legacy or legacies be kept for an increase of hir portion & added thereto, and in case hir grandmother should dye before she comes to years fit to receive hir portion & hir father should either be absent out of this country or dead, my desire is that my brother & sister Willson would take the care & charge of hir protection & education [229.] with themselves or elne to finde out some fitt place with the advice of my overseers to w*''^ she may be comended & that they would be as a father & moth'' to hir in theire care advice & counsell as for the good of hir soule so also to be a helpe & guid to hir in the choyce of a fitt match for hir, when she is capeable or inclyned to so great a change of hir condition, that the blessing of the Lord may goe along with it. It may be there is some other of my freinds or kindred or acquaint- ance that I might have expressed my love unto had they come into my memory & I have endeavoured what I can to forgett none, but being for- gotten I hope they will not be offended nor take it unkindly at my hands for I would not willingly forgett my relations nor show my selfe unthankful! to any to whome I am beholding for former curtesies or ingagem'^ reall There- fore my will is that if at any time or times hereafter within the space of Twelve moneths or two yeares at most after my decease any pson or psons whatsoever in old England or New by virtue or by reason of kine or consan- guinitie to me now not knowne or at least not remembered, may or can Will or Robert Keayne, 1G53. 39 clayme to have any lawfull intrest into or benefitt of any estate of mine by reason tliercof & doe lawfully produce & prove the same, then to such of them as shall so doe, my minde & will is that my Executo"" w*-* I shall here- after name shall pay unto the same pson [1^J50.] or psons so lawfully claym- ing any benefitt by reason as aforesaid the sume of ten sliillings a peece w^** I doe hereby give them to cutt off any furth'' clayme of in or to the estate of me the said Testaf and likewise my minde & will is, that if any of my said legatees shall not be contented with the legacies by me given to them, but shall by any meanes prove vexatious or troublesome to my executor my will is that they & ev'y one of them so molesting or vexing shall loose and forfeit there sev'all or respectful! legacies to the use of my executo'" Item I give & bequeath unto my loveing son Majo"^ Benjamine Keayne all the rest & residue of my estate whatsoever moveable or imoveable that I have or shall not bequeath in this will, as allso all those legacies bequeathed that that shall not be payd by the death or removeall of any of the legatees before the time of the legacies payable grow due or any overplus of my estate not disposed of, to the aforenamed Benjamine Keayne, Avhome I make ordain appointe & by these p''sents constitute to be my full & sole Executor of this my last will & Testam' & doe desire that all occasions of difference or discon- tent or falling out betwixt his mother & he may carefully be avoyded & that all things about my estate may be carryed on in love & sweete agreem' as betwixt a loveing mother & a dutifull son & that they lay no unnecessary burthens each upo the other, but that my son as a dutifull child may ease his mother in what he can & free hir from any distractions [^31.] in set- tling that part of my estate beqtieathed to hir as it may be to hir best ease supply & comfort dureing hir life, and with all expedition to gather in my debts w<=* at my death shalbe due unto me (w'='^ are a considerable part of my estate) & to take a just Inventory & valuation of all things that I shall leave behinde me & ev'y thing that is sould to be putt away to the best advan- tage so that my legacies may neither be unpayd nor curtayled contrary to my true intent, there appearing sufiicient estate to do§ it if well ordered & improved & for that ende have given two yeares time & some more for the doeing of it, because I know it cannot well be comfortably p'formed Avithout some hazard or dainger to my estate in a shorter time, And as a goode helpe hereunto I advice that my shop bookes, debt bookes & all my books of accounte may careftilly be looked up, kept togeth' & dilligently p'used, seeing that allmost ev'ything w*^'^ belongs to my estate is by my self e comitted to writing in one booke or other, either in my Daybook of what I buy or sell, or in my debt booke of w<=" there is cheifly Three in use namely one bound in Browne Vellam w'^'^ I call Vellam Debt booke, the other bound in thin Parchm' •w'='> I call the new Debt booke, the third is bound in white Vellam w" I keepe constantly in my closet at Boston & is called my booke of credito'' & Debito'' in w<>-> is the sume of most of my accounts contracted where in there is accounts betweene my selfe &, others w"' y'^ accounts ballanced on either side as also an acco" of my adventures by shipping with there returnes [232.] as also an an acco" of what debts I owe & how farr they are dis- charged, There is also in my closet a long paper booke bound in white Parchm' w<='i I call my Inventory booke in w'^'' I doe yearly (comonly) cast up my whole estate & is a breviat of my whole estate from ycare to yeare & shewes how the Lord is pleased eith"" to increase or decrease my estate fro yeare to yeare w'='' wilbe of speciall use & concernm' to my Executo*^^ & Overseers to direct them in theire proceedings about my estate, there being in it the valuation of my estate fro time to time except houshold stuffe movable goods & such & wherein & in what the cheife p' of my estate lyes in w<='' booke you will finde a pticular acco" of what debts I owe my selfe to any at the time of my casting up, as also what was at that time owing to me, from others & by whome w* I use to drawe breifly out of all my other debt bookes into that, as also an acco" of such debts as I acco" desperate or doubtfuU, w<='' I place by themselves & doe make them no part of my estate though some of them wilbe gott in & what debts I acco" good either in Old England or New whether by booke of Bill, w'^'i debts by bills under the Dcbiters hands you shall find, all or the most of them in a Boxe to- geather, in my Cabinet, w^^'^ stands in my closet at Boston in the midle or biggest Boxe therein, some other Bills & acco"^ are in my Leath'' Letter case w'^'' comonly lyes upon my table in that closet. 40 City Document No. 150.

There is a pticul"" acco" of all my Cattle & other things & what increase comes of them from yeare to yeare, what of them I sell away or kill for my owne use, as also what of them dyes by causalty or are lost by the wolves, & how many remaines of all sorts ev'y yeare with there ages prizes & worth taken ev'y spring or beginning of the New yeare by Av^ti you will see what liveing Cattle I have, of oxen, Cowes, Calves, horses, swine & in whose hands they are to require them, these with the Inventory booke of my estate before mentioned will be a good direction & great help to you when you come to take an Inventory of my estate & to value the pticul'^ thereof in w'^^ also I doe use to sett downe the value of the Cattle at lesse then they are worth & then they would yeald if I were to sell them or to putt them off one by one, there is also the pticul'^ of my ffarme & the value of it. "Will or Robeet Keatne, 1653. 41 There is also at my ffarme a long paper booke bound in parchment, such a one as my Inventory booke in my closet at Boston w''' I mentioned before, W^^ booke I comonly keepe in that roome at my ffarme w'=h I keepe locked up for my owne use, in w*^^ is the pticul" of the charges & profitts that I make of my ffarme ev'y yeare with an acco" of the Corne & Apples & Butter & Cheese that is made & where they are with some debts therein due to me & some other acco"^ to be Kept & pused There is at my ffarme also many printed books both [236.] great & smale, Divinitie, Hystory, Millitary bookes & that I made use of there & some writ- ten Sermon bookes both in my Closet & Chamber there. There is also some Plate as a Silver Porringer, a Sacke Bowie, a silver hot water cup, 3 silver spoones y' were kept for our owne use there, in a little boxe in my closet, there is also in my standidge at the ffarme w* hath a locke & a key to it, some silver & peage in one of the private or secreet boxes of the same & this I keepe in my closet there & these things are besides all the bedding sheets linnen houshould stuffe dary vessells carts &"=. There is also at Boston a long paper booke bound in parchm' & kept in the closet there w^"^ is called a Receipt booke of moneyes that I have payd fr5 time to time, especially when they come home to receive there money, not that wee take receipts for all wee pay in that booke. Sometimes I take receipts upon the bill of acco" as also for moneyes payd abroad, wee take them in papers & keepe them upo fyles. This booke is carefully to be kept as well as those pap" that are fyled up, because it may cleare some things as doubts or objections that may come about debts long since that have beene payd by me, had this booke beene lost I had beene in great danger to have payd 200^''. twice over, w<=h j have mentioned before in this will, but that after long search, amongst many bookes & papers I found the receipt of it in this booke, being before utterly denyed that it was ever payd There is another booke upon the table in my closet at Boston bound in Leather in Octavo w^i^ I call my pocket booke w<='' is carefully to be p'served [237.] & pused, in w'^^ is a pticul"" acco" of my dayly or weekely expences & charges for Dyett, Apparell, housekeeping •w'^^ is sumed up every weeke from yeare to yeare & Avhat ev'y weekes charge amounts too, w<='* will give light to many things, as what is payd to bakers butchers shops carting of wood rates & div'^ such charges, to sev'all psons possibly some of w<='^ may be demaunded againe when I am dead, w'^^ this booke compared with there owne acco"^ in my debt booke will easily cleare, And if any debt should be demaunded of my executo"^' w<=*> I have not made my selfe debf for in some of my acco" bookes or charged in that Inventory booke, except it should be some debt that hath beene made since the time of the last casting up of my estate, it may be justly suspected & the truth of it to be questioned for I am as carefull to charge my selfe with what I owe, as what is owing to me & usually once a yeare I draw out in a sheete of paper (w<='i you may finde amongst other loose sheets of acco" in my closet at Boston) all the debts that I can call to minde that I owe to any man, that so I may take care to pay them & in this drawing them out of my other bookes I place them altogeather in these yearely pap™. There is 2 other bookes bound up in Vellam in my Closet at Boston w* I call Number bookes w* were of use when I kept shop in London & here but are not now as you may see by the date & things contained in them of any use now, you will meete with some other old Debt bookes as one at the ffarme bound in Leather in follio & others [238.] there & at home in parchm' in which you will finde many debts stand uncrost w'^'' I suppose by the Alphabets or in the margent against these debts you will find them posted or transferred into other debt bookes of a later date as the three debt bookes first mentioned except they be such debts that I have little hope to get in you will also finde in my closet at Boston a paper booke bound up in vellam of quarto w* was sent me from London by my son M''. Gray & my brother Jupe who had the care of receiveing the rents of the 3 children of my sister so long as the leases lasted, who was sub executo'' to my sisters will in my steed, w='i booke containes only the acco*'* belonging to the 3 children Anthony Mary & Benjamine Jupe in •w'^'^ is mentioned what money they have received in England ever since my sisters death, what they have layd out of it for the Lords q.uite rents, towards repaireing the houses & 42 City Document No. 150. other charges there & what they have sent over to me of it towards the charge of there maintenance here, W^^ is needfull to have it safe kept, though there be the lesse use of it now because I have reckoned with Anthony & Mary Jupe & gave them an acco" of what I had received & layd out for them, w"^^ acco" was examined & pused by 2 or 3 friends on the childrens choyce & behalfe & I have received genn'all releases & discharges from them, w<='^ are amongst my bills in my Cabinet & in another boxe that my Cabinet stands upon, there is only now Benjamine to reckon withall when he comes to age, but he will owe me more then his brother or sister for by reason of his lamenes & continuall sicknes I was at greaf charg with him then Avith either of tiiem haveing [239.] layd out 60 or 70"'. for him more then I received till his legacyes & rents given him by his Uncle Jupe came to be due to him, as you may see in his acco"in the Vellam debt booke. There is also in my closet at Boston a long wliite Boxe upon w* my Cabenet stands, w'^'^ is full of acco"^ reckonings & releases betweene me & oth™ with some bills & bonds & receipts for purchase of lands & other things of long standing w'='* I have allwayes carefully kept by me, to have recourse too when there hath beene need of clearing things done or payd long since w<^'' sometimes I have had speciall occasion to search over & so may you possibly if any thing should be brought into question of such kinds when I am dead, all w'='^ bookes & acco"' & writings I mention in this my will the more pticularly that my executo'' especially & my Overseers may call for them, finde them all out & take speciall care for the safe keeping of them & to puse them dilligently, for if any one of them should be lost or conveyed away you would be at a great losse & much to seeke in my acco"^ & may prove a great losse to my estate, and of the like use are many other written papers & bookes in my closet there, in loose sheets together & therefor to be p'used & kept, some of w<='^ though they be evened & quite discharged long agoe & crost yet I keepe them by me tlaat if any wrangling pson p''tending ignorance should call things to an acco" againe as some have done by haveing recourse to those bookes & papers, I can shew them when & how & in what it was dis- charged & evened therefore very few of those papers are to be neglected or cast by, as if they were kept for no use at all. £240.] And when all these bookes & writings (not only of debts & acco'"* & worldly busines) but also of divinity sermon bocJxes & some of Millitary discipline & exercise & of Marchandize & divers other occasions w<=h I have writt with my owne hand & divers other Avritings w<=^^ are not now extant besides all that I have read & done while I kept shop & since with the care & toyle of my ffarme, if all these should be of no other use 5^et they will testifye to the world on my behalfe that I have not lived an idle lazie or dronish life nor spent my time wantonly fruitlessely or in company keeping as some have beene too ready to asperse me or that I have had in my whole time either in Old England or New, many spare houres to spend unprofitably away or to refresh myselfe with recreations except reading & writing hath beene a recreation to me w'='^ sometimes is mixt with paine & labo'' enough, but have rather studyed & endeavored to redeeme my time as a thing most deare & precyous to me & have often denyed myselfe in such refreshings that otherwise I might lawfully have made use of and therefore it were well if man were lesse censorious of other mens lives & actions & more watchful! over there owne, least they speake evill out of some private grudge of things they know not, and happy yea more happy would it have beene for me if I had beene as carefuU & as exact in keeping an account of my sinnes & the debts that I owe to God & of that spirituall estate betweene God & my owne soule & that I could us easily have made it appeare to others or to my selfe when I gained [241.] or when I lost & to have taken as much paines this way as in the other, w<=h though I cannot truely say I have altogeather neglected or omitted, yet comparatively I may justly say I have beene greatly deficient in that one thing necessary But I hope the Lord in mercy will not impute it but freely pdon all my neglegences this way in the Lord Jesus Christ & for his sake only. And because it may possibly fall out that my son who is my executo'' may be out of this country (as now he is) at the time of my death, therefore if it should so prove my desire is that my loveing brother M^ John Willson Pasto' of Boston would be pleased to stand in my sons roome as his substitute or to Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 43 desire my Cozine M^ Edvrard Eawson Secretary or Leinel Johnson our Deacon or some other sufficient godly able man that he shall appoint or ajiprove of to be Assistant to my loveing wife M™. Anne Keayne & to transact all the busines of an Executo'' till my son may be sent for & come in person to take charge of it himselfe, w<='' service I did willingly p'forme for my Brother Willson when his Brother Doctor Willson dyed himselfe being in this country, for w<='i kindnesse not only my selfe but my sonne & wife (I doubt not) will acknowledge there thankefullnes & if it should please God that my sonne should be dead before or dye in coming for so it may possibly fall out then my will & appointment is that my loveing wife should be sole executrix of this my last will & Testament dureing the time of hir widdow- hoode & no longer, and to see all [242.] things pformed herein according to my intent & hir uttermost abillity, with the assistance & advice of my Brother Willson (as before I have expressed) whose helpe & faithfullnes herein I much depend upon to see all things carryed on right & straight as also by the helpe of the rest of my Overseers or the greatest part of them And my desire & charge is to my Executo'' & my wife in case she should be, or otherwise so farr as in hir lyeth, that they be faithfull & punctuall in the discharge of this my will to the uttermost of theire abillities & to p''vent all objections of the state falling short or that I have given away more then my estate wilbe able to make good for I would not willingly have none that I bequeath any thing unto if they be alive or in this countrey when there leg- acies grow due nor any publique use that I have given ought too to be defrauded or disapoynted of it, contrary to my true intent upon any seeming pi'tences as it is usuall with many executo"^* to the great dishono'' of those that have betrusted them w*'' there estates & there owne too, for some private profitts or endes of there owne except it should manifestly & clearely appeare to my overseers cheifely or any other honest & understanding men that it is not fraud but some cleare & apparent losse that is befallen my estate either by desperate debts w<=h before I accounted good, by losse at sea or fyre, or by fall of Cattle land or other Comodities in the Country or some other unexpected providence or chainge of things here not yet foreseene, betweene the time of my makeing this will & my death or before my legacies are to be pformed . Therefore my will is, if some such losse should come [243.] of it to no considerable value, that my Executo should beare it out of his part, if the overpuls of my estate not bequeathed should not doe it, though he have somewhat the lesse for himselfe, except his owne part & legacies fall short also by some such considerable losse. But if there should be any such manifest chainge & losse in my estate then my will is that all my legacies should beare a proportionable share in that losse by way of abatement as they are payd or by the omitting wholly of such gifts as are to some pub- lique uses, w'^'' shalbe judged by my Executo'' & overseers to be of least concernment & may best be spared, for if I had found my estate to be lesse than I esteemed it to be, I should have given lesse both to my Executor & in other giftes & legacies and howsoev'r my opinion & judgem' hath beene & still is not only before God had blessed me with a large & comfortable estate, but since also that in point of disposeing a mans outward estate especially if it were of any value & his children not very numerous I looke at it as a great oversight & evill to give all or the most part of a large estate only to wife & children to make them great or rich in the world & to leave little or nothing to freinds or to any publique or charitable use though there be great occasion & necessityes of it & some poore afflicted Josephs that cry for helpe ffor as it is the Lord out of his free bountie that gives us our estates be they more or lesse (for it is not our owne hands dilligence or wisedome but his blessing only that makes rich) so he may justly challenge a part & interest in the same, as also the Comon- wealth or place where wee live & where wee have got more or lesse of that estate is also to be considered [244.] I thinke wife & children ought to have so much as whereby they may be enabled to live comfortably to be p''served from outward streights & snares proportionable to that estate that God hath bestowed upon the husband or parents for I doe not thinke that oth''^ should be eased & they greived & streighten or that they should be forgott when others are remembred for God 44 City Document No. 150. appoints wee should first provide for our owne family with a wise & carefully hand therein according to the love respect & dutifull carriage of wife & chil- dren & the hopes they give of a stayed & gratious conversation (still remem- bring y' God & the country should come in for a childs part in our estates also in some reasonable proportion suteable to the extent thereof, least the Lord blast & take away all from those to whome it is given) and as I thinke dutifull & loveing wives & children should be taken care of in the first place before oth"* & comfortably provided for, so I thinke all is too much that is given to vexatious prodigall imperious wives or rebellious undutifull & spendthrift childre Therefore my care hath beene in makeing this my will with the best wisedome & understanding that God hath bestowed upon me so to provide that I may not wrong my sonne (haveing but one child & one that I doe love & have cause tenderly to respect) nor my wife selfe nor legatees but so to give that all may be p'formed without just cause of complaint p''judice or losse to any, neither would I make a great show of gifts to freinds & to publique & charitable uses & pforme little or nothing if God himselfe dis- appoint not, least some should approach me with an affectation & vaine glory (w"^'' how it can justly be imputed to me seeing those things are to be pformed when I am dead & in my [i24:t>.] grave & therefore not capa- ble of being puft up with pride or -outward applause I see not for what good will the praises of men doe to me when I am not) and considering also that neither man nor women now liveing hath neither seene or read this will or any one lyne of it that I know of or of my former will made 4 or 5 yeares before this, neither have I made knowne what my purpose or intent is this way or what I have done herein to any man liveing that they should trumpet out my praise before hand, but have kept all private in my owne breast & have done or desire to doe that w""^ God alone hath inclyned my heart unto & had I made my purposes herein knowne 1 doubt not but I should have mett with discouragem"^^ enough & with advice & psuasions to alter many things herein & yet padventure at the last I shall not want reproaches from some of want of discretion, if not worse for what I have done though I ayme at good in all & if they should I suppose there reproaches will not much hurt me. But if I did not see & beleeve that there is sufficient in my estate to discharge all that I have given away & to spare with some addition to my sonne over & above his third part accord- ing to my best judgem' & valuation I would judge myselfe of folly & indis- ■ erection & would p'"sently alter it, but I am very much deceived in my account & the estimate of my estate if besides '" that I have given away there be not a liberall provision made both for my wife & my son to live comfortably upon yea & to my son a good deale above a third part [24G.] of my whole estate especially when God shall please to take away his mother & hir thirds returne back againe to him or so much of it as I have appointed in this will before, else I must needs say I have shewed little care 6 wisedome therein, yea & doe hereby declare it to be quite contrary to my true intent & will in that particular, as to put my executo'' or wife to all the care paines cost & trouble in looking too & selling or putting off my estate & paying to eve'y one else there legacies & themselves to be at last deceived or disappointed of there due, or that others should be fully payd there leg- acies & those w<=h both in nature & Religion I doe & ought to esteeme most should fall short in theres or be forced to take it in the Avorst or most unvendable part of my estate & oth y' to me are but straingers in com- parison (though I looke at them as loveing & christian freinds) should be payd first or in the best of what I have. Therefore to cleare all things & to make my intentions as plaine as I can (not haveing fully expressed it before as I remember) for there is but only one difl[ic\ilty that remaines Avith me cheifely & how I shall gitt over it & carry all things even betweene my executo"' & legacies, that all things may be pformed rightly according to my desire I yet know not, Avithout some wrong as it may fall out to my executo"' if it be not Avell ordered except I have the care & counsell of my overseers & there best indeavo''^ & directio to helpe hime therein av<=*" I earnestly desire fro [347. | them all, my full meaning is this, Avhen my ffunerall charges & debts (w^'^ I hope then will not be many for at this time they are but very little exceeding one hundred pounds if so Will of Egbert Keayne, 1653. 45 much) are payd or so much set apart or accounted for out of my estate as will pay them (or else the rest cannot properly be called a greate estate if any debts lye upon it unprovided for) w'^'^ done I appoint the remainder wlien inventoryed & valued as equally as may be to be devided I meane in the acco" or calculation into 3 equall p'' w°h according to my best judgem' & valuation «& as I found it at the last casting up & settling of my estate w'^'^ was done this spring One thousand sixe hundred fivefty and three, the debts that my selfe owed either in Old England or New, my desperate or doubtfuU debts beng left out & not brought into the acco" of my estate as you may see in th t long booke called the Inventory Booke of my estate in Anno 1653 after w<='i I began to make this will altering many things in my former will, I say as in that booke you may see that I found my cleare estate to be worth f oure thousand pounds or there about & I thinke I have overvalued nothing, yea in many things I know I could make much more of them, if I were now to sell them, though possiby & may be a little [24:8.] mistaken in some other things, yet I conceive one thinge compared with another .all will amount to my valuation, if not exceede it. Now this estate as I said before I would have devided into three parts, the one third part thereof let it come to more or lesse in value I give to my executo'' Major Benjamine Keayne both in lands & goods, the second third part of my estate be it a thousand pound or more I take wholy to my selfe, to be at my owne disposing & to give the same away wholy amongst my freinds & for publique & plus uses in w'^'^ as I said before that God & the Country & my owne part lyes, out of w^'^ I have given away by this will in certaine legacies besides the accidentall onea that may happen about a thousand & two hundred pounds as I cast it up w''s for ought I see my estate will well beare without wronging either my exec- utor or my wife or offering any unkindnes to them & if I thought that either of them should apprehend otherwise I would not have done for them nor provided so liberally on there behalfe as I have done for I know what power I have to dispose of my owne estate & if theire parts should have proved f arr lesse I thinke they ought to have beene contented, therefore I hope they will not dislike nor be offended at what I have given away to others nor thinke I have beene to profuse, except some of those uses that I have [249.] given to may be thought to be lesse necessary or better have beene spared then given to, though I was not of that minde when I did it Now there yet remaines one third part of my estate cleare or within, a smale matter, out of ■wch my -wife is to be provided for, unto whome I have given the third part of all my lands housing tenem'' namely the profltts of them, to improve & enjoye to hir best benefitt & use as long as she lives which I doubt not will afford a larg & comfortable liveing to hir & some overplus above hir expences to lay up ev'y yeare whereby she may have some what to distribute amongst hir friends when she dyes, which thirds how much soev' it proves, when the Lord shall be pleased to remove hir out of this world I have given the one halfe thereof to my sonne & hiyre Benjamine Keayne, the other halfe of it I have equally devided betweene my Grand child Hannah Keayne & the Collidge at Cambridge, in case my son should have no other children, as legacies of ray love to them above what else I had given to, given to, them by w'='> acco** it may easily appeare that I have taken care for my wife & son & that though I have given away much in gifts as well to them as to others, yet I have not given away to the full latitude of the remains part of my estate, much lesse above it or beyond it [250.] if I had not much mis- taken. Now haveing given this account of the equity of my proceedings in this will of mine & in the disposing of that estate w* the Lord in goodnes hath beene pleased to bestow upon me & as I am bound both by grace & nature first to provide for my owne viz* for those that are nearest to me (as I have said before) & then for those that are further off. Therefore my will is that my son may first take his third part out of my lands, housen, cattle, money, plate, or any sort of houshould stuffe, or any other goods that he best likes of according to the value given to him, he allowing as much in account for them as any other man would give for the same if they were to buy them, then next my wife who is to have hir third part, in lands & tenem'^ & if she desire to have a Cow or two, a peece of plate or two, or any other part of the houshould stuffe, besides what I have 46 City Document No. 150. given hir as a legacy (& hir owne peculiar wearing apparell, which I thinke is not equall to be valued or brought into the Inventory of my estate, nor Hannah Keaynes neither) I desire that she may have it she giveing as much as otherj would doe for the same & paying for it either to some of those that I have given legacies unto or else by takeing so much lesse (as that she desires to buy will come too) in hir land & housing with this consideration & allowance, that may equallise the difference betweene lands & goods, the land being all to be returned at liir death, but the goods so bought wilbe hir owne to dispose of as she pleaseth without returning them back againe that so my estate [251.] may receive no losse that way or if any other or jus way can be tliought of betweene my overseers & she I shall leave it to them. Next that w'^'^ shalbe judged most fitt to be set apart for what I have given to Hannah Keayne for hir portion & to be kept either in hir fath hands if he desire it, or to any other or other way that it may be best im- proved to hir advantage according to my will & this to be taken out of such part of my estate cattle or goods as may be most usefull to make hir pay good Next to hirs, the legacies that I have given to my cousine Mary Mosse & Anthony & Benjamine Jupe hir brothers that they may be set apart & provided for accoi'ding to ray Avill Next to them that my broth'' & sister Willson with theire children as I have mentioned in my will may be taken care of Next or indeed next after Hannah Keayne I desire my executor would as soone as with conveniency he can take care to pay my loveing friends that I have sequestred to be overseers of this my will to there content, unto whome not only my selfe sonne & wife shalbe most behoulding to for theire paines & care they wilbe putt unto but all others that have gifts & legacies bequeathed unto them in this will Now these things p'"missed the difficultie that I know not well how to get over w='^ I spake ok before & which I desire may wisely be taken care of by my overseers & provided against is this, I suppos all my good debts my cattle houshould stuffe & moveables or the best & most vendable parts of them Avill but pay (or but little over) the legacies & gifts that I have given away & then there will remaine not much more then my housing at Boston my ffarme & some other lands to my son & wife Now if he should pay all my liveing stocke away in legacies, the fParme ■ wilbe disinabled & unprovided in stocke & so the more unfitt to let out, if he should pay away all the houshould stuffe & moveables, then my housing would be left naked & he little to live upon but a dead stocke & so through necessitie be forced to put away some of my land or part of my housing at an under value for his owne supply & maintenance.

Howsoev' I have made choyce of wise skillfull & godly overseers that wiibe able to direct him herein, unto whome my ear- nest request & desire is that they would be pleased to consider advice & assist my son & wife according to the best of theire judgm'* & aprehentions how to accomplish my will in that manner that theire estates may be P'served & not spoyled or suncke in the discharge hereof for it is meete that what I have given & doe intend for them may not be lesned nor deminished,' though legacies & gifts should abate somewhat if there should be just occas- ion W^'' now cannot be forseene and provided for at so large a distance, not knowing what may happen or fall out at such a time Now haveing thus cleared my intentions plainely & really in all things as farr as I can remember w<='» hath occasioned my will to be farr larger then I either intended or desired, there are 2 or 3 objections w<='i doth lye in the way w*''' being answered or removed I shall draw to an ende for I desire in this my will to give an account [355.] of my actions & endeavo"" to remove all jelousies as neare as I can, these being as it were my last words that will live to speake for me when I am dead & in my grave, and God may be pleased so farr to blesse something or other that I have had occasion to expresse in this will, that such which have taken libertie to load me with divers reproaches & long to lay me under a darke cloude may have cause to see that they have done amisse & now to be sorry for it though they have not beene so before The objections are these Ffirst if I value my estate to be worth 4000"' or thereabouts, how could I get such an estate with a good conscience or without oppression in my call- ing, seeing it is knowne to some that I had no portion from my parents or freinds to begin the world w"^al w^'^ if none did knoAV of I am bound to acknowledge that all may be attributed to the free mercy & kindnes of God alone who raiseth up & puUeth downe as he pleaseth so that when I call to roinde my first beginning or my first goeing to London I may with old Jacob thankefully say with my staffe came I over this Jordan & now the Lord hath given me two bunds To w<='i I answere I have now traded for myselfe about 40 or 50 yeares & through Ihe favo"' of God though I had very little at first to begin with yet I had good creditt & good esteeme & respect in the place where I lived [2.56.] soe that I did ever drive a great trade not only since I came hither but especially in England Now to gett 4000"'. in 40 or 50 yeares is not lOO"*. a yeare cleare gaines one yeare with another w<=h -^^gg account to be no great matter in driving but a smale trade by an industrious & provident man especially where there is no great trusting of chapmen or giveing of creditt w<^h usually is subject to great hazards & losses & a tradsman or marchant that hath a full trade may gett a lOO't". a yeare above his expences & a great deale more very honestly without hurting his owne conscience or wronging those that he deales with at all Since I came into New England, it is well knowne to some that I brought over with me two or 3000"'. in good estate of my owne & I have beene here in a way of trade & marchandize besides ffarming now this 18 yeares & he that hath a stocke of his owne of 2 or 3000"'. to manage in a way of trade I thinke he may very lawfully & honestly gett 200^''. a yeare by it cleare if his expences be not very great & large, and yet with turning & managing this stocke of my owne (besides what goodes have beene sent me fro England by other men to a considerable value fro time to time) I have not cleared 48 City Document No. 150. neare 100"' a yeare above my expences since I came hither -W^ is not 5't'. p cent cleare gaines & yet I have beene [257.] no p'digall spender as I have beene no niggardly sparer in things needfuU, as tlie acco" of my dayly & weekely expences vfill testifie for me when those booltes come to be viewed over, whether I have relation to my expences in Old England or since I came hither, for though I have undergone many censures since I came hither according to mens uncliaritable & various apprehentions some looking at me as an opresser in trading & getting unconscionably by what I sould & others as covetous & niggardly in housekeeping & not so liberall & bountiful! as I should be (w'='^ how those two contraryes can justly be charged upon me & yet have increased my estate noe more in so long a time I yet see not) except it be by such as care not what they say of other men though never so false so they may lay others under reproach & magnifie themselves & theire wayes by disgracing of others but it is nothing for me to be judged of men, I have laboured to beare it with patience & to approve my heart & wayes to God that judgeth righteously yet these things hath made me the more willing to cleare myselfe in all matteriall things in this my last testam' though it be somewhat contrary to the nature of a will yet I am willing to leave this upon publique record as a just defence for my selfe knowing that a will wilbe read & made knowne & may be pused searched or coppied out by any when other writings wilbe more hid & obscured [25S.] And then let not my words only but my reall actions beare wittnes for me or against me in the hearts of all that are willing to judge indiffer- ently & w"'out p'judice, whether I have justly deserved what here I hav e undergon, either by words, or actions the whole passages of my life in all my dealings since I was a Prentice, being to be found in one booke or another written Avith my owne hand & upon one occasion or another w<='' though before hath beene kept secreet to myselfe yet now wilbe exposed to the view of others & there censure when they wilbe p'used after my death. But some may further object if I doe value my estate at so much as before mentioned how could I deale honestly in suffering myselfe to be valued in rates to the Country but after a lOOQi''. estate at most or some times lesse. To w^h I answer first that I doe not thinke a man is bound in conscience to make knowne his whole estate & suifer himselfe to be valued to the utter- most extent thereof, if he can honestly p'"vent it, it is not so in any nation in the world that I have heard or read of (except in case of great extrem- itie by an enemy in the Country or at the walls when all is in hazard to be lost) but quite contrary. In England I have knowne Knights, Aldermen, Marchants worth many thousands & have had lands worth some hundred pounds a yeare knowne, & yet to subsides & publique [250.] charges are not valued at halfe theire estates & many reasons may be given why it should not be otherwise. I know myselfe & others here pay more to rates & publique charges yearely then-those that are 3 times of my estate in England in 4 or 5 yeares, what charges they are at now is not the question nor to be proj)Ounded as an example to us, because our condition & theres is not alike, but for my selfe all the while 1 stayed in England I was never rated but after 3"". Goods & at last 4'''. to any subside & yet sometimes wee had not a subside in 8 or 10 yeares graunted & here wee are rated every yeare & in some one yeare I have payd neare 20^''. to country rates. Therefore though some may judge tliat mens estates are undervalued every one seekeing to ease themselves & lay the burthen upon others, 3'et rates did rise so high upon the pound & came so fast about that men may be truly said in that respect to be rated above & beyond there estates for When my estate was taken as others were I could not say upon safe & just grounds that it was never so much as now it is being much in debt my selfe (wt='' now through great mercy I have well overcome & discharged) & haveing many debts owing to me, both in Old England & New, the most of which might have miscarryed as [260. ] some hath done, besides some adventures I had at sea of a considerable value w*^** none can recken as a sure & safe estate till God brings backe the returnes as wee finde by sad ex- perience & losse. Will of Robert Keayne, 1653. 49 Lastly the most part of my estate now lyes in my ffarme, in cattle houses & household stuffe w"='' is rateing are never valued to the uttermost worth to no man (Household stuffe not at all, seeing that turnes to no profitt but are impayred by dayly use) & for houseing there would appeare some kinde of injustice & inequallity if they should be rated high being cheifly for entertainem' drawing charges by the accomodating of oth^'^ as also are chargeable to keepe in repaire & are but harbors for themselves & oth". Now neith"" God nor any Christian state in pollicy would have their inhabi- tants crushed or weakened by continuall charge but soe that they may be nourished & p''served in a thriveing condition that they may live well & be still able to doe good in theire places, for the carrying on of publique charges besides now the Court hath taken up another & more equall way of rateing men & that is by there visible estates & an easy & equall impositio thereon as 1'^. in every 20*. they have in good estate (whereby no mans con- science is racked by questions & answ''* or by an injunction for every man to bring in a just account of the full value of [261.] his estate which hath proved a temptation to ma [to7~7i off'\ against which way I thinke none can justly except or complaine as I conceive except such as have no estate but what is visible & yet are much in debt & have nothing but y' vissible estate to pay it w"i & yett nothing is abated them for theire debts, then such are rated above there estates. But some possibly will object further what if some expressions in your will should prove offencive & some p^'tending exceptions (you haveing many enemyes that wilbe ready to take any advantage against you) should com- plaine to the Court against it where things may be so agravated out of pi'judice that some fyne may be procured & imposed upon you & so to take away part of that estate which you thinke you have left secure to your son wife & friends. I answer first I know no just cause of offence that I have given in any expressions herein that malice itselfe can take advantage of except they should be wrested contrary to my true intent & meaning & if any will doe so, no man can expresse himselfe so warely but some witts may make use of to a mans p'"judice & make that appeare to be evill which is good or harmeles in it selfe, as I have scene & knowne by many experiences & sad examples in my lifetime & that both for words & actions as many can remember as well as my selfe. I conf esse that I have knowne & scene such practises in Old England that when some cheife ones have had a desire to fish a way a part of a dyeing mans estate they have taken exceptions against his will or quarrelled either with some expressions or gifts mentioned therein to cast the farer glosse upon there corrupt practise & project though it could not be so [262.] hid, & many here knowes how deepely many have suffered, both in the starr Chamber & High Comissid Court for good actions & speeches interpreted quite contrary to the true meaning there of. But I hope that neither I nor mine shall live to see such practices creepe in or be countenanced in our Court doubtless the times would be straingly chainged if any such thinge should come to passe here that men should be made transgresso''^ for a harmeles word If any such thing sho\ild be urged & brought against me, to my p'judice, who or what will they fyne, I am gone & estate of my owne I have none left, no more then will bring me to my grave, I have given away all, if not more then all & if there were a just offence given by me, or not justly taken up by others, it were not just to take away any p* of the wives or childrcns portions, for the fathers or husbands offence, they being no wayes accessary to it. If there were any estate of mine left undisposed of upon w<=h a fyne might be layd, what will they doe with it if levyed, if it should be to grat- ify any private man, that would appeare too grosse, if for the publique or coinonwealth there might be some p^'tence if I had bequeathed nothing that way, but haveing given away so large a p'"^ of my estate to publique uses (so much that many a wiser man haveing such or a better estate then mine would not have given halfe so much from his wife children & friends as I have done, and possibly I shalbe reproached of folly by many I doubt not of some for this I have done) therefore [263.] in such a case it wilbe more 50 City Document No. 150. hono''able for the publique that my will should stand inviolable (tht will of the dead usually haveing beene held sacred) then for any man upon any p''tence to seeke by power to alter or infringe it Lastly though I feare no such thinge nor see any just cause or ground that any can have for such an apprehension, yet because I know not how straingly things may alter nor who may gett into places of power & author- itie betweene this & the time of my death, nor what p'tences corrupt or p'judiced men may make, therefore if any should be active this way & pro- mote any such complaint against me or my will when I am dead & gone & can neither answer nor suffer for my selfe, with any intent either to get any part of ray estate away if I had any left or any p'« of that estate w='' I have given away to my son wife or any other mentioned in this will, or slialbe troublesome or vexatious to my execute'" on p'tence of any fault or offence of mine & it be entertained or countenanced then my will is & I doe hereby declare it to be my will & full minde that all & every gift or legacy that is mentioned in this will to be layd out & disposed of for any generall or pub- lique use whether for Library Granere Armory Court house School e or Col- lidge Market House &". save only that hundred & twenty pound that I have given to the Schoole & poore in Boston & what other legacies that I have given to pticul"' freinds or psons all other gifts of the form"" publique nature, my will is that they shall [264.] utterly cease & become voyd & of no effect to the uses & behoofe, of the things & purposes before mentioned & shalbe disposed of as I shall hereafter appointe & mention.

And doe earnestly desire them all & beseech them to be assistant to my executor & wife, with there best ayde advice counsell & direction from time to time about the right disposing & best ordering of this my estate & to see my legacies disposed of according to my will as fast as things can be putt off & paym'" come in still with this respect that neither my executor wife not 52 City Document No. 150. grandchild may be wronged in there parts or portions but provided for in the first place as is before expressed [269.] And that mine overseers would have an eye & lookc after Hannah Keaync my Grandchild in respect of hir educa- tion & trayning up in the feare of God as well as also in respect of marriage if she live to such a condition & to be helpefuU to hir with there counsell & advice in such a choyce especialy if God should take away hir father or grandmother before & not to suffer hir to be drawne away by any such match as may apparantly tend to the hurt or overthrow of her soule or body but to hinder & make stop of any such motions to there utmost power. And my desire is that my overseers would have three or fower coppies of this my will writt out at my charge, or of the most matteriall parts of it (if they thinke the whole to bee too long or needles) to keepe alwayes by them to view & p'use upon any occasion when they meete togeather about it, or otherwise that they may the better take care to have the sev'all p'ticul'"'* y'' of p'formed, and the rather because some legacies herein mentioned will or may prove some what larg before they come to be accomplished & because there is some legacies that depend upon accidentall occasions, therefore if a few of them could be printed at no great charge I would thinke that the better way & then ev'y one that id' concerned in the will may have a coppie of the whole by him and what the greatest number of my overseers shall doe when they meete together about any advice or counsell for the best disposing or managing of what I have left behinde me to accomplish the true ends & intentions of this my will taking therein also the advice & consent of my executo'' [270.] in there meettings & consultations, that shall stand & be accounted good, yet I see not that it wilbe of absolute necessitie that ev'y one of my ov'seers should meet at all times or nothing can be carryed on though it would be very necessary that they would meete altogeather as often as ther shalbe any needful! occasion, and if any of these ov'seers should dye or remove out of the Country especially if the rest see a want of them, Then my Avill & desire is that the surviveing overseers with the advice & consent of my executor & my wife would make choyce of some other fltt one in theire roomes. And as a token of my love & thankef uUnes to them all for there foreseene care paines counsell faithfulnes I doe give & bequeath to each of them five pounds a peece in good pay to buy for ev'y one of them a piece of plate as a remembx-ance of my due respects unto them for that labo'' of love that I desire & expect fro them in this businesse betrusted with them after my decease In wittnes that all things contained in this my last will & Testam' is my -owne act & deede & according to my minde, as I have set my name to every page in these nine sheets so in the last page of the last sheete I have |)utt to my hand & scale the fowerteenth day of November one thousand sixe hundred fivety & three when I finished the same Robert Keatne & a scale Sealed deliv'ed published & declared this to be my last will & Testam* in the p'nts of us who testifye that this writing or will containes nine sheets of paper written fall on all sides. John Willson, Rich^ Parker, Edw.

Therefore my request to all that shall heare or read this my will is that they will make a favourable construction of all things contained in it & to passe by all my huraaine frailties & weakneses therein & to take nothing in the worst sence, where a more Christian & love- ing interpretation may be made of it, nor none to take or picke out of it anything of it to the p'judice of my will or the disappointing or frus- trating of any of there right which I have given to them, but if some words or expressions should seeme to jarr or differ that these may be interpreted as neare as can be gathered or reconcilled with the scope of my will in generall or other places of it in pticular, to be my true intent & meaning, for the will being long & my minde full of thoughts & exercises especially in some parts or passages in it there may be many defects in it that may justly call for a mantle of love to cover them and it is like that had I time to coppie it out faire againe (w''^ the length thereof will not easily p'mitt, for I had many thoughts that I should have dyed before I had quite finished haveing had one fitt of sicknes or weaknes they lay sore upon me & long which made me hasten the finishing of it all I could), I should leave ['i73.] out sev'all things that are now in it, but I am not will [rest of word gone] to imploy any body else to write it out but my selfe therefore it must now passe with what faults or defects may be judged to be in it. Item I give to M"". Buekly Senio"" Minister of Concord Three pounds & to M . Tomson Minister of Brantrey forty shillings as tokens of my love I have forgott one loveing couple more that came not to my minde till I was now shutting up & that is Cap' Bridges & his loveing wife to whom I give & bequeath forty shillings as a pledge of my loveing respects to them, to be payd two yeares after my decease if then liveing & abiding in y' country If my loveing wife or any other should be offended that I have not made my wife executrix as I did when my son was under age or that I have not now joyned hir with my son in the executorship as I have done in some former wills, my son being then in the warrs in England & so his life the more uncertaine, I conceive it not so convenient now, he being of full age & upon his returne home. Therefore to p''vent differences y' possibly might happen betweene my wife & hir son but cheifly because the accomplishm' of this will will procure much care & some trouble & labour, more fitt for a man to undergoe then a woman & I thinke it would be too great a burthen & worke for hir to undertake, besides if she should marry againe before the will should be fully accoraphshed & fullfiUed there might come some trouble to hir & more inconvenience to my estate of all w'^'^ she is eased & may injoyhir owne p"^ & due in peace & quiet Therefore I doe here againe declare all that which is contained before in nine sheetes of paper writt with my owne hand in all the sides thereof & more par- ticularly expressed in the 36 page y'' of with all that is added to it in this page 37 to be my last Will & Testament & my son Major Benjamine Keayne to be sole executor thereof & my loveing freinds mentioned in the lower ende of page 36 to be the overseers of it.

By reference to the table at the end it seems that W stands for "Widow," and that these are numbered in turn, though with one or two apparent errors. P stands for "Poor." The first column of course is a repetition of the initial of the surname. There are some notes which appear to be in short-hand, and these I have marked with an asterisk.

You would goe on & be in the way of yo'' Good — And pass a voat for about forty Pounds — to be laid out. for such things as are Necessary for to accommodate the said Engians to facilitate the Ends that they are Provided for./ And also to Procure other things that will be very Necessary to use in the Qiiicke Stoping, and Preventing the Spreading of fire in this Town iu case it should break out. And Likewise that you now make j^our Choyce and appoynt Some men to be a Committee to model a Skeme of all things need- full to be done in This Aifaire and Present it to th Towne for their Consideration And further Determination of what shall be done in the use of Means for the safety and Good of the Towne as God shall Direct./ ' Objections to Some op the Articles in the Return op the Select men op the Town of Boston in y^ year 1708 Relating TO the Flatts and Out Wharfes lying before y^ S° Town That however the Ancient undertakers & builders of y* S*^ Oat wharfes are in y*' S'^ report i-epresen*^ as delinquents,* [and their neglect agrevated by a frustration of the Intentions of the Gen" Court in Granting and Confirming to y* S*^ Undertakers whereas it doth not appear that ever there was any Such grant or Confirma- tion of the Gen'^ Court.*] yet it is presumed the principall cause of the S*^ wharfe So Soon brought to Ruine & the Owners thereof thereby made So great Sufferers was, that y® S^ wharfes Lying remote from the Owners Inspection, It became a eomon pratice for boats and other vessels [in the Night] to take ballast from y® S*^ Wharfes and no Special Severity in the Law provided to deterr 111 persons from Such practices, w'^'' in that day was expected would have been provided for the preventing So gi-eat and Publick a Mischief. But the consequence was that after so much of the Stones were So taken away y'' S*^ wharfes Could no longer be defended from the Force and Violence of Storms. * This is lined out iu the original from star to star. 154 City Document No. 150. And whereas it may so hapen that Some of y® Said proprietors by their Last Will gives to one Child his Interest in y'' out Wharfes and to another Child his Wharfe.& flatts next y^ Cove. It is pesLimed that it would be a hardship for the Gen" Court upon a Supposed Forfeiture, to Cutt off an}^ Such from their Right of Car- rying out their wharfes from within as far out as the Circular line, in as much as their being restrained as is proposed can be no bene- fit to y" Publick That each mans proportion at the Circular line be according the breadth of the Land at the High water Line unto w"^'' the Said flatts was first granted or did belong unto, rather then in the words therein exprest [his width] for that it may So hapen that at this day the wharfe before it further down on y'' flatts may have dis- tinct owners. That Some further Emendation in the Old Settlement Seems to be yet wanting before the Same be Enacted Viz' with respect to those whose Wharfes w'^'^ hapen to be So neer unto the North or to the South end of y^ Said Cove where there is not enough Space for Such as are or — Shall be Owners of those parts of y" Out Wharfes, to build two hundred foot Inwards from thence, without cutting off Such as are Owners of Land and Wharfes next the up land from their uaturall Right of a passage by — water to and from their wharfes and y" lying of vessells there. So that unless there be some restrant, and rules of limitation in their Wharfeing in wards it is presumed that the want thereof will hereafter be an Ocasion of Great Inconveniency and contention. CopiE OF Y^ Selectmen of Bostons Report Ab"^ the Out Wharves Pursuant to an Order of the Great and Gen" Court or Assembly held at Boston the Twentieth day of October 1708, Nominating & appointing the Select men that then were of the Town of Boston, to be a CoTThtte to consider what is Necessary for the Repaireing the Wall or out wharfe before the Cove in Boston, and to cause a Survey to be made of Said Flatts and the Circuler line to be Stated out and each mans Right Apportioned — agreeable to a Covenant made by the Select men of S'^ Town with the Undertakers of Said Wharfe, Reserving to y" Town that the Flatts that lye before their Highways Leading into Said Cove be continued their full breadth to the Circular Line And that they make a return of their doings therein, and the names of those that refuse to I'epair their respec- tive parts by them undertaken unto this court for their Approbation and Confirmation, and for their further directions therein. The Subscribers being the Select men of that year do report that they have caused a New Survey to be made of the Said Flatts and Cove, and a Plan with all care to be drawn and the Circular line to be marked on S*^ Plan, wherein each mans Right at the Cir- cular line, in proportion to his width at high water Line is easily TSIlSCELLANEOUS PAPERS. 155 Seen, Reserving to the Town their full breadth in the Flatts Abutting on their Highwayes, and that agreeable to the direction of this Hon""'® Court to take the Resolutions of those that were In- terested in the Out wall or wharfe about repairing their respective parts according to their Obligations in the Original Contract, we made the aforesaid Order Publick, and notified the Several Under- takers, their heires Successors, and have conferred w*^ all that we can finde any way Interested in the Same, and have taken the Subscriptions of those that are willing to repair their respective parts under some limittations, the whole amounting to One thousand foot, the rest do either refuse, or their familyes is So broken the Right owner cannot be found, the wharfs lying Unimprovable few have taken notice of it in their Wills ; So that many branches of Familyes claiming joyntly, and that in Such Minute parts that renders the repair impracticable. So that on due enquiry & Consideration of the damage that accrues to the Publick by the present posture of the S*^ Wharfes &c, the Undertakers haveing not performed the Conditions Stipulated, and the Severall Intentions in the Grantees, And the Gen" Court in the granting & Confirming to S*^ Undertakers being frustrated ; Do humbly Offer That It be enacted &c. That all that claim propriety in the Sayd Out- Wharfes, that do refuse or Neglect to repair their respective parts of the Same within the Space of three years next after the date hereof, Shall forfeit the Same to the Town and be So deemed. And that the Selectmen from time to time be im- powered and Obliged forwith to Grant their paits to Others that will undertake and Maintaine the Same, their heires and Successors forever, and that Such persons be Obliged to the Conditions in the first Covenant, and that for the future any person engageing to repair and Maintaine any part of S*^ Wharfe, and Neglecting or refusing to make good the Same Shall be liable to an Action of Damage, either from any one of the undertakers, or from the Selectmen of the Town, And the Select men be liable to a present- ment by the Grand jury on their Neglect in y® premises. Be it Enacted &c That those that have Wharfes or Flatts in the Cove that are Interested in the out wall or Wharfes & refuse and forfeit their Intrest and their Right in the Out Wharfes, be pro- hibitted from Carrying their Wharfes out any farther to the Circu- lar line than they now are or not within one hundred foot of the Said line. Be it Enacted &c That no person what so ever carry his wharfe any farther then the Circular line as deliniated On the Plan now taken. That those that have exceeded (w'^'^ are but three) be Obliged to remove the Same by the Space of three years. Or Annually the Last Monday in February pay to tlie Town Treasurer or Select men for the use at least one halfe of the yearly Income or improvement for ground rent, and that the Town Treasu' be Obliged and Impowered to demand and Sue for the Same as for the Townes Rents Or any other way that may remedy the Inconvenience, and effectually prevent others from the like Incroachments. And that Said Circular line be Esteemed in the 156 City Document jSTo. 150. Law in the Nature of High wayes And Encroachm*' on the S^ line in the Same manner removed. * Be it Enacted &c. That each mans proportion at the Circular line, be according to his width at. y® Higli Water line and that be Esteemed the true boundary between man & man however erregular the Wharfes now are, and that the Selectmen be directed to cause S.** line to be run on any difference in the Nighbourhood. And that for the Encouragment and further Improvement of the Said Wharfes, Liberty be Granted for King Street to be Continued in a Straight line from the Circular Line to Low water-Mark forty five foot in width, with an Obligation to maintain full thirty foot free from Incumberance w*'^ two Open passages or Communication for Lighters of Sixteen foot each, from the North to the South parts of Said Cove to be Kept Open forever in Such places as Shall be agreed by the Select men And that the Select men be desired and Impowered to grant the Same to any that will un- dertake and Maintain the Same as aforesaid, Some haveing Offered it for the Publick good. And that there be but two Gapps, One on the North of Eighty foot and that on the South of Seventy foot wide as per Plan B and that there be a passage way for Carts in Common at Least Twenty foot wide from Battery-March and Fleet Street continued to the Gapps, and from Kingstreet Continued to Each Gapp where the Out Wharfes now are. That those within the Cove that are not Intrested in y® Out Wall or Wharfe Shall be prohibited from Wharfing any further then within an hundred foot of the Circular line. That those that are or Shall be Intrested in the s*^ Out Wharfes, and Shall See reason to Wharfe out further Eastward, Shall be Obliged to Keep full Twenty foot on the Outmost or Eastward part free from building, for a line of Guns for the Publick Safety and defence. In a word that the Old Settlement with these Emen- dations be Enacted and Confirmed by this Hon''''' Court, we humbly Conceive that nothing will effectually remove this Inconvenience like Intrest, in rendering the Same Improveable w'='^ the easy and neer Access to the Same will do by the Continuation of King Street to the Middle part &c as well as a Considerable Increase of the Estate of y* Town, all which we humbly Submitt &c And Sub- scribe.

Unfortu- nately the earliest issue was in 1789, and we are deprived of this accurate report of ante-Revolutionary citizens. But from the date of its appearance we begin to tread on firm ground in regard to the names, residences, and occupations of our inhabitants. This information comes into service to fill out the deplorable lack of town records, and it has seemed to the Record Commissioners that they could hardly select more valuable documents for reprinting than the two earliest volumes of the Directory, — those of 1789 and 1796. The subjoined list will show the years of its issue. Beginning in 1789, the fourth issue was in 1800, and the fourteenth in 1820. Since then, with the exception of 1824, it has appeared annually. In a list printed in the I3irectory for 1852 it was stated that a volume appeared in 1815, containing 6,402 names. The sole authority for this was Dr. N. B. Shurtleff, a well-known anti- quary ; but it seems as if he must have been in error, since no copy of the book is known to exist. So, again, a rumor has pre- vailed of a volume in 1819 ; but this has yet to be found, and the probabilities are against its existence. In 1852, in the Appendix to the regular volume, the publishers reprinted the first volume, that of 1789, and they also issued the same in a small pamphlet. In 1848 Dearborn reprinted the same in his "Boston Notions." With these exceptions it is believed that none of the volumes have ever been reprinted. A few notes are subjoined relative to some of the more notice- able features of this series. It will be observed that there has been an almost uniform annual increase in the number of names. The exceptions are in 1806, 1818, 1823, 1863, 1875, and 1877, when a^very slight decrease from the preceding year is recorded. It may be safely said that the annual increase is regular, and not at present showing any signs of diminishing. 164 City Document No. 150. List of Directories Published.

Almost every volume has extra pages of advertisements not included in these figures. Moreover the number of names, as given in two consecutive volumes, does not always agree, owing to possible errors found in recounts or to changes caused by death. However, the figures here given are doubtless sufficiently accurate to show the real growth of our city. The figures for 1846 probably relate to Adams's volume, and not to Stimpson's. 166 City Document No. 150. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE.

The first volume of the Directory was illustrated with John Norman's map of the town. Shurtleff says that this was evidently based upon Bonner's map. An excellent sketch of the Maps of Boston will be found in the " Memorial History of Boston," vol. ii., p. xlix, and vol. iii. , p. vii. It is highly probable that Norman's map ,was simply copied and altered from some previous one, without making any new surveys. As it is both rai'e and curious, we have had a facsimile made and placed in its proper position in our reprint of the Directory for 1789. The Directory for 1796 was illustrated by a new map, engraved b}' Joseph Callendar, from actual surveys made by Osgood Carle- ton. The same map was used in the issues of 1798 and 1800, In 1803 the same map was used, but a few changes were made on the plate ; noticeably the date and publisher's name were erased ; No. 3, of the References, was changed, and No. 9 added. The changes were mainly on Beacon Hill and the west side of the town. We have had o. facsimile of this map prepared, in its latest form, as being the most serviceable one, and it will be found at the end of the Directory for 1796. In 1805 and"l806 the map of 1803 was used. In 1807 Callendar engraved a new map for the Directory, which bore only the inscription, " Plan of Boston," on a shaded ground. This map, with various alterations, seems to have been used through and including 1827. In 1828 a totally new map was engraved for the Directory by Hazen Morse, and, with the necessary changes, it appeared annually throui^h 1838. Notes to Miscellaneous Papers. 169 In 1839 Morse and Tuttle engraved a new map, quite different from its predecessors. Later changes are liardly worth pursuing. It will be noticed that the enterprise of publishing the Directory has been continued in few hands. John Norman had it the first year, then John West for four volumes, followed by Edward Cotton for eight volumes. With the fourteenth volume Charles Stimpson became the proprietor, and with one or two partners he managed it for over twenty-five years (1820-46). From 1831 to 1846 in- clusive the title-page was inscribed " Stimpson's Boston Direc- tory," etc. tip to this date the volume was of small size, the type page measuring about 5 inclies by 2^ inches. In July, 1846, there appeared the first volume of "Adams's New Directory of the City of Boston," a volume with a page about 8 X 4| inches. This volume is backed 1846-1847, beginning with July, 1846, and this style was continued for several years. Ap- parently, therefore, there were two Directories in 1846 competing for public favor ; but in 1847 Mr. Adams announced that he had obtained from Mr. Stimpson the good-will and interest of the Boston Directory. The third volume of the new series, 1848, accordingly assumed the old style of the Boston Directory. Mr. Adams, who was born in Boston in 1807, died Oct. 4, 1865, and a brief memoir of him will be found in the volume for 1866. In the volume for 1852 will be found the reprint of 1789, and also some facts in regard to the book which we have incorporated in our tables. In the Directory for 1879 a reprint was given of a small sheet entitled " Boston Mercantile Directory," issued from the " Reper- tory " oflSce in 1809. Mention was also made that no name was to be fouud in 1879 in the Directory that was there in any issue prior to 1813. A list was given of 259 persons living in Boston in 1879 whose names were in the volumes between 1813 and 1829. In 1873, after the great fire, two Supplements were issued to supply information as to the great number of removals in the busi- ness portion of the city. W. H. W.

JOHN WEST. Boston, June, 1796. A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BOSTON.' Boston, the capital of the State of Massachusetts, the largest town in New England, and the third in size and rank in the United States, lies in 42° 23' 15" north latitude, and 70° 58' 53" west lon- gitude from London. This town, with the towns of Hiugham, Chelsea and Hull, constitute the county of Suffolk. Boston is built upon a peninsula of irregular form at the bottom of Massa- chusetts Bay, and is joined to the main land by an isthmus on the south end of the town leading to Roxbur3\ It is two miles long, but is of unequal breadth ; the broadest part is 726 yards. The peninsula contains about 700 acres, (other accounts say 1000) on which are 2376 dwelling-houses. The number of inhabitants in 1790 was 18,038, but the increase has been very considerable since. The town is intersected by 97 streets, 36 lanes, and 26 alleys, besides 18 courts, &c. Most of these are irregular and not very convenient. State Street, Common Street, and a few others, are exceptions to this general character ; the former is very spa- cious, and being on a line with Long Wharf, where strangers usu- ally land, exhibits a flattering idea of the town. Here are nineteen edifices for public worship, of which nine are for Congregationalists, three for Episcopalians, and two for Bap- tists ; the Friends, Roman Catholics, Methodists, Sandemanians and Universalists have one each. Most of these are ornamented with beautiful spires, with clocks and bells. The other public buildings are the State House, Court House, Theatre, Gaol, Con- cert Hall, Faneuil Hall, an Alms House, a Work House, a Bride- well and Powder Magazine. FranMin Place, adjoining the Thea- tre, is a great ornament to the town ; it contains a monument of Dr. Franklin, from whom it takes its name, and is encompassed on two sides with the Tontine Buildings, which, in point of ele- gance, i^re not exceeded, perhaps, in the United States. Here are kept in capacious I'ooms, given and fitted up for the purpose, the Boston Library, and the valuable Collections of the Historical Society. Most of the public buildings are handsome, and some of them are elegant. A magnificent State House is now ei'ecting in Boston, on the south side of Beacon Hill, fronting the Mall, the corner-stone of which was laid with great formality and parade 1 This account of Boston is extracted, by permisfiion, from the Rev. Dr. Morse's Gazetteer of America, a work now in the press, and which will he published in the course of the pres- ent year. 218 City Document No. 150. on the 4th of July, 1795 ; which, when finished, will over- top the monument on Beacon Hill. The Market Place in which Faneuil Hall is situated is supplied with all kinds of provisions, which the country affords. The fish market in particular, by the bounteous supplies of the ocean and rivers, not only furnishes the rich with the rarest productions, but often provides the poor with a cheap and grateful repast. Boston Harbour is formed by Point Alderton on the south, and by Nahant Point on the north. The harbour is capacious enough for 500 vessels to ride at anchor in good depth of water ; whilst the entrance is so narrow as scarcely to admit two ships abreast. It is variegated with about forty islands, of which fifteen only can be properly called so ; the othei's being small rocks or banks of sand slightly covered with verdure. These islands afford excellent pasturage, hay and grain, and furnish agreeable places of resort in summer to parties of pleasure. Castle Island is about three miles from the peninsula; its fortifications, formerly called Castle William, defend the entrance of the harbour. It is garrisoned by about fifty soldiers, who serve as a guard for the convicts, who are sent here to hard labour. The convicts are chiefly employed in making nails. The Light House stands on a small island on the north entrance of the channel, (Point Alderton and Nantasket Heights being on the south) and is about 65 feet high. To steer for it from Cape Cod, the course is W. N. W. when within one league of the Cape ; from Cape Cod to the Light House is about 16 leagues; from Cape Ann the course is S. W. distant 10 leagues. A cannon is lodged and mounted at the Light House to answer signals. Only seven of the islands in the bay are within the jurisdiction of the town, and taxed with it, viz. Noddle's, Hog, Long, Deer, Spectacle, Governor's and Apple Islands. The wharves and quays in Boston are about eighty in number, and very convenient for vessels. Long Wharf, or Boston Pier, in particular, extends from the bottom of State Street 1743 feet into the harbour in a straight line. The breadth is 104 feet. At the end are 1 7 feet of water at ebb tide. Adjoining to this wharf on the north is a convenient wharf called Minot's T, from the name of its former proprietor and its form. Vessels are supplied here with fresh water from a well surrounded by salt water, which has been dug at a great expense. Long AVharf is covered on the north side with large and commodious stores, and in every respect exceeds any thing of the kind in the United States. In February, 1796, a company was incorporated to cut a canal between this harbour and Roxbury, which is nearly completed. The view of the town as it is approached from the sea is truly beautiful and picturesque. It lies in a circular and pleasingly irregular form round the harbour, and is ornamented with spires, above which the monument on Beacon Hill rises pre-eminent ; on its top is a gilt eagle bearing the arms of the Union, and on the base of the column are inscriptions, commemorating some of the most remarkable events of the late war. Beacon Hill is the high- est ground on the peninsula, and affords a most delightful and Miscellaneous Papers. 219 extensive prospect. The Common below it contains about 45 acres always open to refreshing breezes ; on its east side is the Mall, a very pleasant walk above 500 yards in length, adorned with rows of trees, to which an addition of about 100 yards has been added this year. Charles River and West Boston Bridges are highly useful and ornamental to Boston ; and both are on Charles River, which mingles its waters with those of Mystic River, in Boston Harbour. Charles River Bridge connects Boston with Charles- town in Middlesex county, and is 1503 feet long, 42 feet broad, stands on 75 piers, and cost tlie subscribers 50,000 dollars. It was opened June 19, 1787. Feet long. West Boston Bridge stands on 180 piers, is 3483 Bridge over the gore, 14 piers, 275 Abutment of Boston side, 87J Causewa}", 3344 Distance from the end of the Causeway to Cambridge meet- ing-house, 7810 Width of the Bridge, 40 This beautiful Bridge exceeds the other as much in elegance as in length, and cost the subscribers 76,700 dollars. Both Bridges have draws for the admission of vessels, and lamps for the benefit of evening passengers. Seven Free Schools are supported here at the public expense, in which the children of every class of citizens may f reeh- associate together. The number of scholars is computed at about 900, of which 160 are taught Latin, &c. There are besides these many private schools. The principal societies in the Commonwealth hold their meet- ings in this town, and are, the Marine Society, American Acad- emy of Arts II nd Sciences, Massachusetts Agricultural Society, Massachusetts Charitable Society, Boston Episcopal Charitable Society, Massachusetts Historical Society, Society for propagating the Gospel, Massachusetts Congregational Society, Medical Society, Humane Society, Boston Library Society, Boston Mechanic Association, Society for the aid of Lumigrants, Char- itable Fire Society, and seven respectable Lodges of free and accepted Masons. The foreign and domestic trade of Boston is very considerable, to support which there are three Banks, viz. the Branch of the United States Bank, the Union, and the Massachusetts Bank ; the latter consists of 800 shares of 500 dollars, equal to 400,000 ; the capital of the Union Bank is 1,200,000 dollars, 400,000 of which is the property of the State. In 1748, 500 vessels cleared out of this port for, and 430 were entered from, foreign parts. In 1784, the entries of foreign and coasting vessels were 372, and the clearances 450. In 1794, the entries from foreign ports were 567. In 1795, these entries amounted to 725, of which the ships were 96, barques 3, snows 9, polacre 1, brigs 185, dogger 1, schooners 362, shallop 1, and sloops 65. The principal manufactures consist of rum, loaf-sugar, beer, sail-cloth, cordage, wool and cotton cards, playing cards, 220 City Document No. 150. pot and pearl ashes, paper hangings, hats, plate, glass, tobacco, and chocolate. There are thu-ty distilleries, two breweries, eight sugar houses, and eleven rope walks. Eight years ago, the intercourse with the country barely re- quired two stages and twelve horses, on the great road between this and New -Haven, distant 170 miles; whereas there are now twenty carriages and one hundred horses employed. The number of the different stages that run through the weeli from this town is upwards of 20, eight years ago there were only three. Attempts have been made to change the government of the town from its present form to that of a city ; but this measure, not according with the democratic spirit of the people, has as yet failed. At an annual meeting in March, nine Selectmen are chosen for the government of the town ; at the same lime are chosen a Town Clerk, a Treasurer, twelve Overseers of the Poor, twelve Firewards, twelve Clerks of the Market, twelve Scavengers, twelve Constables, besides a number of other officers. If the in- habitants do not reap all the advantages they have a right to ex- pect from their numerous officers, it is not for want of wholesome laws for the regulation of the weights, measures and quality of provisions, or other branches of police, but, hecause the laws are not put in execution. Besides those called Trained Bauds, there are four other mili- tary companies in Boston, viz. the Ancieut and Honourable Artillery Company, the Cadets, Fusiliers and Artillery. The Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company was incorporated in 1638, and the election of a captain and officers of it for the year is on the first Monday in June annually, which is observed here as a day of festivity. Several officers in the American army, who signalized themselves in the late war, received their first knowl- edge of tactics in this military school. Boston was settled as early as 1G31 ; from Charlestown it was called Sliaumut by the Indians ; Trimouyitain by the settlers in Charlestown. from the view of its three hills ; and had its present name in token of respect to the Rev. Mr. Cotton, a minister of Boston in England, and afterwards minister of the first church here. Boston was greatly damaged by an earthquake on October 29, 1727, and since that time it has suffered severely by numerous fires, the houses being mostly built of wood. The last fire hap- pened July 30, 1794, and consumed 96 houses, ropewalks, &c. and the account of losses given in by the sufferers amounted to 209,861 dollars. It was in Boston that the Revolution originated which gave Independence to America, and from thence flew like an electrical shock throughout the Union. It suffered much, at the commence- ment of the war, by the loss of an extensive trade, and other calamities. Boston feels a pride in having given birth to Ben- jamin Franklin, and a number of other patriots, who were among the most active and influential characters in eff'ecting the revolu- tion.
