Any ideas for this word?
 It is after "into the handes of" and it must mean something like "protection" or "care". I have looked at it until I'm blue in the face. So far I have: ".... being sicke in bodye but whol in mynd and of pfit memorie do make this my last will and testament in maner and forme following first I give and bequeath my soule into the handes and /ition of almightie god my saviour and redeemer... "

Perhaps it ends "-tion".

It could be, Phoenix, but not a word I've ever seen used in this context.
Oooh, yes, this phrase is used! Many thanks, Phoenix. Every time I transcribe a will I come across something new, just when I think I must know most of the standard phrases.

P.S. It's obvious when you look at it!

Having Googled, it looks a very protestant phrase, floating around in the 1560s.
I have some early wills that have the most wonderful preambles, before they all got ironed out into uniformity.

Inioye and nevvies are two words I still remember puzzling over, it took me so long to work out what they meant.

This is the will of Edward Silverside, made in 1577. I'm not sure yet if he is a direct ancestor, but he must be related somehow to my 9x-great-grandfather, Martin Silverside, whose will was made in 1638, the year he died. They lived in the same village - Bletchingdon in Oxfordshire. I think it's one of the earliest wills I have transcribed.

There are also a couple of words here I'm not sure of:
 I have: Item I will that if the sayd Elizabeth doth marrye that then she put in / / for the payment of the legaces to my children
