He goes on to say that, in the event that he should die on the way, he makes bequests to his nephew and namesake Bertramme Snellen consisting of 4 marks and his silver belt and chain. Other bequests are made to his wife, Grete; his sister and brother-in-law; a brother, apparently of unsound mind; and friends, as well as to various charitable and religious causes, foremost being the church of St. Peter and the Brotherhood of Corpus Domini ("heilige Leichnam").
