Neminem quippe in mortali solo quamvis universam cosmi seriem quisque sollerti mentis acumine perlustret . expertem repperiet debite mortis extitisse . Illamque juste severitatis sententiam protoplasti prevaricationis noxam delatam evasisse . Tamen pii conditoris arbitrio constat illiusque miseratione superna conceditur . quemquam potis esse imis alta terrenis cælestia caducis sine fine mansura capescere . Quapropter ego Æˇelstanus . nodante Dei gratia basileos Anglorum et equæ totius Brittanniæ orbis curagulus . enucleatis istis omnibus et fervore celestis patriæ exardens . libenter perpetuali libertate tribuendo condonavi .

Et postquam universitatis viam huius seculi transierit . Ceu supradiximus in æternam hereditatem cuicumque sibi heredi voluerit . perenniter relinquat . Fiat etenim prefata terra ab omni servili jugo libera . cum omnibus sibi recte pertinentibus exceptis his tribus expeditione . pontis arcisvæ coedificatione . Qui hoc jus donationis augendo amplificando satagerint . augeat amplificetque cunctiparens genitor in hoc presenti vitam illorum et inter celibes beati felicesque sine fine in æterna doxa letentur . Denique vero si quis nobis non optantibus nostrum hoc donum violari fraudulenter perpetrando consenserit . Consideret hinc se die ultima judicii coram Deo rationem redditurum atque cum reprobis quibus dicitur 'Discedite a me maledicti in ignem eternum' 1 ; Pænis atrocibus se esse passurum . si non antea corporea lamentatione emendaverit . Istis terminibus predicta terra circumgyrata esse videtur . ˝is syndon ˇa land ge mæro to Drocenesforda .
