Default Will help

Would anyone fancy having a go at filling in the gaps and correcting what I've patched together on a will from 1633. The handwriting is a bit different to what I'm used to and I'm struggling! It's a page long.

I've recently been looking at some fairly early wills and found this site invaluable for anything in secretary hand, as it gives different variations for each letter:

Funnily enough I've just transcribed a will from 1623 which, with the help of that site, I found easier than some from the eighteenth century.
