Matthew and his heirs are to annually render ten shillings at two times [of the year], viz.: half at Pentecost and the other half at the feast of St Martin in winter nearest following, without any exaction, custom or demand. And if it happens that the master of Soutra, or his attorneys at the house, come to Matthew and his heirs asking for, or complaining about, the ferme, Matthew and his heirs will manage to provide honest sustenance (i.e. room and board) until what time Matthew and his heirs may satisfy the ferme to them, without any opposition. The master and convent promise warrandice.
