1 If cause is bitwixe ony men, and thei
axen iugis, thei schulen &yogh;yue the victorie
of ri&yogh;tfulnesse to him, whom thei perseyuen
to be iust, thei schulen condempne
hym of wickidnesse, whom thei perseyuen
to be wickid.
2 Sotheli if thei seen hym
that synnede, worthi of betyngis, thei
schulen caste him doun, and make to be
betun bifor hem; also the maner of betyngis
schal be for the mesure of synne,
3 so oneli that tho passe not the noumbre
of fourti, lest thi brother be to-rent
viliche bifore thin i&yogh;en, and go awei.
4 Thou schalt not bynde the `mouth of the
oxe tredynge thi fruytis in the corn floor.
5 Whanne britheren dwellen to gidere, and
-- --
oon of hem is deed with out fre children,
the wijf of the deed brother schal not be
weddid to anothir man, but his brothir
schal take hir, and schal reise seed of
his brother.
6 And he schal clepe the firste
gendrid sone `of hir bi the name `of
hym, `that is, of the deed brothir, that
his name be not don awei fro Israel.
7 Forsothe
if he nyle take the wijf of his brother,
which is due to hym bi lawe, the
womman schal go to the &yogh;ate of the citee;
and sche schal axe the grettere men in
birthe, and sche schal seie, `The brother
of myn hosebonde nyle reise seed of his
brother in Israel, nethir wole take me in
to mariage.
8 And anoon thei schulen make
hym to be clepid, and thei schulen axe.
If he answerith, Y nyle take hir to wijf;
9 the womman schal go to hym bifor the
eldre men of Israel, and sche schal take
awei the schoo, and sche schal spete in
to his face, and schal seie, So it schal be
doon to the man, that bildith not `the
hows of his brother;
10 and `the name of

of the man vnschood.
11 If twei men han
strijf bitwixe hem silf, and oon bigynneth
to stryue a&yogh;ens another, and the wijf of
`the tother man wole delyuere hir hosebonde
fro the hond of the strongere man,
and puttith hond, and `takith the schamefast
membris `of hym,
12 thou schalt kitte
awei `the hond of hir, nether thou schalt
be bowid on hir bi ony mercy.
13 Thou
schalt not haue in the bagge dyuerse
wei&yogh;tis,
14 a grettere and a lesse, nether a
buyschel more and lesse schal be in thin
hows.
15 Thou schalt haue a iust wei&yogh;te and
trewe, and an euene buyschel `and trewe
schal be to thee, that thou lyue in myche
-- --
tyme on the lond which thi Lord God
schal &yogh;yue to thee.
16 For the Lord schal
haue hym abhomynable that doith these
thingis, and he wlatith, `ethir cursith, al
vnri&yogh;tfulnesse.
17 Haue thou mynde what
thingis Amalech dide to thee in the weie,
whanne thou &yogh;edist out of Egipt;
18 hou he
cam to thee, and killide the laste men of
thin oost, that saten wery, whanne thou
were disesid with hungur and trauel, and
he dredde not God.
19 Therfor whanne thi
Lord God hath &yogh;oue reste to thee, and
hath maad suget alle naciouns `bi cumpas,
in the lond which he bihi&yogh;te to thee,
thou schalt do awei `the name of hym
vndur heuene; be thou war lest thou for&yogh;ete.
