¶ Temporall and cyuile ordinaunces.
A These are the lawes whyche
thou shalt set before them. If
thou bye a seruaunte that is
an Hebrue, syxe yeres he shal
serue, and in the seuenth he
shall goo out fre payinge nothynge.
If he came alone, he
shall goo out alone. And yf he came maried,
hys wyfe shall goo oute with hym: And yf
hys master haue geuen hym a wyfe and she
haue borne hym sonnes or daughters: then
the wyfe and hyr children shalbe hir masters
and he shall goo oute alone. And yf the seruaunte
saye: I loue my master, my wyfe
and my chyldren, I wyll not goo oute fre.
Hys master shall brynge hym vnto the iudges,
and sett hym to the doore or the dorepost
and hys master shall bore hys eare thorowe
with a nawle, and he shalbe hys seruaunte
for euer.
And yf a man sell hys daughter to be a
seruaunte: she shall not goo oute as the men
seruauntes doo. If she also please not hyr
master, and he geueth her to noman to wyfe,
then shall he let hyr go fre:
B to sell her vnto
a straunge nacyon shall he haue no power,
seinge he despysed her. If he haue promysed
her vnto hys sonne to wyfe, he shall deale
with her as men do with theyr daughters.
And yf he take hym another wyfe, yet hyr
fode, hyr rayment and dutie of mariage shal
he not mynishe. And yf he do not these thre
vnto her, then shall she goo out fre and paye
no money. noteHe that smyteth a man that he
dye, shalbe slayne for it. If a man laye not awayte
but God delyuer hym into hys hande,
then I wyll poynte the a place whether
he shall fle. If a man come presumpteously
vpon hys neyghboure to slee him with gyle,
thou shalt take him fro myne note alter that he

dye. He that smyteth hys father or hys mother,
let hym be slayne for it.
noteHe that stealeth a man and selleth him
(yf it be proued vpon hym) shall be slayne
for it.
noteAnd he that cursseth hys father or mother,
shall be put to deth for it. If men stryue
together ∧ one smyte another with a stone or
with hys fyste, and he dye not, but lyeth in
bedd: yf he ryse agayne and walke without
vpon hys staffe, then shall he that smote him
go quyte: saue onely he shall bere hys charges
for lesynge hys tyme, and shall paye for
hys healynge.
C And yf a man smyte hys seruaunte or his
mayde with a rodd, and they dye vnder hys
hande, it shalbe auenged in dede. And yf they
continue a daye or two, it shall not be auenged,
for they are hys money. Yf men stryue ∧
hurte a woman with chylde, so that hyr frute
departe from her, and yet no misfortune
foloweth: then shall he be mersed, accordynge
as the womans husband wyll laye to his
charge, and he shall paye as the dayes men
appoynte hym. noteAnd yf any misfortune folowe,
then shall he paye lyfe for lyfe note eye for
eye, toth for toth, hande for hande, fote for
fote, burning for burninge, wo&ubar;de for wo&ubar;de,
strype for strype.
And yf a man smyte hys seruaunte or his
mayde in the eye that it peryshe, he shall lett
th&ebar; goo fre for the eyes sake. Also yf he smyte
oute hys seruauntes or hys maydes toth, he
shall let them go oute fre for the tothes sake.
If an oxe gore a man or a woman that they
dye, then the note oxe shalbe stoned, and hys
fleshe shall not be eaten: but the owner of the
oxe shall go quyte.
D If the oxe were wont to pusshe in tyme
past, and it hath bene told hys master: and he
hath not kept hym, but that he hath kylled a
man or a woman: then the oxe shalbe stoned
and hys owner shall dye also &rhand; If there
be sett to hym a summe of money, then he
shall geue for the delyueraunce of hys lyfe,
whatsoeuer is put vnto hym. And whether
he hath gored a sonne or hurte a daughter,
he shalbe serued after the same maner.
But yf it be a seruaunt or a mayde that the
oxe hath gored, then he shall geue vnto theyr
master .xxx. &rhand; sycles, and the oxe shall be
stoned.
If a man open a well or dygge a pytt and
couer it not, and an oxe or an asse fall therin,
the owner of the pyt shall make it good, and
geue money vnto theyr master, and the dead
beast shalbe hys.
If one mans oxe hurte another that he
dye: then they shall sell the lyue oxe and deuyde
the money, and the deed oxe also they
shall deuyde. Or yf it be know&ebar; that the oxe
hath vsed to pusshe in tymes past, and hys
master hath not kepte him, he shall paye oxe
for oxe, and the deed shalbe his awne.
