Death

He was educated at a Benedictine seminary in Douai or Paris, France, as these institutions were named residuary legatees in his will. Edward Clarke directed that his wife save his books for his young son and not to "lend or dispose of any of them for feare that any of them should be lost." He left his only son to "his wife's tender care," but provided if she marry an abusive husband, the boy should be cared for by overseers of the will "to breede him up in the feare of God & with learning."[3]
