BAG,
The "missing text for # 5" is apparently due to you somehow having
both omitted and then substituted enumeration. I quote from my Temple 
Copy and ID
the omitted part.

Vow # 4: "I vow that as long as there is a single god who has not 
accomplished 
buddhahood, I too will not attain right enlightenment"

In somehow omitting this vow (# 4) you continued the numbering 
assigning #6 to
# 5 slipping one digit from there onwards.

snip; 13. I vow that my spirit [??? if there is 'no self', what spirit is 
he
speaking of here ???]

Vow 13 begins: "I vow to manifest innumerable bodies as a means to gain 
acess
into the minds of living beings---"

Thanks for your post,
John
