If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
and fyndist a nest of a brid in a tree, ethir in þe erþe, and fyndist þe modir sittynge on þe briddis ethir eyrun, thou schalt not holde þe modir with þe children, but thou schalt suffre þe modir go,
