Sciant presentes et futuri quod ego Ricardus Testard dedi et concessi et hac presenti carta mea confirmavi Deo et Altari Beate Marie in ecclesia Westmonasterii, in puram et perpetuam elemosinam, ad inven[i]enda luminaria coram predicto altari duodecim denariatas quieti redditus de terra quam Odo aurifaber de me tenet in villa Westmonasterii et que fuit Andree de Scaccario. Ita quod custos prefati altaris qui pro tempore fuerit percipiet singulis annis per manum Odonis prefati vel heredum suorum de predicta terra absque contradictione et sine retinemento vel calumpnia mei vel heredum meorum prefatos duodecim denarios ad duos terminos anni in perpetuum, scilicet: ad Pascham vj denarios, et ad Festum Sancti Michaelis vj denarios; et libere et quiete, integre et plenarie, pacifice et sine diminutione predictum quietum redditum duodecim denariorum recipiet tanquam ex dono meo puram et perpetuam elemosinam. Si vero predictus Odo vel heredes sui prefatum redditum xij denariorum custodi predicti altaris non reddiderit, licebit predicto custodi altaris prefati predictam terram distringere et namas retinere, donec ei totus prefatus redditus duodecim denariorum integre persolvatur. Ego vero Ricardus Testard' et heredes mei prefato altari Beate Marie totum predictum quietum redditum duodecim denariorum ut puram et perpetuam elemosinam warantizabimus in perpetuum contra omnes homines et omnes feminas. Ut autem hec mea donatio et concessio rata sit et stabilis in perpetuum earn presenti scripto et sigilli mei appositione roboravi.
