Testament of John Emond [19 May 1429]

In the testament of John Emond is contained as following: In the name of God, Amen. On 19 May ad 1429 and the seventh year of the reign of King Henry VI, I, John Emond, citizen and goldsmith of London, healthy of mind and with good memory, draw up, make, and ordain this my present testament in this manner: Firstly, I bequeath and commend my soul to almighty God my creator and to the blessed Mary his mother, and my body to be buried within the parish church of St Vedast in Foster Lane, London, near the font towards the great door of the same church. Item, I bequeath 3s. 4d. to the high altar of the said church for my forgotten tithes. Item, I give and bequeath to my executors, listed below, all the status which I have in a tenement with an adjacent shop and its appurtenances in West Cheap in the parish of St Matthew Friday Street which I formerly had from the demise and confirmation of John Bulstrode, the son and heir of John Bulstrode, late citizen and goldsmith of London, for them to sell as soon as possible after my death in the best manner they know how and are able to do this. And I bequeath the money received from this sale to be distributed by my same executors for masses to be celebrated for my soul, the soul of my father and the souls of all the faithful departed and in other works of charity as it shall seem to them best to please God and to benefit the salvation of my soul. Item, I give and bequeath to Laura my wife all that tenement of mine in which I am living in Gutter Lane in the parish of St Vedast, London, with shops, houses, upper rooms, and their appurtenances which I formerly acquired from John Flete, citizen and goldsmith of London, the son and heir of John Flete, late citizen and goldbeater of London.
