And yf he puryfye not himself on the thirde daye, & on the seuenth daye, the shall he not be cleane. 13 But wha eny ma toucheth a deed personne, and wil not purifie himself, he defyleth the dwellynge of the LORDE, and the same soule shal be roted out of Israel, because the sprenklinge water is not sprenkled vpon him: and he is vncleane, as longe as he letteth not himself be pourged therof. 14 This is the lawe.

Likewyse also vpon him, yt hath touched a deed mans bone, or a slayne personne, or a deed body, or a graue. 19 And he that is cleane, shal sprenkle vpon the vncleane, ye thirde daye, & the seueth daie, & purifye him on ye seueth daye. And he shal washe his clothes, & bathe him self wt water, and so at euen he shalbe cleane. 20 But he yt is vncleane, and wil not purifye him self, ye same soule shal be roted out of ye cogregacion. For he hath defyled the Sanctuary of the LORDE, & is not sprekled wt spreklinge water, therfore is he vncleane. And this shalbe a perpetuall lawe vnto the. And he yt sprenkled wt the spreklinge water, shall wash his clothes also. 21 And who so euer toucheth the spreklinge water, shal be vncleane vntill the euen.
