Riffing on some of the Sawyer Charters for something with an Old English look and feel:
We, Tindal and Alberic, Consuls of the Eastern Empire, took care to commit to writing this our gift and endowment to Thomas of Mountain Freehold, our most faithful and diligent servant, so that our words and deeds should not be negated with the passage of time, either through the lack of care of our successors or through some kind of envy or dishonesty.
