  • ˘is is hwitan cirican land boc. Donum Hamele comities 7 restitutio perditi ab Edwardo rege . Regnante imperpetuum domino Deoque nostro Iesu Christo . Cum omnis terrena potestas sicut flos cadere uisa est . et sicut fenum arescere . dicente apostolo . 'Nichil intulimus in hunc mundum uerum nec auferre quid possumus' . ideo caducis rebus eterna premia mercanda sunt . Quapropter Hemele comes dedit illam terram ubi ab incolis Hwitan cyrice nominatur . hoc est . l . manentes in honore sancte Trinitatis et omnium electorum eius familie sancti Petri . que est in Wintonie ciuitate in hereditatem sempiternam habendam et possidendam intus ad refectorium . Deinde rogauerunt episcopi eiusdem familie eam accommodandam illis et ipsi ita fecere . Postea uero non potuerunt impetrare ab episcopis . Post longum uero tempus precati sunt . Eadwardum regem propter Dei amorem et eiusdem familie . et propter amorem parentum eius qui in eodem loco sunt dediti sepulture ut faceret eis iudicium rectum propter suam misericordiam de ipsa terra . Tunc idem Angul Saxonum rex . necnon et eiusdem familie episcopus . Fri∂estan . recordati sunt terrene potestatis quia misera est et fragilis atque per interualla temporum motabilis . dedit eis illam terram in eandem libertatem qua data est a Hemele comite . 'cum siluis 7 campis necnon 7 pratis . pascuis . piscatoriis 7 aucupiis cum omnibus ad se pertinentibus' . Ea conditione ut nullus episcopus acciperet eam . nec etiam ipsa familia eam alicui dare presumeret . quamdiu homo super terram aut mundus cursum suum per diuersa temporum spatia peregerit . Hac ergo causa rescripsimus nouiter istum hereditarium librum nescio quo casu perdita antiquum hereditarium librum non habebamus . Si quis autem post hoc antiquum librum inueniat et contra hanc nostram diffinitionem in propatulo adduxerit ; ab omni christianitate extraneus sit . et ad nichilum ualeat . Hec autem terra libera est ab omni regali et seculari seruitute necnon ab episcopali usu præter expeditione pontis arcisue constructione . Si quis uero regum seu episcoporum de sacre ordine uel laico'rum' . presumptionis spiritu temptauerit hanc donationis mee kartulam auferre seu minuere . sciat se unusquisque rationem redditurum in die iudicii secundum opus suum et secundum eius rectitudinem . Si quis uero beniuolentia sit preditus hoc roborare ac defendere studuerit uoti compos ipse alti throni gloriam auscultat indefecta perhennitate cum faustis angelorum agminibus . Hec cartula scripta est . Anno ab incarnatione domini . dccccviiii . Indictione . xii . Manente hec cartula in sua firmitate tempore perhenni . sub testibus quorum hic nomina scripta reperiuntur . Ego Eadweard Rex hanc restaurationem a me factam signum sancte crucis propria manu scribendo firmaui . Ego Plegmund Archiepiscopus mellifluam donationem prefati regis subscripsi cum signaculo sancte crucis .
