They, having full possession, re-enfeoffed John Bate and Agnes then his wife and the heirs of their bodies, remainder wholly to Elizabeth and the heirs of her body. After this enfeoffment, John Bate died in this estate, and Agnes continued to hold the lands, etc., in this estate for forty years and more until her death.
