He gives himself and his goods and lands to the will of the said lord, and he has, by his special grace, returned the said lands and tenements to him, which he holds in Scotland; for which he has recently performed homage and an oath of fealty to him. James promises that he will be faithful and loyal to the said king of England and his heirs, kings of England and serve them faithfully against all men.
