    • + Ego Eadwardus rex manifesto in isto breui omnibus Dei amicis cum testimonio Liuingi episcopus quod Leofricus comes habet donatam illam terram de Heamtun in monasterio de Eouesham, et ego uolo ut illa terra iaceat in illo monasterio, hoc sunt quinque hydae tam plene et tam firme sicut aliqua terra quae melius iacet in illo monasterio. Ego uolo etiam ut ille sanctus locus qui diu stetit desertus habeat suam libertatem sicuti melius et plenius habuit.
