35. None are allowed to swear.
Strive to flee and avoid swearing or malediction as indulgence of the devil. And she who does it must repent with two suppositions of silence and one hundred blows punishment.

CAPUT XXXV. Ut iurare omnino non liceat.
Iuramentum, vel maledictum, velut venenum diaboli fugere et
vitare contendat; quod si fecerit, duabus silentii suppositionibus, et centum
percussionibus poeniteat.
