William, by divine mercy humble servant of the Church of St Andrews, wishes to all sons of Holy Mother Church eternal salvation in the Lord: We wish it to come to the attention of you all that we, with the assent of the prior and the chapter of St Andrews, for the improvement of the archdeaconry of St Andrews, have given and granted to Master Laurence, archdeacon of St Andrews, and to his successors for ever, the church of Tarvit with all its rightful pertinents, free and quit from synodal dues and all episcopal dues and exactions. And that this our donation should remain secure for ever, we have caused it to be confirmed by the application of our seal and the witness of the present document. With theses witnesses: Andrew, dean of Lothian; Andrew of Moray; Gervase de Neaufles; Peter and Edward, chaplains; Master Michael; Master Stephen; Richard the chaplain; Richard the chamberlain; Nicholas of Coldingham; and many others.
