Exclusion of oral evidence prevents admitting extrinsic testimony to alter a plainly worded document's application to facts. The provision establishes the exclusion of oral evidence where a written document employs plain language and accurately describes existing facts: external evidence cannot be admitted to show the parties intended the document to refer to different facts; thus a deed describing property at a specified place and size is conclusive against evidence that a different parcel was meant.
