Regnante Theo imperpetuum architectorio unus rex habitans in excelsis qui quidem sciencie dona sua ineffabili gracia monstrando indeficienter conspicitur celum ac terram camposque liquentes lucentemque globum lune titanniaque retinens ac custodiens et de secretis celorum glorie humaneque nature misteriis docet id est reducens animas ad veram beatitudinem jubente terribili voce reinvitaverit ideo vere divicie sunt que numquam decipiunt habentem nec in ipsa morte amittuntur sed plus habundant dum cernitur quod amatur . Qua propter Ego Edmundus rex Anglorum ceterarumque gencium in circuitu persistencium gubernator et rector mee dilecte conjugi vocitamine Ethelfled devocionis ejus solercia dignatus sum impartiri . C . mansas in illo loco ubi jam dudum sollicole illius regionis nomen imposuerunt . at Domerham . cum . Mertone . et Pentringtone . tali autem tenore ho prefate munificencie munus tradendo concessi ut possideat et firmiter teneat usque ad ultimum cursum vite sue cum omnibus utensilibus que Deus celorum in ipso telluris gramine creavit tam in modicis causis quam in magnis . campis . paschuis . pratis . silvis . donans donabo libertatem et postquam humani generis fragilitatem deseruerit et ad desiderabilem jocunditatis viam per graciam superni judicis adierit pro communi nostrarum erepcione animarum et abstercione piaculorum ad ecclesiam vetustam beate Dei genitricis Marie in monasterio . Glastingensi . derelinquat precipiens in nomine sancte trinitatis ut nemo successorum nostrorum regum vel alicujus gradus vel unius pedis longitudinem de supradicto ruro ab illa sancta ecclesia ullatenus auferat . Sed fixum hoc donum et monasterialem usum permaneat . Si quis vero mee largitatis tradicionem conservare adaugere voluerit adaugeat omnipotens Deus qui prosperos dies in presenti seculo et in futuro cum justis premia eterne felicitatis concedat . Si quis ergo tunc non utinam tam audax ac necgligens fiat qui meum donum infringere seu imitare presumat anathema et expers celestis regni sit nisi digne ante reparacionem fragilis corporis et eterni spiritus emendaverit hec predicta terra libera ab omni regali servicio maneat . Excepto expedicione arcisque constructione pontisve quod omnibus commune est . ˝is beth ˇa landmere of Domerham . at ˇare aissh' at penegeforde from ˇan stede endlangbrokes to ˇis erlisford of ˇan ford' to brinesforde and so endelang mereborne to ˇare heghe brugge and soa endelang ˇis elde weyes to brocliford . and end lang brocliford to wulewe and so endelang ˇer wite lak' up on kingberwes and ˇanne rigt up an brokhurste and ende lang ˇare lake to ther hide . of lospushale and so bi talayate an ˇanne to ˇar dich bi weste widemere and soa ende lang rigges to upiate and from upyate ende lang dich to wideyate ant ˇanne to ˇan gore and ˇanne so to cotelesburgh' and ˇanne so to ther seuenestrete and of ˇer seuenestrete to coteleshed and soa endelang ˇer strete dich to wilteneweie and ende langweyes to ˇan langeberghe ant ˇanne rigt in the wide dich and of ˇer dich ouer knolle to acclei and so to hedstokke and ˇanne to ˇes drakenhorde in on ˇar siderer and so ende lang ˇare dich to ˇan frimde dich and so in on ˇe mere and of ˇan mere in on ˇan landschere stok and of ˇare stokke in on coppenthorn and ˇanne to ˇan ellenebem and so walke stille and ˇanne to prestes yate endlangweies up on holebroke hulle and so to ˇe sladisheuede of ˇe sladisheuede in to ˇan aissh' . to pennegaford ˇare ˇer ongunne yat . stant in wiltschire dorseteschire and hampteschire.
