Signum et sigillum<br />

Proved at Ipswich 12 October 1597 by the relict.<br />

Thome Murvin<br />

This Will was signed <strong>and</strong> sealed, but the original is not<br />

extant, <strong>and</strong> there is nothing to show what device the seal<br />

may have borne. <strong>The</strong> '<br />

Kaderne that was his mother's ' was<br />

possibly a cradle, as I find the word kader or cadcr, which<br />

nearly approaches that in the Will, so explained by <strong>English</strong><br />

authorities.*<br />
