you_o for_o any_o thing_n say_v manassas_n who_o be_v precedent_n in_o that_o assembly_n but_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v angry_a if_o be_v in_o doubt_n we_o follow_v the_o prescription_n of_o the_o law_n in_o such_o occasion_n rabbin_z say_v she_o you_o know_v best_o if_o josebeth_n be_v a_o person_n of_o virtue_n or_o no._n he_o fear_v some_o such_o answer_n and_o therefore_o be_v go_v about_o to_o take_v the_o voice_n which_o all_o agree_v that_o josebeth_n shall_v take_v the_o water_n of_o jealousy_n when_o they_o have_v pronounce_v that_o sentence_n she_o sit_v down_o quiet_o to_o see_v the_o execution_n which_o according_a to_o their_o present_a custom_n be_v on_o this_o manner_n if_o any_o man_n be_v jealous_a of_o his_o wife_n he_o be_v to_o come_v before_o the_o priest_n to_o tell_v they_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o jealousy_n and_o if_o they_o be_v judge_v sufficient_a he_o be_v suffer_v to_o try_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o wife_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o their_o nation_n the_o way_n be_v this_o a_o priest_n write_v upon_o a_o piece_n of_o parchment_n these_o word_n let_v the_o woman_n who_o have_v be_v false_a to_o her_o husband_n perish_v and_o when_o the_o woman_n have_v consent_v to_o the_o curse_n they_o shave_v off_o from_o the_o parchment_n these_o write_a word_n and_o give_v she_o the_o shave_n to_o drink_n in_o a_o glass_n of_o water_n with_o so_o wonderful_a a_o success_n that_o if_o the_o woman_n be_v innocent_a that_o drink_v only_o increase_v her_o beauty_n but_o if_o she_o be_v guilty_a as_o soon_o as_o she_o have_v drink_v the_o water_n she_o feel_v most_o horrible_a pain_n all_o over_o her_o body_n her_o belly_n and_o her_o thigh_n swell_v and_o so_o she_o die_v in_o a_o dismal_a manner_n thus_o

as_o soon_o as_o the_o prayer_n and_o all_o the_o ceremony_n be_v over_o they_o let_v josebeth_n come_v in_o the_o indignation_n she_o have_v to_o see_v herself_o reduce_v to_o that_o extremity_n bring_v a_o red_a into_o her_o cheek_n that_o so_o raise_v her_o beauty_n that_o those_o wretched_a doctor_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o look_v on_o she_o manassas_n with_o a_o counterfeit_a

than_o any_o ceremony_n of_o your_o law_n at_o these_o word_n the_o rabbin_n look_v strange_o at_o one_o another_o and_o manassas_n to_o divert_v they_o rise_v up_z again_o to_o take_v their_o voice_n
