For the faithful observance of the premises without fraud a bodily oath was taken on both sides, to wit that Master Thomas de Sudington took oath for the soul of the king, and the count in person in the presence of Master Thomas, who was specially sent for this purpose, took similar bodily oath upon the gospels. In testimony whereof the king and the count have interchangeably put their seals to this deed made in the manner of an indenture (ciroyraph?) remaining in possession of both parties.
