[The Pentateuch]

If a man take a wife and when he hath lien with her hate her and lay shameful things unto her charge and bring up an evil name upon her and say: I toke this wife, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then let the father of the damsel and the mother ⟨image 358⟩bring forth the tokens of the damsels virginity, unto the elders of the city, even unto the gate. And let the damsels father say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife and he hateth her: and lo, he layeth shameful things unto her charge saying, I found not thy daughter a maid. And yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginity. And let them spread the vesture before the elders off the city. Then let the elders of that city take that man and chastise him and merce him in an hundred sycles of silver and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a maid in Israel. And she shall be his wife, and he may not put her away all his days. But and if the thing be of a surety that the damsel be not found a virgin, let them bring her unto the door of her fathers house, and let the men of that city stone her with stones to de•th, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her fathers house. And so thou shalt put evil away from thee.

And let the damsels father saye vnto the elders, I gaue my doughter vnto this man to wife and he hateth her: and loo, he layeth shamefull thinges vnto hir charge saynge, I founde not thy doughter a mayde. And yet these ar the tokens of my doughters virginite. And let them sprede the vesture before the elders off the citie. Then let the elders of that citie take that man and chastyce him and merce him in an hundred sycles of syluer and geue them vnto the father of the damsell, because he hath brought vpp an euell name vppon a mayde in Israel. And she shalbe his wife, and he may not put her awaye all his dayes. But and yf the thinge be of a suertie that the damsell be not founde a virgen, let them brynge her vnto the dore of hir fathers housse, and let the men of that citie stone her with stones to deth, because she hath wrought folye in Israel, to playe the whore in hir fathers housse.
