      [E]go Thurstanus, concedente et consentiente domino meo rege Eaduuardo, concessi ecclesie Christi in Dorobernia terram patrimonii mei nomine Winebisc, ad opus et uictum monachorum pro salute anime mee et Leofuuare. Primo autem anno quo ista terra ad dominium iam prefate ecclesie Christi peruenerit, monachi eiusdem ecclesie .x. dent ecclesie sancti Augustini que sita est extra ciuitatem Dorobernie, pro salute anime mee et Leofuuare et Æthelgyue. Hec igitur donatio facta est presente eodem rege, domino meo Eaduuardo, et idem confirmantibus: Alfgyua regina Imma, Eadsino archiepiscopo Kantie, Elfrico archiepiscopo Eborace, Alfuuardo episcopo Lundon’, Alfuuino episcopo Winton’ et multis aliis. Si quis hoc donum meum uiolauerit, anathema sit.
