Summary
I commit my sinful soul to the grace and mercy of Jesus, my maker and redeemer,… to His mother, the most blessed Virgin Mary, and to all the saints; [and] my body [to be buried] in… [St Patrick's] cathedral before the feet of the image of St Patrick… I give and leave one messuage… that I have in Duleek… for the use and support of the poor and infirm in the house which I built lately in St Kevin's street, Dublin. I give and leave… all my messuages… in Thornton in the parish of Skreen, for the use of the poor in the said house, for the continual reparation of the same house and to buy clothes and other necessaries for the poor… Not any poor whatsoever, but faithful Catholics of good repute, honest conversation and of the English nation, especially of the nation of the Aleyns, Barrets, Beggs, Hills, Dillons and Rodiers living in the dioceses of Meath and Dublin… I will… moreover that the… admission… and also the removal… of the poor in this… house should be made diligently by the dean and chapter of the said cathedral church for the time being;… no exaction or receipt of money… should be made for the… admission… of any of the poor in this house… but… should be made altogether gratis, for the love of God and in respect of charity.
