40 Yf a mans heer fall of his heed, the he is heedbaulde and cleane.

41 yf his heer fall before in his foreheade, then he is foreheadbalde and cleane.

42 yf there be in the baulde head or baulde forehead a redysh white scabbe, then there is leprosye spronge vpp in his baulde head or baulde foreheade.

43 And let the preast se it: and yf the rysynge of the sore be reddyshwhite in his baulde heade or foreheade after the maner of a leprosye in the skynne of the flesh,

44 then he is a leper and vncleane: ad the preast shall make him vncleane, for the plage of his heede.

45 And the leper in whome the plage is shall haue his clothes rent and his heade bare ad his mouth moffeld, and shalbe called vncleane.

46 And as longe as the dysease lesteth apon him, he shalbe vncleane: for he is vncleane, and shall therfore dwell alone, ad even without the host shall his habitacion be.

47 When the plage of leprosye is in a cloth: whether it be lynen or wollen,

48 yee and whether it be in the warpe or wolfe of the lynen or of the wollen: ether in a skynne or any thinge made of skynne
