William Tracy , Sir

From Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies 1841:

Sir William Tracy, of Toddington, was sheriff of Gloucestershire, in the 5th Henry VIII, anno 1512. He was a gentleman of excellent parts and sound learning, and is memorable for being one of the first who embraced the reformed religion in England, as appears by his last will dated 22nd Henry VIII which was condemned inthe Bishop of London's Court, after his decease, and an order sent to Parker, Chancellor of Worcester, to raise his body; but he too officiously burning the corpse, the recorder only warranting him to raise the body according to the law of the church, he was afterwards fined £400, and turned out of the chancellorship. The will being rather of a curious nature and characteristic of the times, we insert an abstract from it at foot.

The Will of Sir William:

"In the name of God Amen." "I, William Tracey, of Todington, in the County of Gloucester, make my Testament and last Will, as hereafter followeth:
First and before all things I commit my self to God, and to his Mercy, believing, without any doubt or Mistrust, that by his Grace, and the Merits of Jesus Christ, and by virtue of his Passion and Resurrection, I have, and shall have, Remission of all my Sins, and Resurrection of Body and Soul, according as it is written: "I believe that my Redeemer liveth, and that at the last day I shall rise out of the Earth, and in my Flesh shall see my Saviour." This my hope is laid up in my bosom.
And touching the Wealth of my Soul, the Faith that I have taken and rehears'd, is sufficient (as I suppose) without any other Man's Works or Merits. My Ground and Belief that there is but one God, and one Mediator between God and Man, which is Jesus Christ; so that I accept none in Heaven or in Earth, to be a Mediator between me and God, but only Jesus Christ; all others to be but as Petitioners in receiving of Grace, but none able to give Influence of Grace; and therefore will I bestow no part of my goods for that Intent, that any man shall say or do to help my soul, for therein I trust only to the promises of Christ, "He that believeth, and is baptiz'd, shall be sav'd; and he that believeth not, shall be damned."
As touching the burying of my body, it availeth me not whatsoever be done thereto; for St. Augustine saith, "De Cura agenda pro Mortuis," that the Funeral Pomps are rather the Solace of them that live, than the Wealth and Comfort of them that are dead, and therefore I remit it only to the discretion of my Executors.
And touching the distribution of my temporal Goods, my purpose is, by the Grace of God, to bestow them to be accepted as the Fruits of Faith; so that I do not suppose that my Merit shall be by the Good bestowing of them, but my Merit is the Faith of Jesus Christ only, by whom such Works are good; according to the words of our Lord: "I was hungry, and thou gavest me Meat etc." And it followeth, "That ye have done to the least of my Brethren; ye have done it to me:" and ever we should consider the true saying, "That a good Work maketh not a good man, but a good man maketh a good work; for Faith maketh a man both good and righteous, for a righteous man liveth by Faith, and whatsoever springeth not of Faith, is Sin."
