¶ The .xxx. Chapter. ¶ Of vowes when they shalbe kept and wh&ebar; not.

A   And Moses spake vnto the heades of the trybes of the chyldr&ebar; of Israell sayinge: thys is the thyng which the Lord comm&abar;deth. 05Q0263If a man vowe vnto the Lorde or swere an othe and bynde hys soule, he shall not go backe with hys worde: but shal fulfyll all that proceadeth out of his mouth.

If a damsell vowe a vowe vnto the Lord and bynde her selfe beyinge in her fathers house and vnmaried. If her father heare her vowe ∧ bond which she hath made vpon her soule, ∧ holde hys peace therto: then all her vowes ∧ bondes which she hath made vpon her soule shall stande in effecte. But ∧ yf her B   father forbyd her the same daye þt; he heareth it, none of her vowes nor bondes whych she hath made vpon her soule shalbe of value, ∧ the Lorde shall forgeue her, because her father forbade her.

If she had an husband when she vowed or pronounced oughte out of her lyppes wherwith she bonde her soule, and her husbande hearde it and helde hys peace there at the same daye he hearde it: Then her vowes and her bondes wherwyth she bounde her soule, shall stande in effecte. But and yf her husbande forbade her thesame day that þe; heard it, then hath he made her vowe whyche she had vpon her of none effecte, and that also which she pronounced &wt; her lyppes wherwyth she bounde her soule, and the lord shal forgeue her.

C   The vowe of a wyddowe and of her that is deuorced, and all that they haue bounde their soules wyth all, shall stande in effecte wyth them.

If she vowed in her husbandes house or bounde her soule with an oth, ∧ her husband heard it and helde hys peace and forbade her not: then al her vowes ∧ boundes wherwith she bound her soule, shall stande. But yf her husband disanulled them thesame daye that he heard them, then nothyng þt; proceded out of her lippes in vowes ∧ boundes wherwith she bounde her soule shall stande in effecte: for her husbande hath loused them. And the Lord shal forgeue her.

All vowes and othes that bynde to humble the soule, maye her husbande stablyshe or breake. D   But yf her husbande holde hys peace from one day vnto another, then he stablysheth al her vowes and bondes whyche she had vpon her, because he helde his peace thesame day that he heard them. And yf he afterward breake them, he shal beare her sinne hym selfe.

These are the ordynaunces whyche the Lord commaunded Moses, betwene a man and hys wyfe, and betwene the father ∧ hys daughter, beyinge a damsell in her fathers house.
