the Estrich, ye Nightcrow, the Cocow, the Sparow hauke with his kynde,

the Heron, ye Iaye with his kynde, the Lapwynge, and ye Swalowe.

Of these maye ye eate, as there is the Arbe with his kynde, and the Selaam with his kynde, & the Hargol with his kynde, & the Hagab wt his kynde.

and who so euer beareth the carcase of eny of these, shall wash his clothes, and shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.

And he yt beareth their carcase, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the eue: For soch are vncleane vnto you.

These shalbe vncleane vnto you also, amonge the beestes that crepe vpon earth: ye Wesell, the Mouse, the Tode, euery one with his kynde,

Who so eateth of eny soch carcase, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. Likewyse he that beareth eny soch carcase, shal wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the euen.

and in ye eight daye shal ye flesh of his foreskynne be cut awaie.

Whan there ryseth vp eny thinge in the skynne of a mans flesh, whether it be a scabbe or a glistrynge whyte (as though there wolde be a leprosy in ye ßkynne of his flesh) he shal be brought vnto Aaron the prest, or to one of his sonnes amonge ye prestes.

And whan the prest seyth the plage vpon the ßkynne of the flesh, that the hayres are turned to whyte, and it seme deper in that place then the other ßkynne of his flesh, then is it surely a leprosy, therfore shal the prest loke vpon him, and iudge him vncleane.

But whan there is eny whyte plecke in the ßkynne of his flesh, and yet seme no deper then the other ßkynne of the flesh, and the hayres be not turned to whyte, the shal the prest shut him vp seuen dayes,

And whan he loketh on him agayne vpon the seuenth daye, and fyndeth, that the plage be darkish, and hath frett no deper in the ßkynne, the shal he iudge him cleane, for it is but a ßkyrfe, and he shal wash his clothes, & then is he cleane.

the is it surely an olde leprosy in ye ßkynne of his flesh, therfore shal the prest iudge him vncleane, and not shut him vp, for he is vncleane allready.

And vpon the seueth daye wha he loketh, and fyndeth that the skyrfe hath frett no farther in the skynne, and that it apeareth no deper then the other skynne, then shall the prest iudge him cleane. And he shall wash his clothes, for he is cleane.

If they fall out of his fore heade, then is he fore heade balde & cleane.

therfore shal ye prest loke vpon him. And whan he fyndeth the whyte reedysh sore rysen vp in his balde heade or balde foreheade, then shal ye skynne of the flesh be as leporous,

therfore is he a leporous man and vncleane. And the prest shall iudge him vncleane, because of ye same sore vpo his heade.

Who so now is leporous, his clothes shalbe rent, and the heade bare, & the lippes moffled, and shall in eny wyse be called vncleane.

And as longe as the sore is vpon him, he shal be vncleane, dwell alone, and haue his dwellinge without the hoost.

And whan the prest seyth (after that the plage is waßshen) yt the plage is not chauged before his eyes, and hath frett no farther also, yet is it vncleane, & shalbe burnt wt fyre: for it is depe frete inwarde, and hath made skyrfes.
