SAnctissimo in Christo Patri, Innocentio Dei gratia Summo Pontifici, Alexander eadem gratia Rex Scotiae, Comes Patricius, Comes de Stratherne, (with 47. more Earles and Nobles therein named) salutem, & debitam cum omni honore re∣verentiam. Sanctitati vestrae significamus, nos Sacramentum corporaliter praesti∣tisse, coram Venerabili Patre Ottone, Tituli Sancti Nicholai in carcere Tulliano, Dia∣cono Cardinali, in Anglia, Scotia, & Hibernia, tunc Apostolicae sedis Legato, ac Chartam nostram confecisse, quae ita incipit: Sciant praesentes & futuri, quod ita convenit in praesentia Domini Ottonis Sancti Nicholai, &c. Quae Charta penes Do∣minum Regem Angliae & nos remanet chyrographata. Item aliam: quae sic incipit: Ad omnium vestrum notitiam volumus pervenire. Cum ex forma praecedentium nostrarnm pateat obligationum, subjecimus nos Iurisdictioni vestrae, ut nos et haeredes nostros per censuram Ecclesiasticam possitis coercere, si aliquo tempore contra memoratam pacem vencrimus: Etsi non∣nunquam contingit, quod quidam nostrum, omnes, vel unus, contravenire temere praesumerent, vel praesumere nituntur, & ex hoc tam animabus nostris quam haere∣dum nostrorum grave posset generare periculum, & corporibus nostris & rebus non minimum immineret detrimentum: Sanctae Paternitati vestrae supplicamus, quate∣nus alicui Suffraganeorum Archiepiscopi Cantuariensis detis in mandatis, ut nos haeredesque nostros ad praefatae pacis observationem compellat, prout in instrumentis inde confectis plenius continetur. Alias, super eadem pace, quod Canonicum fuerit, authoritate vestra statuat, con∣tradictores, &c. Et ad istius petitionis nostrae consummationem, praesenti senpto sigilla nostra apposuimus. Haec autem cum consummata fuissent, amici facti sunt, ut sperandum est, indissolubiles, Domini Rex Angliae, & Rex Scotiae, absque simulatione & verborum scrupulosa contentione.
