William, by the grace of God King of Scots, to all good men of his whole land, clerics and laics, greeting. Know ye that I have rightly given my firm peace to all who shall come to the fair of Glasgow which I granted to God and Saint Kentegern, and to the burgh of Glasgow, for repairing thither, and there standing, and thence rightly returning, provided they do what they ought to do justly and according to the assise of my burghs and my land.
