    • Regnante in perpetuum domino nostro Iesu Christo. Cunctis sophiae studium ferme rimantibus stabili notum constat ratione . quod presentis esentiae periculis incumbantibus et curis euanescentium rerum inopinate crebrescentibus. Humana mortalium rerum cognitio quasi ros minuendo elabitur et obliuioni tantundem traditur . nisi aliqua certa ratione prenotetur . quia non sunt æterna quae hic conspiciuntur sed terrena. ut imbutus sermone tonantis apostolus inquit: Nunc uelut umbra cito sic corpore fugiunt res. Sed decus æternum hoc uisu stat certius omni. Quapropter ego Eadward annuente gratia dei rex Anglorum ceterarumque circumquaque nationum cum consilio atque consensu episcoporum obtimatumque meorum quasdam ruris particulas in diuersis locis possitus id est Trefwurabo æt Trefwaloc .
