The Archbishop had left a widow.

To her William granted a pension of four hundred a year, which he afterwards increased to six hundred.

His anxiety that she should receive her income regularly and without stoppages was honourable to him.

Every quarterday he ordered the money, without any deduction, to be brought to himself, and immediately sent it to her.

Tillotson had bequeathed to her no property, except a great number of manuscript sermons.
