Impremis.

Impremicis. I give my body to the earth from which it was taken, hoping a joyful resurrection from thence at the last day. As for my burial, I desire that it may be decent, at the discretion of my wife and my children and my executors hereafter named. Item. I will and require that all my Bind. debts be paid and the remainder to be disposed of in manner following.
