Hello Patricia, Easy as pie. The contract was drawn up by notary Audouart. If you subscribe to QenealogieQuebec, you can view the original in the Drouin notaries database, Audouart dit Saint-Germain, Guillaume (1657-1658), images d1p_1659B0691.jpg and d1p_1659B0692.jpg as well as a handy transcription at image d1p_1659B0693.jpg The telling lines are the last two.
