Observations

As this is taken from a copy of the will deposited at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury there are no supporting documents.
The Christian name of the testator is difficult to decipher which is why there are a number of possibilities shown. Even the godmother's name cannot be definitively deciphered though it seems likely that since the godmother was a Herbert, the testator was given the same Christian name, therefore we can speculate that the testator was a woman or girl.
