After these things have been done, each of the parties shall choose two faithful men and the king shall join to them another, and these five shall see and cause the premises to be done at the expense of the abbot of Waltham, and they shall afterwards cause any injury done by the sluices aforesaid in the future to the mill or meadow to be amoved by royal authority, after it have been sworn to (prestito sacramento).
