Let no widow be chosen under threescore¹ year old / and such a one as was the wife of one man / and well reported of in good works: if she have nourished children / if she have been liberal to strangers / if she have washed the saints feet / if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity / if she were continually given unto all manner good works. The younger widows refuse. For when they have begone to wax wanton / to the dishonour of Christ / then will they marry / having ^*damnation / because they have broken their first faith. And also they learn to goo from house to house idle / yea not idle only / but also trifling and busybodies / speaking §Cthings which are not comely.

The yonger widdowes refuse. For when they have begone to wexe wantone / to the dishonoure of Christ / then will they mary / havynge ^*damnaciō / because they have brokē their fyrst fayth. And also they learne to goo from housse to housse ydle / ye not ydle only / but also tryflynge and busybodyes / speakynge §Cthynges which are not comly.
