Subjoined to the deed is a declaration, in Latin, of which the 
following is a translation. 
“We, William Wykeham, Mayor of the City of Bristol, and John Snyg, 
Sheriff of the same, to all and each who may see the above deed, hereby signify 
that the aforesaid James Terumbere came before us in the exchange, or place of 
common audience, situated near the High Cross at Bristol aforesaid, and with 
much urgency requested that we would affix the seal of our office to the above
