[The Pentateuch]

When Judah saw her / he thought it had been an whore / because she had covered her face. And turned to her unto the way and said / come I pray the / let me lye with thee / for he knew not that it was his daughter in law. And she said what wilt thou give me / for to lye with me? Than said he / I will send the a kid from the flock. She answered / Than give me a pledge till thou send it. Than said he / what pledge shall I give thee? And she said: thy signet / thy neck lace / and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave it her and lay by her / and she was with child by him. And she gat her up and went and put her mantel from her / and put on her widows raiment again.

When Iuda sawe her / he thought it had bene an hoore / because she had couered hyr face. And turned to her vnto the waye and sayde / come I praye the / let me lye with the / for he knewe not that it was his doughter in lawe. And she sayde what wylt thou gyue me / for to lye with me? Thā sayde he / I will sende the a kydd frō the flocke. She answered / Than geue me a pledge till thou sende it. Than sayde he / what pledge shall I geue the? And she sayde: thy sygnett / thy necke lace / and thy staffe that is in thy hande. And he gaue it her and lay by her / and she was with child by him. And she gatt her vp and went and put her mantell from her / ād put on hir widowes rayment agayne.

And Judas sent the kid by his neighbour of O•ollam / for to fetch out his pledge again from the wives hand. But he found her not. Than asked he the men of the same place saying: where is the whore that sat at Enaim in the way? And they said: there was no whore here. And he came to Judah again saying: I can not find her / and also the men of the place said: that there was no whore there. And Judah said: let her take it to her / lest we be shamed: for I sent the kid & thou couldest not find her.

And Iudas sent the kydd by his neybure of O•ollam / for to fetch out his pledge agayne from the wifes hande. But he fownde her not. Than asked he the men of the same place saynge: where is the whoore that satt at Enaim in the waye? And they sayde: there was no whoore here. And he came to Iuda agayne saynge: I can not fynde her / and also the men of the place sayde: that there was no whoore there. And Iuda sayde: let her take it to her / lest we be shamed: for I sente the kydd & thou coudest not fynde her.
