21 (and let the preaste coniure her with the coniuracyon of the curse and saye vnto her) the Lorde make the a curse and a coniuracyon amonge thy people: so tha t the Lorde make thy thye rotte and thy bely swell 22 and thys bytter cursynge water goo in to the bowels of the that thy bely swell and thy thye rotte and the wyfe shall saye Amen Amen. 23 And the preast shall wrytte this curse in a byll and wasshe it o ut in the bytter water. 24 And when the cursynge water ys yn her that it is bytter 25 then let the preast take the gelousy offerynge out of the wyfes hande and waue it before the Lorde and brynge it vnto the altare: 26 and he shall take an handefull off the memory all offerynge and burne it apon the alter and then make her dryncke the water 27 and when he hath made her drynke the water. Yf she be defyled and haue trespased agenst her husbond then shall the cursynge water goo in to her and be so bitter yt hir bely shall swell and hir thye shall rotte and she shalbe a curse amonge hir people. 28 And yf she be not defyled but is cleane then she shall haue no harme but that she maye conceaue. 29 This is the lawe of gelousye when a wyfe goeth a syde behynde hyr husbonde ad is defyled 30 or when the spirite of gelousye cometh apon a man so that he is gelouse ouer his wife: then he shall bringe her before the Lorde and the preast shall ministre all this lawe vnto her 31 and the man shalbe giltlesse and the wyfe shall bere hir synne.
