And yf he came maried, hys wyfe shall goo oute with hym: 4 And yf hys master haue geuen hym a wyfe and she haue borne hym sonnes or daughters: then the wyfe and hyr children shalbe hir masters and he shall goo oute alone. 5 And yf the seruaunte saye: I loue my master, my wyfe and my chyldren, I wyll not goo oute fre. 6 Hys master shall brynge hym vnto the iudges, and sett hym to the doore or the dorepost and hys master shall bore hys eare thorowe with a nawle, and he shalbe hys seruaunte for euer. 7 And yf a man sell hys daughter to be a seruaunte: she shall not goo oute as the men seruauntes doo. 8 If she also please not hyr master, and he geueth her to noman to wyfe, then shall he let hyr go fre: to sell her vnto a straunge nacyon shall he haue no power, seinge he despysed her. 9 If he haue promysed her vnto hys sonne to wyfe, he shall deale with her as men do with theyr daughters. 10 And yf he take hym another wyfe, yet hyr fode, hyr rayment and dutie of mariage shal he not mynishe. 11 And yf he do not these thre vnto her, then shall she goo out fre and paye no money.
