But whereas the value of my Library cannot bee taken but by judicious and learned men som of my bookes beinge in such languages wherein common English men know not one letter, therefore I do appoint my reverend and trusty friends and brethren, the President of the Colledge, and the pastor of the Church of Cambridge, both to value them and lay asside the bookes hereafter specifyed as given to my wife, viz. The book of Martirs in two vollumes, Dr. Preston's workes, Mr. Burrough's workes, All bookes of Phisicke and surgery that are in the English tongue, with twelve or sixteen bookes brought by her out of England, wherein I will have her word for a legall testimony, because it is good and vallid unto mee in my will. The other two moyties of my library, I with the consent of my wife have by deed and gift given and bequeathed unto my two sons David and Jonathan Dunster, to be equally divided between them, and to be delivered unto them as they shall have need of any particular books, and the whole bulke of them when they come to maturity of age. ... Concerning the third part, I reserved in my own hands, I thus dispose thereof as followeth. Item. I give and bequeath to Mr. Chauncy such mathematicke bookes as hitherto I have lent him, with what household goods I left at Cambridge, viz. my great press in the Hall chamber and another press for bookes in the Study.
