with plate of fyne gold, in the maner of an armed man, and upon the same armour, a Coote

and the same Ymage to knele upon a table of silver and gilte, and holding betwixt his hands the
Crowne which it pleased God to geve us, with the victorie of our Ennemye at our furst felde: the
which Ymage and Crowne, we geve and bequethe to Almighty God, our blessed Lady Saint Mary,
and Saint Edward King and Confessour, and the same Ymage and Crowne in the fourme afore
rehersed, we wol be set upon, and in the mydds of the Creste of the Shryne of Saint Edward
King, in suche a place as by us in our life, or by our Executours after our deceasse, shall be
thought most convenient and honorable. And we wol that our said Ymage be above the kne of

above and over the said Crowne • and that upon booth sides of the said table be a convenient
brode border, and in the same be graven and written with large letters blake enameled, thies words,
