Yes, on reflection, pecias sounds right.

Sorry for muddying the water!

...and the land of the aforesaid William Symon, John Stabyll, and Peter Fyssher to the north ...
(skipping one line)
to have and to hold the aforesaid land...

Another person is mentioned in the charter but was skipped in the summary.

It says that the lands were formerly held? of and by the gift and feoffment of William Gybson.

I'm not sure of the verb, which I think is the first word after Et nup(er) in line 5.

I think it's probably one of the habeo declension.

With a fresher eye this morning, I think the verb is h(ab)uim(us).

Therefore:

...And formerly/recently we [Barton and Brygys] did have [the lands is understood] to us our heirs and assigns forever of and by the gift and feoffment of William Gybson...

Thankyou, Horsleydown.  There is signifacant information in this document, and now I can roughly sort out who is who.  It is mainly a battle between three Johns, and their place of origin.  William Gybson may be the key.
