And also protested that the aforesaid dissolution and erection might in no way be prejudicial to any right or title the said Sir George has to any other lands or teinds lying within the said abbacy and barony of Coldingham and sheriffdom of Berwick, but that the same may likewise remain to him good and valid in themselves, notwithstanding of the said dissolution and erection in favour of the said John Stewart as said is.
