Anno vero ab incarnatione domini nostri Jhesu Christi . dccco . xxiiiio . Indictione autem . ii . regnante Beornuulfo rege Merciorum factum est pontificale et sinodale conciliabulum in loco qui dicitur Clofeshoas. Præsidente ibi rege præfato . ac venerando viro Wulfredo archiepiscopo . illo conventu regente ac moderante illic omnes episcopi nostri et abbates et universi Mercentium principes et multi sapientissimi viri congregati adessent . ibi in alia plura colloquia aliqua contentio allata est. Inter Heaberhtum episcopum et illam familiam æt Berclea de hereditate Æ∂elrici filii Æ∂elmundi hoc est monasterium quod nominatur Westburhg . Habuit autem episcopus ante nominatus terram illam cum libris . sicut Æ∂elricus ante præcepit ut ad Weogernensem aecclesiam redderetur . Statuta est autem atque decreta ab archiepiscopo et ab omni sancta sinodo illa consententia . ut episcopus qui monasterium et agellum cum libris haberet . cum juramento Dei servorum presbiterorum diaconorum et plurimorum monachorum sibi in propriam possessionem terram illam cum adjuratione adjurasset . Et ita finita et proscripta illa contentione coram episcopo post . xxx . noctes illud juramentum to Westmynstre deducatum est . Qua propter siquis hunc agrum ab illa aecclesia in ceastre nititur evellere contra decreta sacrorum canonum sciat se facere quia sancti canones decernunt quicquid sancta synodus universalis cum catholico archiepiscopo suo adjudicaverit nullo modo fractum vel irritum esse faciendum . Haec autem gesta sunt .
