Et interim si Milo Comes Hereford voluerit aliquem alium de suis filiis, qui sanus sit, in loco Mathieli filii sui ponere, recipietur.
Et postquam guerra finita fuerit et Robertus Comes Gloecestrie et Milo Comes Hereford terras suas et sua recta rehabuerint reddet Robertus Comes Gloecestrie Miloni Comiti Herefordie filium suum. Et hinc de probis hominibus utriusque comitis considerabuntur et capientur obsides et securitates de amore ipsorum comitum tenendo imperpetuum.
Et de hac conventione amoris Rogerus filius Comitis Hereford affidavit et juravit Comiti Gloecestrie quod patrem suum pro posse suo tenebit; Et si Comes Hereford inde vellet exire, Rogerus filius suus, inde illum requireret et inde illum corrigeret. Et si Comes Hereford se inde erigere nollet, servicium ipsius Rogeri filii sui prorsus perdet, donec se erga Comitem Gloecestrie erexisset.
Et de hac conventione ex parte Comitis Hereford sunt hii sui homines obsides erga Comitem Gloecestrie et per sacramenta; hoc modo, quod si Comes Hereford de hac conventione exiret, dominum suum Comitem Hereford requirerent ut se erga Comitem Gloecestrie erigeret. Et si infra xl dies se nollet erga Comitem Gloecestrie erigere se Comiti Gloecestrie liberarent ad faciendum de illis suum velle, vel ad illos retinendum in suo servicio donec illos quietos clamaret, vel ad illos ponendos ad legalem redemptionem, ita ne terram perdent. Et quod legalem recordationem de hac conventione in Curia facerent si opus esset, Robertus Corbet, Willelmus Mansel, Hugo de la Hese.
