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