lure of funds to carry my former
intentions into effect, I direct that my library, with the
exceptions above made, be sold by public auction, unless it, or
any part of it, can be advantageously disposed of by private
sale, and that from the proceeds 1,500 rupees be paid as a
legacy to my son Jabez Carey, a like sum having heretofore been
paid to my sons Felix and William.

Sixthly--It was my intention to have bequeathed a similar sum
to my son Jonathan Carey, but GOD has so prospered him that he
is in no immediate want of it. I direct that, if any thing
remains, it be given to my wife, Grace Carey, to whom I also
bequeath all my household furniture, wearing apparel, and
whatever other effects I may possess, for her proper use and
behoof.

Seventhly--I direct that, before every other thing, all my
lawful debts may be paid; that my funeral be as plain as
possible; that I may be buried by the side of my second wife,
Charlotte Emilia Carey; and that the following inscription, and
nothing more, may be cut on the stone which commemorates her,
either above or below, as there may be room; viz.

"William Carey, born August 17th, 1761, died----

"A wretched, poor, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall."

Eighthly--I hereby constitute and appoint my dear friends, the
Rev. William Robinson, of Calcutta, and the Rev. John Mack, of
Serampore, executors to this my last will and testament, and
request them to perform all therein desired and ordered by me,
to the utmost of their power.

Ninthly--I hereby declare this to be my last will and
testament, and revoke all other wills and testaments of a date
prior to this.

(Signed) WILLIAM CAREY.
