  • Su∂ Niwetune. ˘is his ˇare landa boc ˇe Eadgar cyng gebocode Gode and Sancta Marian into Wiltune, swa he hy ær forlet to Wulf∂ri∂e, him to ecere alysednesse. Omnium jura regnorum celestium atque terrestrium, claustra quoque infernalium, dumtaxat divinis Dei nutibus subiecta sunt. Quapropter cunctis sanum sapientibus satagendum est toto mentis conamine, ut prævideant qualiter tormenta valeant evadere infernalia et celestis vitæ gaudia concedente Christo Jesu concendere. Hoc Eadgar rex Anglorum cum Norˇhymbra regimine, ac progenie Paganorum Brettonumque prosapia sublimiter roboratus, sagaciter intelligens secum tractat, concedens largiflue lucrum cosmi, Christicolis ut choris angelicis feliciter collocetur. Huius rei gratia Rex præfatus rura quæ olim Wulf∂ry∂e temporaliter concesserat, Domino nostri Jesu Christo ejusque genitrici Mariæ, ad usus sanctimonialium in Wiltune degentium, eterna largitus est dapsilitate, uti ecclesiæ Mariæ genetricis Domini nostri Jesu Christi consecratæ cum omnibus utensilibus, pratis videlicet, pascuis, silvis, perpetuo deserviant. Prædictæ telluris nomina hæc sunt: Niwantun, Scearntun, Defereal, Babbanstoc, Frystesfeld, Hwætinc. Sint autem hæc rura omni terrenæ servitutis iugo libera, tribus exceptis, rata videlicet expeditione, pontis arcisve restauratione. Si quis igitur hanc nostram donationem in aliud quam constituimus transferre voluerit, privatus consortio sanctæ Dei ecclesiæ, in æternis barathi incendiis lugubris iugiter cum Iuda Christi proditore eiusque complicibus puniatur, si non satisfactione emendaverit congrua quod contra nostrum deliquit decretum. His autem metis præfata rura hinc inde girantur. ˝is sint ˇare .X. hida landgemære to Niwantune.
