. Johnson could not stop his merriment, but continued it all the way till he got without the Temple -gate. He then burst into such a fit of laughter, that he appeared to be almost in a convulsion ; and, in order to support himself, laid hold of one of the posts at the side of the foot pavement, and sent forth peals so loud, that in the silence of the night his voice seemed to resound from Temple -bar to Fleet - ditch. " In spite of Dr. Johnson's amusement, the early making of a will has long be...en of grave concern to moralists. As Donne in one of his sermons says, the execution of a will at the last may be a heavy business, but the addition of a codicil, if necessary, may be easily dispatched. But in wills themselves the most elaborate language is employed to force home this precept. The will of Dame Jane Talbot, dated in the 2Oth year of Henry VII. , thus begins : '' I Dame Jane Talbot, widow late the wife of Sir Humphrey Talbot knight, calling to remembrance that the gracious passage and departing from this transi- tory life dependeth and ensueth upon a discrete will made by good deliberation in good and virtuous order ; and that I and all other Christian people be mortal and must depart from the wretched uncertain and unstable life, 76 WILLS AND TESTAMENTS the hour and time of which departing from the same unstable life is uncertain ; and also that I and any other mortal person, be apt by the sending and visitation of God to receive and take such infirmities and sickness whereby I might, in or immediately before the article or pain of death, lack or fail sure and perfect mind and reason to order and make my last will and testament according to the meritorious and wholesome intent to the will of my soul : where- fore I the said Dame Jane Talbot, being of perfect health whole mind and good memory, to the honour of God and health of my said soul ordain and make this my testament and last will in manner and form following ; that is to say, First I bequeath and give my soul unto my Lord God, Father of Heaven, which of His inestimable and infinite mercy and goodness hath made it assemblable to His own image, and of His infinite mercy with His precious blood hath redeemed it, and to His blessed Mother the Virgin Saint Mary and also to the charitable tuition and keeping of all the saints in Heaven.
