I
shold

the

that

ben
maad
and
formed
for
to
do
proffyt
vnto
the

of

For
man
was
formed
for
to

generacion
/
that
the
men
myght
helpe

And
here
in
ought
we
to
folowe
nature
/
For
she
sheweth
to
vs
that
we
shold
do
comyn
proffyt
one
to
another
.
and
the
first
fondement
of
Iustyce
is
that
no
man
shold
noye
ne
greue
other
but
that
they
ought
do
the
comen

For
men
say
in

.
that
I
see
of
thyn
.
I
hope
it
shal
be
myn
/
but
who
is
he
in
thyse
dayes
that
entendeth
more
to
the
comyn
proffyt
than
to
his
owne
/
certeynly
none
but
alwey
a
man
ought
to
haue
drede
and
fere
of
his
owne
hows
/
whan
he
seeth
his
neyghbours
hows
afyre
.
And
therfore
ought
men
gladly
helpe
the
comyn
prouffyt
/
for
men
otherwhyle
sette
not
by
a
lytyl
fyre
&
myght
quenche
hit
in
the
begynnyng
/
that
afterward
maketh
a
grete
blasygng
fire
&
fortune
hath
of
no
thyng
so
grete
plesure
as
for
to
torne

alwey
/
&
nature
is
so
noble
a
thyng
that
where
as
she
is
she
wyl
susteyne
and
kepe
.
but
thys
rewle
of
nature
hath
faylled
longe
tyme
.
How
wel
that
the
decree
saith
that
alle
the
thynges
that
been
ayenst
the
lawe
of
nature
ought
to
be
taken
awey
and
put
a
parte
/
And
he
sayth
tofore
in
the
viij
distinccion
that
the
eyght
lawe
of
nature
defferenceth
ofte
tymes
fro
custom
&
sta●●tes
establisshyd
/
For
by
lawe
of
nature
al
thyng
ought
to
be
comyn
to
euery
man
/
and
thys
lawe
was
of
olde
tyme
.
and
men
wene
yet
specially
that
the
troians
stept
this
lawe
.
and
we
rede
that
the
multitude
of
the
troians
was
one
herte
&
one
sowle·
and
verayly
we
fynde
that
in
tyme
passid
the
philosophres
dide
the
same
.
And
also
it
is
to
be
supposid
that
suche
as
haue
theyr
goodes
comune
and
not
propre
is
most
acceptable
to
god
.
ffor
ellis
wold
not
thyse
religyous
men
as
monkes
freres
chanons
obseruauntes
and
al
other
auowe
hem
and
kepe
the
wylful
pouerte
that
they
ben
professyd
to
.
For
in
trouth
I
haue
my self
ben
conuersaunt
in
a
religious
hows
of
whyt
freres
at
gaunt
whiche
haue
al
thyng
in
comyn
among
them
.
and
not
one
richer
than
another
in
so
moche
that
yf
a
man
gaf

or

/
as
sone
as
the

is
don
he
delyueryth
hit
to
his
ouerest
or
procuratour
in
whiche
hows
ben
many
vertuous
and
deuout
freris
/
and
yf
that
lyf
were
not
the
best
&
the
most
holyest
.
holy
chirche
wold
neuer
suffre
hit
in
religyon
/
And
accordyng
therto
we
rede
in
plato
whiche
sayth
that
the
cyte
is
wel
and
Iustly
gouerned
and
ordeyned
in
the
which
no
man
may
say
by
right
/
by
custome
ne
by
ordenaunce
.
thys
is
myn
.
But
I
say
to
the
certeynly
that
sythen
this
custome
came
forth
to
say
this
is
myn
.
and
this
is
thyn
.
no
man
thought
to
preferre
the
comyn
prouffyt
so
moche
as
his
owne
.
and
al
werkmen
ought
to
be
wyse
&
wel
aduysed
so
that
they
haue
none
enuye
ne
none
euyll
suspetion
one
to
another
/
For
god
wyl
that
our
humayn
nature
be
couetous
of
two
thynges
/
that
is
of
religyon
&
of
wysedom
/
but
in
this
caas
ben
some
often
tymes
deceyued
/
/
For
they
take
often
tymes
religyon
&
leue
wysedom
&
they
take
wysedom
&
refuse
religion
/
And
none
may
be
veray
and
trewe
wyth
out
other·
for
it
apperteyneth
not
to
a
wyse
man
to
do
ony
thyng
that
he
may
repente
hym
of
hit
/
and
he
ought
to
do
no
thyng
ayenst
his
wylle
/
But
to
do
al
thyng
nobly
▪
mourely
/
fermely
&
honestly
/
&
yf
he
haue
enuye
vpon
ony
/
hit
is
folye
/
for
he
on
whom
he
hath
enuye
is
more
honest
and
of
more
hauoyr
than
he
whiche
is
so
enuyous
/
For
a
man
may
haue
none
enuye
on
another
.
but
by
cause
he
is
more
fortunat
&
hath
more
grace
than
hym self
/
for
enuye
is
a
sorowe
of
corage
that
cometh
of
this
ordenaunce
of
the
prouffyt
of
another
man
and
knowe
thou
verily
that
he
that
is
ful
of
bounte
shal
neuer
haue
enuye
of
another
.
but
th
enuyous
man
seeth
and
thynketh
alwey
that
euery
man
is
more
noble
.
and
more
fortunat
than
hym self
/
and
saith
alwey
to
hym self
that
man
wynneth
more
than
I
/
and
myn
neyghbours
haue
more
plente
of
bestes
/
and
her
thynges
multeplye
more
than
myn
/
and
therfore
thou
oughtest
knowe
that
enuye
is
the
most
grettest
dedely
synne
that
is
/
For
she
tormenteth
hym
that
hath
her
within
hym
/
wythout
tormentyng
or
doyng
ony
harme
to
hym
.
on
whom
he
hath
enuye
/
And
an
enuyous
man
hath
no
vertu
in
hym self
For
he
corrumpeth
hym self
for
as
moche
as
he
hateth
alwey
the
welthe
and
vertues
of
other
/
And
thus
ought
they
to
kepe
them
that
they
take
none
euyl
suspecion
.
for
a
man
naturelly
whan
his
affeccion

suspecion

hit
semeth
to
hym
veryly
that
it
is

.
And
it
is
an
euyl
thyng
for
a
man
to
haue
suspecion
on
hym self
/
For
we
rede
that
dyonyse

so
suspecious
that
he
had
so
grete

for
as
moche
as
he
was

/
that
he
put
his

out
of

offyces
that
they
had
and
put
other
straungers
in
their

for
to

and
chese
suche
as
were
right
cruel

and
for

he
made
his

and
whan
they

he
wold
not
they

not

And
in
like
wyse
they
had
none

in

and
also
he
did
do
enuyronne

and
he

I

that

the

is
for

a

a

may
say
his

verayly

this

And
Tullyus
sayth
that

this

endured
not

as

thys

no

herof

it

a

disordynate

it

this

a

thys

the

than
the

receyuyd
his

went

and
this

trichour

was
defrauded

and
he
ne
had
neyther
that
one

ony

and
therfore
hit
is
sayd
in

to
defraude
the

is
no

he
that

And
this

is
lyke
to
an

and
thus
by
his

he
was
deceyuyd

and
therfore
hit
apperteyneth
to

vpon

it

that
it

that

hit

to

thirdly
Indirectly
vnto
the

And
the
reason
why
/
is
for
as
moche
as
she
●ath
in
his
self
by
grace
/
the
auctorite
that
the

haue
by
commyscion

for
she
may
gyue

graunte
many
thynges
to

graciously

thus
also

she
to

perfyt

haue
whiche
ben
Iuges

as
hit
is
sayd
aboue
in
the
chappytre
of

and
she
hath
not
the
nature
of

and
hit
is
not
sittyng
ne
couenable
thyng
for
a
woman
to
goo
to
bataylle
for
the
fragylite
&
feblenes
of
her
/
and
therfore
holdeth
she
not
the

as

doon
.
&
whan
she
is
me●yd
ones
out
of

she
may
not
goo

fro
one
poynte
to
another

and
yet
couertly
whether
hit
be
forwarde

bacward
takyng

to
be
taken·
and
here
may
be
axyd
why
the

cerceynly
it
is
for
the
solace
of

ostencion
of

And
also
the
peple
desire
to
haue
successyon
of
the
kyng

and
therfore
the
tartaris
haue
their
wyues
in
to
the

hit
is
not
good
that

theyr
wyues

that
they

they

For

reson

thyrd
yssue

reson

he
may

wyse
may
the
lift
knyght
goo

is
black

goeth
out

in

maner
goeth

knyght
