As you can see the writing is a bit difficult to read, but luckily I found an abstract on Googlebooks:

At a county court held at Boston 16 Oct. 1658, Mr John Johnson deposed that he saw Jn° Dane sign & publish it as his last will, &c.

Two points of my family history interest in the will. First, John Dane's second wife Anic/Annis, is my 10x great grandmother through her first marriage to my ancestor William Chandler,
And the George Abbot mentioned in the will as having the black cow is my 9x great grandfather.
I wish I could decipher the crossed out part. It looks to be something John had left his wife's daughters from her first marriage and then he changed his mind.
