     Que o dito Lourenço, ferreiro, que faça seysçentos ferros de quatro pees en longo et de cada parte hua argolla grande et grosa [...] et que cada ferro teña as argollas ben saldadas, por que se algua das soldadoras falleçese, toda a obra se perdería.

     That the aforementioned Lourenzo, smith, must make six hundred iron items, each one four-feet long and having at both extremes a thick and large ring [...] and every item must have its rings correctly welded, because if any of the welds failed, the whole work would be lost.
