Hello, teachers.
Would you help me understand the following sentence?
...and in his pious will he bequeathed his 'sowle to Allmyhtie God his Maker and Redeemer, to have the fruition of the Deitie with Our Blessed Ladie and all Saints and the Abbey Churche of St Sepulchre with the implements thereof, to the Paryshe of Cullerne, so that the said Parishioners shall not sell, alter, or alienate the said Churche, or Implements or anye part or parcell thereof for ever.'
The latter half ("so that the said Parishioners...") is easy to understand but I have difficulty in understanding the grammatical structure of the first half of this sentence. I think I understand that
(1) he gave back his soul to allmighty god.
(2) he bequeathed the church to the parish of Cullerne.
but what does "to have the fruition of the Deitie with...to the Paryshe of Cullerne" mean?
I appreciate any comments from you!! Thanks.
