Joane Blake widow is the testatrix and she is perhaps married to the John that she mentions is Uncle to John Cowling. John is the legatee who receives the most in both money and goods in the will below.
I will return to this will if there is another that fits into it as looking at Family Search did not lead to any particular clues on this Blake family.

Will of Thomas Blake of Playtford, husbandman - SWRO P2/4 Reg/203A, probated 27 Jul 1565
There are only two wills for the Blake family at Plaitford the one I blogged for Richard Blake probated in 1572 earlier today
http://kippeeb.blogspot.ca/2012/10/will-of-richard-blake-of-platyford.html
and this one for Thomas Blake also husbandman probated in 1565. Thomas mentions his children including Richard, Jone, John and Elizabeth. He also mentions his siblings Nycholas, Robert and Edith. Edith is married to (unknown) Thomas. He has a legacy for a Thomas Blake of Cow[e]sfi[e]ld which is about three miles away but does not mention relationship. There appear to be two brothers called Thomas Blake at Cowsfild as he mentions Thomas and his brother Thomas.
This will is full of interesting details of family items and an especially touching appeal to take care of one of his brothers (Robert) by the next generation. His wife has died before him and he gives some special items of his wifes to his daughter Elizabeth.
