  • In nomine Dei summi et altissimi Iesu Christi. Egregius agonista sermocinatus est in scripturis diuinis, ‘Omnia que uidentur temporalia sunt, que autem non uidentur eterna’. Iccirco superflua utentibus diuinus sermo ut supra taxati sumus terribiliter premonet ut, huius seculi caduca contempnentes spiritaliaque imitantes, celestia properemus ad regna. Quam ob rem ego Eadmundus, desiderio regni celestis exardens, fauente superno numine basyleos Anglorum multarumque gentium in circuitu persistentium, cuidam adoptiuo fideli meo ministro nomine Æþelere, ob illius amabile obsequium ei libenter largiendo quinque mansas ibidem ubi uulgares prisco more mobilique relatione uocitant æt Westtune, eatenus ut uita comite tam fidus mente quam subditus operibus mihi placabile obsequium prebeat. Et meum post obitum cuicunque meorum amicorum uoluero eadem fidelitate immobilis obediensque fiat. Sicque omnes posteriores prefatam terram possidentes in hoc decreto fideliter persistant, sicuti decet ministro ut fidelitatem custodiat coram Deo et omnibus electis eius, cum pratis pascuisque, necnon et siluis siluarumque densitatibus, donans donabo libertatem, ut hec prospere possideat ac eternaliter teneat dum huius labentis eui cursum transeat illesus atque uitalis spiritus in corruptibili carne inhereat. Post se autem ueluti affirmauimus cuicumque uoluerit heredi derelinquat. Fiat etenim prefata terra ob omni seruili iugo libera, cum omnibus sibi recte pertinentibus, exceptis his tribus, expeditione, pontis arcisue coedificatione. Si quis uero atri demonis face inflammatus contra hoc nostrum decretum, quod neutrum aut optamus uel desideramus, machinari infringereque aliquid uoluerit, sciat se trusum sub unda Stigei fluminis atque cum illis nefandis legem Dei blasphemantibus in picea custodia tetre tortionis mancipatum, nisi prius Christi cohortatione compulsus ad satisfactionem uita comite festinanter peruenerit.
