And I suppose that to this is to be referred the law, which is given concerning pawns or pledges: If thou 1hast taken thy neighbours garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it him again before the Sun be set. For that is his only covering: that is, it is the garment wherewith he covereth his flesh, and wherein he sleepeth. For it shall come to pass, that if he cry to me, I will hear him: because I am merciful. Again, Thou shalt not take the nether or upper millstone to pledge: for he hath laid that, whereon he liveth, to pledge to thee.

The laws for things left in custody or committed to the credit of 1another man, and for taking of ⟨p. 395⟩others, commandeth every man to make true restitution of the thing, which was given unto him to keep. But if it were stolen away from him, to whom the custody of it was committed, then, he that kept it ought to purge him self by an oath before a Magistrate, to show that he consented not to the conveying of the thing away. The same order is commanded to be observed in things borrowed, that are lost, or otherwise broken: as is to be seen in the 22 Chapter of Exodus.
