[62] [The will of Harvey is without date. But was almost certainly
made some time in the course of 1652. He speaks of certain deeds of
declaration bearing date the 10th of July, 1651; and he provides
money for the completion of the buildings which he has “already begun
to erect within the Colledge of Physicians.” Now these structures
were finished in the early part of 1653. The will was, therefore,
written between July 1651, and February 1653. The codicil is also
undated: but we may presume that it was added shortly before Sunday
the 28th of December 1656, the day on which Harvey reads over the
whole document and formally declares and publishes it as his last
will and testament in the presence of his friend Henneage Finch, and
his faithful servant John Raby.]
