Reading of old will - c1700

I have managed to read later wills but this one is in an older script and I cannot make much of it. Does anyone know of a skilled reader?
I know about the RootsChat site, where small passges of old script can be posted for interpretation, but this is too big a job for that.

Come on Daggers. Post it a bit at a time and we can all have a go. Some of mine were in Latin or a type of French!!

Thanks for encouragement, but a cousin has offered to have a go and the will is in the post to him. If he fails, I will return here, but I am no expert in posting images.
