BOC TO WESTBYRIG .

REGNANTE IN PERPETUVM [sic] DOMINO NOSTRO IESU CHRISTO . QUI mundi monarchiam sua semper uirtute gubernat . Anno ab eius incarnatione . dccoo . xxoiiioi .Indictione . iia .regnante beornulfo rege merciorum . factum est pontificale et synodale conciliabulum . in loco qui dicitur clofeshos praesedente ibi rege praefato . Ac uenerando uiro wulfredo archiepiscopo illi conuentui regente . illic omnes episcopi et abbates et uniuersi mercensium principes congregati adessent . inter alia plura colloquia aliqua contentio allata est inter heaberhtum episcopum et illam familiam ęt beorclea de hereditate ęželrici filio ęželmund . hoc est monasterium quod uocatur westburh . Habuit autem episcopus ante nominatus terram illam . cum libris . sicut episcopus ante precepit ut ad weogornensem ęcclesiam redderetur . Statuta est . atque decreta ab archiepiscopo . et ab omni sancta synodo illa sententia . ut episcopus qui monasterium et agellum cum libris haberet . cum iuramento dei seruorum presbyterorum diaconorum et plurimorum monachorum sibi in propriam possessionem terram illam cum iuramento iurasset et ita finita et proscripta illa contentione coram episcopo . post . xxx . noctes illud iuramentum . to westmynstre deducatum est  . Quapropter siquis hunc agrum ab illa ęcclesia in cestre nititur euellere contra decreta canonum . sciat se facere . quia sancti canones decernunt . quicquid sancta synodus cum catholico archiepiscopo suo adiudicauerit nullomodo fractum uel irritum esse faciendum . hęc sunt nomina testium .
