Supervisores vero praedicti et caeteri executores remunerarentur secundum merita laborum suorum per discretionem duorum executorum dictae administrationi inc.u.mbentium. Et voluit quod si quis praedictorum per eum superius nominatorum dictos Johannem Paston et Thomam Howes in officio suo hujusmodi seu circa administrationem bonorum ejusdem defuncti quoquomodo impediverit, turbaverit, vexaverit, molestaverit, vel inquietaverit, aut aliquid praedictorum facere praesumpserit vel conatus fuerit, ab administratione bonorum suorum omnino removeatur, et si quid praemissorum ante susceptionem administrationis hujusmodi attemptaverit, ipsum ad administrationem hujusmodi nullatenus admitti voluit et declaravit.

Datum anno Domini, mense, die, loco supradictis.
