Additionally, the monks granted to Reginald for the whole time of his life, four chalders of wheat every year from the priory of Lesmahagow at two times (viz. two chalders at the feast of Saint Martin in winter and two chalders at the feast of the purification of the blessed Mary, without any delay), along with the honest sustenance of him and one servant in the victuals in their monasteries of Kelso or Lesmahagow. And after the death of Reginald, the abbot and convent will be free and immune from the procuration of wheat, but his heirs will render twenty shillings of sterling every year in perpetuity at the same place and times. The abbot and convent promise warrandice.
