In freemaid servants, & bondmaid servants the punishment is ended with death: but if a freewoman be rapt, the goods of the rapter, & those which be present with him, •o turn to her use that is rapt. Neither is it any thing worth for the rapter to give away his goods, or to bequeath them away by will, but they fall into the hands of her that is rapt, & that not only for a time, but also for ever, so that she may either sell them, or alienate them, or give them for a dowry. One thing only is excepted, unless she that is rapt do marry the rapter, the goods of the rapter are given her on that condition that she should not marry him. And the reason of the law is added, because in our public wealth we suffer not, that a man should marry a wife after the manner of an enemy.

But if a bondman, or bondwoman were taken either in committing or aiding this crime, they were commanded to be burnt with fire.

One thing onely is excepted, vnles she that is rapted doo marye the rapter, the goods of the rapter are geuen her on that condicion that she should not mary hym. And the reason of the law is added, bycause in our publike wealth we suffer not, that a man shoulde marye a wyfe after the maner of an enemy. For Citizens are wont to mary their wyues, and not to rapt them.
