That is to my eldest son Jacob and my old Dutch Bible as his acknowledgement of his birthright, and it is my will that my daughter Aefie if not then married shall be set out in order, furnished with mourning and wedding robes, and reasonable linen and housing stuff as becomes a young woman of our degree.
