And let the priest bring her and set her before the Lord / and let him take holy water in an earthen vessel & of the dust that is in y• floor of the habitation / and put it in to the ⟨p. xij⟩water. And the priest shall set the wife before the Lord and uncover her heed / and put the memorial of the offering in her hands which is the jealousy offering / and y• priest shall have bitter and cursing water in his hand / and he shall conjure her and shall say unto her. If no man have lien with the nether haste gone aside / and defiled thy self behind thy husband / then have thou no harm of this bitter cursing water.
And let the preast brynge her and sett her before the Lorde / and let him take holy water in an erthen vessell & of the dust that is in y• flore of the habyracyon / and put it in to the ⟨p. xij⟩water. And the preast shall set the wyfe before the Lorde and vncouer hir heed / and put the memoryall of the offerynge in hyr handes whiche is the gelousye offerynge / and y• preast shall haue bytter and cursynge water in his hande / and he shall coniure her and shall saye vnto her. Yf no man haue lyen wyth the nether haste gone asyde / and defyled thy selfe behynde thy husbonde / then haue thou no harme of this bytter cursynge water.
But and if thou hast gone aside behind thine husband and art defiled and some other man hath lien with the beside thine husband (and let the priest conjure her with the conjuration of the curse and say unto her) the Lord make the a curse and a conjuration among thy people: so that the Lord make thy thy rot / and thy belly swell and this bitter cursing water goo in to the bowels of the / that thy belly swell and thy •rot•e / and the wife shall say Amen Amen.
