Chaton
the
vayllaunt
cōbataūt
or
fyghtar

by
whos
force
and
strengthe
of
armes
/
the
romayns
had
many
fayr
vyctoryes

&
whiche
neuer
in
bataill
was
dyscomyted
sayth
that
it
ought

to
haue
proffyted
to
the

the
wrytyng
of
rules

techyngs
and
dyscyplyne
of

whiche
he
had
composed

made
in
a

in
ony
thynge
that
he
euer

for
he
saith
alle
that
euer
that
a

endureth
not

But
that
whiche
is
wreton
endureth
to
the
comyn
prouffit
euermore

by
which
Innumerable
men
may
the
more
auaylle

so
is
it

proued

that
it
is
not
a
thynge
of
lytyl
prouffyt
for
to
wryte

make
bookes
/
But
to
th
ende
that
this
present
whrke
by
some
enuyous
myght
be
reproched
sayeng
that
it
is
but
ydlenes
&
losse
of
tyme
as
to
treate
of
thynges
not
lawfull
/
first
it
is
to
wyte
yf
warres
&
bataylles
/
chyualrye
&
faytes
of
armes
of
whiche
thynge
we
hope
to
speke
/
it
is
or
not
/
o
thynge
iuste
/
for
as
in
excersysing
of
armes
ben
doon
many
grete
euyllis
/
extorcyons
/
&
grieues
/
lyke
as
occisions
rauayne
by
forces
/
to
brenne
by
fyre
&
infenyte
harmes
may
seme
to
some
that
warres
&
bataylles
shold
be
acursed
thyng
&
not
due
/
And
therfore
to
ansuere
to
this
question
/
it
is
to
wete
/
that
it
appiereth
manyfestly
that
warres
emprysed
by
iuste
cause
be
permysed
&
suffred
of
god
/
lyke
as
we
haue
founden
in
the
holy
scrypture
in
many
places
/
how
our
lord
him self
ordeyned
to
captaynes
of
hostes
that
whiche
they
shold
doo
ayenst
theyr
enemyes
/
lyke
as
it
is
wreton
of
one
that
was
called
Ih̄us
/
to
whom
he
saide
that
he
shold
ordeyne
him
to
bataylle
ayenst
his
enemyes
/
&
made
an
enbusshe
for
the
better
to
vaynquisshe
theym
/
And
of
other
ynowe
semblably
is
recyted
/
And
also
the
holy
escripture
saith
of
god
that
he
is
fiers
&
gouernour
of
hoostis
&
bataylles
/
And
warre
&
bataill
whiche
is
made
by
iuste
quarell
is
none
other
thing
but
right
execucyon
of
iustyce
/
for
to
gyue
the
right
/
there
as
it
apperteyneth
/
and
to
this
accordeth
the
lawe
deuyne
/
&
semblably
the
lawes
ordeyned
of
men
for
to
represse
the
arrogaunts
&
malefactours
/
&
as
touchyng
the
harmes
&
euyllis
that
ben
doon
aboue
the
right
&
droyt
of
warre
/
lyke
as
other
auctours
sayen
/
that
cometh
nothyng
of
the
right
of
warre
but
by
euylnes
of
the
peple
that
vsen
it
euyl
lyke
as
I
hope
by
the
aide
of
god
to
touche
here
after
where
as
it
shal
falle
where
as
I
shal
speke
of
thynges
lymyted
after
the
lawes
and
droit
canon
in
the
excersyte
of
armes
¶
Here
it
deuyseth
how
it
is
not
leefful
but
to
kynges
&
souerayn
prynces
to
empryse
warre
or
bataylles
of
their
singuler
auctorite

agaynst
ony
what
someuer

be

¶
Cao·
iij
Now
haue
we
in
this
first
chapytre
touched
shortly
how
warres
&
batailles
by
good
right
emprysed
is
a
thyng
iuste
/
thenne
is
it
to
be
take
hede
syth
they
be
of
right
/
it
apperteyneth
to
euery
man
to
doo
iuste
&
rightful
werke
/
yf
it
be
leeful
to
ony
persone
to
empryse
warre
for
to
kepe
his
right
thenne
it
shold
seme
by
this
reson
that
without
to
mesprise
euery
man
may
so
doo
it
/
But
for
to
declare
the
trouthe
to
/
theym
that
in
this
poynt
myght
erre
/
it
is
to
wyte
that
wythoute
to
make
ony
doubte
/
after
the
determynacion
of
right
&
of
the
lawes
/
it
apperteyneth
to
none
to
empryse
warre
or
bataylle
for
ony
maner
cause
/
but
yf
it
be
to
prynces
souerayn
lyke
as
emperous
kynges
/
dukes
/
&
other
lordes
terryens
whiche
ben
merely
princypall
heedes
of
Iuredictions
temporall
ne
to
a

what
someuer
he
be

to
ony
other
be
he
neuer
so
grete
withoute
lycence
/
congie
&
volente
of
hys
souerayn
lord
and
that
this
lawe
is
of
right
/
manyfeste
reason
sheweth
it
ynowh
/
for
yf
it
shold
be
other
wyse
/
werof
thenne
shold
serue
prynces
souerayne
/
whiche
for
none
other
thyng
were
establysshed
but
for
to
doo
right
to
euerych
of
their
subgettis
that
shold
be
oppressid
for
ony
extorcion
&
for
to
deffende
&
kepe
them
lyke
as
the
good
sheppard
exposeth
his
lyf
for
his
sheep
&
therfor
oweth
the
subgette
to
resorte

by

therto

ony

By

his

the

And
with
this
that
it
is
no
doubte
that
his

shold
haue
the
better
herte

to

it

taken
to
be

as
the

alexander
in

batayl
of

ayenst
the

where
he
had
noble
victorye
/
it
is
not
to
be
delibered
ne
lightly
to
be
concluded
/
that
the
kynge
ne
souerayn
prince
goo
in
his
propre

/
and
better
is
it
t
eschewe
it

than
to

thyder
/
alleway
reserued
some
cas
that
is
to
wite
ayenst
his
owne
propre
naturel
subgettes
/
in
caas
that
they
be
rebell
to
hym
/
the
cause
is
for
as
moche
as
naturally
the
subget
fereth
to
offende
the
mageste
of
his
souerayn
lorde
in
especyal
in
his
presence
/
whom
they
may
not
denye
●
what
someuer
paruerse
wylle
they
haue
/
that
they
shold
lose
hertes
and
membres
like
as
they
were
vaynquisshed
/
they
seeyng
against
hym
:
whome
they
ought
to
ayde
/
and
also
to
be
with
hym
ayenst
alle
men
/
and
in
especyal
the
confusion
is
grete
ayenst
them
/
And
the
right
is
grete
for
the
prynce
●
whan
he
is
to
theym
good
&
not
cruell
ne
tyraunt
/
But
not
for
what
someuer
necessite
that
he
see
/
he
ought
wel
to
take
hede
●
that
he
be
sette
so
surely
in
the
bataylle
/
that
the
perill
of
euyl
fortune
may
not
falle
vpon
his
persone
/
But
the
reason
general
wherfore
it
is
not
good
commynly
that
he
goo
to
bataill
is
by
cause
that
none
may
knowe
to
what
partye
god
shal
gyue
the
eure
of
the
victorye
/
wherfore
yf
the
fortune
cam
ayenst
the
prynce
beyng
there
in
persone
/
by
whiche
he
take
deth
be
take
or
flee
/
that
shold
not
be
perdycyon
and
deshonour
only
to
his
sayd
persone

but
to
them
of
his

&
generally
to
alle
his
subgettis

ynowh
may
be
knowen
by
th
experience
of
caas
semblable
in
this
royame
/
&
ellis
where
late
happened
/
And
therfore
it
is
not
to
be
chosen
that
for
the
regarde
of
some
particuler
vtilite
is
put
in
aduenture
&
peril
that
/
of
whiche
may
come
infenyte
harmes
&
inconuenyentes
and
therfore
a
prynce
ought
not
be
byleued
that
therin
shold
be
ouer
wylly
&
courageous
/
but
he
ought
to
be
put
fro
it
/
and
the
causes

reasons
to
hym
assigned
with
examples
whiche
oughte
to
refrayne
hym

Consideryng

peryl
/
not
onely
of
his
persone
as
said
is

of
alle

to
this

that
it

that

And
thus

as

not

of

And
he
sayd

the

in

wyse
whiche
had
goten
many
londes
&
conquerde

lefte
on
a

th
excercyte
of

whiche
by
theyr
discontynuaunce
they
were
by
hanybal
prynce
of

desconfyted
in
the
seconde
bataille

where
as
they
loste
all
theyr
seignourye
tofore
canes
in

whiche
was
soo
horrible

that
almost
alle

And
theyr

taken

the

excersice

Therfore
concludeth
the
said
auctour
to
the
louing
&
praysing
of
the
contynuall
excersyce
of

that
more
profytable
is

that

&
nothyng
so
ferme

saith
he
ne
that
more
is
to

than
is
a

where
foyson
of

be
wel
lerned
&
taught
in
all
that
longeth
to
the
fayt
of

/
for

nor
ouercome

in

as

&
may
doo
the
might
of
worthy
chyualrye
wel
taught
/
And
of
suche
folke
ought
not
to
be
Iuged
aftre
the
folysshe
sentence
of
the
kyng
Bynytus
of
gallya
or
fraunce
/
whiche
aftre
he
had
enuaysshed
the
romayns
with
/
Ciiij
/
soore
thousand
men
armed
/
and
sawe
hem
come
ayenst
hym
with
so
lytyl
a
quantyte
/
despysed
them
and
sayd
that
they
were
not
men
ynoughe
for
to
satisfye
th
appetit
of
the
dogges
of
his
oost
/
But
not
withstandyng
was
ther
men
ynoughe
for
to
dystresse
bothe
hym
and
his
grete
oost
/
as
is
happed
soone
after
lyke
as
t
hystory
recounteth
/
And
this
for
to
conferme
after
the
sayng
of
the
said
Auctour
/
we
shall
first
speke
of
the
doctryne
and
lore
that
th
auncyent
nobles
yaue
vnto
theyr
chyldren
in
tyme
of
theyre
youthe
/
And
then
shal
we
retourne
to
the
matiere
of
the
said
chieftain
or
chieftains
of
the
chyualrye
/
The
said
vegece
to
purpos
saith
in
the
first
chapytre
of
his
first
boke
/
We
by
noon
othre
meanes
nor
manere
can
perceyue
ne
see
/
the
cyte
of
rome
to
haue
subdued
vnto
her
the
countrees
of
the
worlde
/
but
by
vse
of
armes
and
by
techynges
of
ostes
of
knyghthode
/
For
al
ynoughe
may
be
presumed
/
that
so
small
a
quantyte
of
folke
as
the
romains
were
at
the
first
shuld
do
lytyl
harme
to
the
grete
multitude
of
frenshmen
The
wytte
of
the
grekis
as
Titus
liuius
saith
dyde
resiste
ayenst
themalyce
&
strength
of
them
of
affrique
And
by
this
we
conclude
as
it
is
afore
said
that
bettre
is
a
small
quantite
of
folke
vsed
and
wel
taught
in
fayt
of
armes
by
contynuel
excersice
of
al
that
therof
may
fall
in
the
doubtouse
happe
of
bataill
/
than
is
a
grete
ml̄tytude
of
rude
folke
nought
knowing
/
for
as
he
saith
●
the
manere
of
connyng
to
knowe
that
/
that
in
werres
&
bataylles
belongeth
groweth
norissheth
&
gyueth
hardynes
to
fyght
/
as
it
is
so
that
noon
doubteth
to
do
that
in
whiche
he
feleth
hymself
lerned
expert
&
taught
/
And
al
sciences
&
craftes
are
knowen
&
lerned
by
contynuans
of
vsage
/
Thus
yf
it
be
trouthe
saith
vegece
that
this
be
in
small
thingis
●
bettre
it
behoueth
to
kepe
the
same
in
thynges
that
ben
right
grete
/
O
what
is
it
of
men
vsed
&
made
to
the
werre
and
that
be
subtyl
in
th
excersice
of
armes
/
with
peyne
can
they
be
ouercome
by
noo
maner
of
straunge
aduenture
that
neuer
was
seen
bifore
/
As
it
appiered
that
tyme
the
romayns
founde
the
crafte
&
the
manere
for
to
sle
the
multitude
of
Elephantꝭ
that
ben
so
grete
and
ferfull
bestis
wat
bothe
men
and
horses
of
theyre
syght
were
affrayed
/
that
the
cartagiens
and
they
of
parthe
had
brought
ayenst
theym
/
And
the
wyse
romayns
made
engyns
by
the
whiche
they
lanchid
&
cast
vnto
theim
sharp
barres
of
brennyng
yron
/
and
thus
distroyed
them
/
And
therfore
saith
th
auctour
that
of
al
artes
or
craftis
in
a
lande
more
to
be
comended
/
is
the
arte
of
fighting
in
excersice
of
werre
For
by
that
is
the
fredom
of
the
lande
place
or
contrey
surely
kept
/
and
the
dignite
of
the
prouince
is
ther
by
encreaced
/
and
the
auncyent
worthy
men
/
as
it
is
said
soueraynly
kept
the
same
/
first
the
grekes
and
they
of
lacemodone
right
valyaunt
and
strong
werryours
/
And
thenne
this
arte
to
lerne
&
vndrestande
aboue
al
other
thing
were
the
romains
curyous
&
fayne
/
and
the
fame
&
honour
that
ensued
theym
for
the
same
/
appiereth
and
is
wel
knowen
¶
Here
deuyseth
&
sheweth
the
manere
that
the
noble
auntient
worthy

kept
to
th
yntroduction
&
lernyng
of
theyre

in
the

¶
Capio·
ixo·
The
auncient
noble
men
thenne
that
by
haultnes
of
corage
desyred
al
wayes
that
th
excersise
of
armes
shuld
be
contynued

to
th

the
comyn
wele
of
theyre

and
cytees
shulde
be

norisshed
in
the
kyngis
&
prynces
courtis
for
to
lerne
pryde
/
lechery
nor
to
were
wanton

But
dide
so
by
cause
in
tyme
to
come
of
theyre
flowryng
aage
myght
serue
the
prynce
and
the
countrey
in
that
offyce
that
apparteyneth
to
noble
men
/
&
had
of
a
custume
whan
theyre
children
were
com
to

xiiij
/
yere
of
aage
they
made
hem
to
be
taught
in
al
suche
thyng
that
longueth
to
knyghthed
and
in
faites
of
werre
/
And
is
to
wite
that
there
were
in
certayn
places
propre
fooles
where
they
were
induced
/
And
taught
to
were
harneys
&
handlyng
of
staues
&
deffensyng
and
the
fayt
&
the
wayes
of
the
same
/
And
therfore
wyl
vegece
say
there
as
he
speketh
to
this
purpoos
in
his
fourth
chapitre
of
his
first
boke
that
the
noble
men
ought
to
peyne
hem
self
to
drawe
theyre
children
in
theyre
first
youthe
to
the
loue
of
fayttes
of
armes
/
for
the
yong
child
is
able
to
conceyne
&
kepe
in
mynde
that
/
that
men
shewe
to
hym
/
and
naturelly
chyldren
are
glad
and
wyllyng
to
tyse
hem
self
to
suche
thingis
as
men
see
/
that
they
wrastle
lepen
&
playe
one
with
other
moeuing
theyre
bodyes
/
So
ought
thenne
to
be
shewed
vnto
them
the
tournez
of
swiftnes
to
caste
&
fyghte
with
bothe
theyre
armes
/
and
the
manere
how
they
shall
glaūche
or
with
drathe
themself
from
the
strokes
that
in
trauers
or
sydlyng
may
come
/
to
lepen
ouer
trenchis
or
dyches
/
to
lanche
or
cast
sperys
&
dartes
and
the
waye
to
couere
&
saue
hem
self
with
theyre
sheldes
/
and
to
doo
al
other
semblable
thyngis
/
And
vnto
them
they
shewed
also
how
in
castyng
of
sperys
or
dartes
they
shuld
sett
theyre
lifte
foete
afore
/
by
cause
in
launching
shakyng
or
casting
that
wiche
they
hold
&
wold
cast
out
of
hand
the
body
shulde
be
more
stedfast
on
the
grounde
&
the
myght
in
casting
gretter
/
but
as
to
come
hand
to
hand
for
to
repulse
or
shoue
forth
with
sperys
they
taught
hem
to
sette
the
right
fote
afore
/
by
cause
that
the
strengthe
of
shouing
is
at
the
lifte
syde
of
men
And
for
to
teche
hem
bettre
in
all
thynges
to
fighte
&
to
sawte
/
they
were
oftymes
put
in
arraye
of
batailles
by
theyre
maistres
/
by
cause
they
shuld
knowe
by
veray
vse
the
conduyte
and
the
ordre
that
ought
to
be
kept
in
a
bataille
/
And
all
renged
in
fayre
ordonaunce
made
hem
to
marche
forwardis
a
quantite
of
paaces
for
to
teche
hem
to
kepe
hem
self
clos
togidre
in
gode
ordenaunce
without
gooyng
out
or
from
the
rowte
of
theyre
bataille
/
And
with
light
stauis
at
the
first
by
cause
they
schuld
not
hurt
eche
othre
/
made
one
partye
to
sawte
that
othre
/
And
to
th
ende
that
noo
rancour
ne
anger
myght
not
be
norryshed
among
hem
/
they
that
had
the
victorye
were
at
another
tyme
putte
for
to
fyght
with
theym
that
they
so
had
ouercom
/
ayenst
othre
After
this
they
were
putte
in
certain
places
to
kepe
theym
that
one
place
ayenst
that
other
/
And
as
theyre
bodyly
strengthe
grew
more
and
more
/
they
made
hem
for
to
take
axes
and
swerdis
and
almaner
of
other
wepens
of
werre
and
assayed
&
forced
them self
to
smyte
ayenst
certayn
stakes
that
for
the
nones
were
dressed
and
there
made
grete
appertyses
of
armes
/
as
hit
had
be
ayenst
theyre
enemy
mortall
/
and
al
this
was
/
by
cause
they
shuld
bere
trauailles
and
be
vsed
in
ablyng
of
them self
And
so
assawted
the
stake
al
a
bout
glanching
and
tournyng
here
and
there
/
and
in
this
manere
of
asawte
toke
in
hem
self
strengthe
and
breth
and
the
manere
of
fyghtyng
and
sawtyng
they
lerned
/
And
as
theyre
strengthe
&
age
grewe
/
so
was
gyuen
to
theym
greter
charge
and
more
poysaunt
/
and
namely
bygger
armures
and
more
heuy
stauys
than
thoo
that
are
vsed
in
a
feld
or
bataille
/
by
cause
that
comyn
stauis
shuld
seme
to
them
easy
and
lyght
at
a
nede
/
They
lerned
theym
also
to
stryke
with
a
foyne
whiche
manere
of
foynyng
was
first
brought
in
vse
by
the
romains
/
for
they
scorned
them
that
smote
edgelyng
/
and
sayd
with
peyne
myght
one
slee
another
aftre
that
guyse
/
by
cause
the
bones
that
be
harde
with
holdeth
and
kepeth
the
stroke
/
But
of
a
foyne
is
the
wounde
dedely
yf
the
hed
or
the
body
entre
the
depnes
of
two
yuches
/
And
for
this
reason
also
is
the
strok

they

for

He

One
is

That
other
is

he
shal

vpon
whyche
condycyons
is

resteth
the

What
the
demaunde
whyche
is
doon
to

is

and
what
hys
offre
is

¶
As
to
the
first
of
two
it
is
to
be
aduysed
yf
they
that
so
treaten
ben
hys
frendys
or
yf
he
so
reputeth
and
holdeth
them
/
or
whethre
they
be
men
of
egall
meane
not
parcyal
nor
synguler
for
nother
of

or
whether
they

not
/
Yf
it
be
so
that
●it
commeth
by
the
symple
motyon
of
that
other

●
it
is
a
gode
token
/
that
noo
deceyte
be
not
wyth
all
For
eyther
god
hath
so
inspyred
them

or
it
appereth
that
they
doubte

the

neuer

he
shal
be
wel
aduised
of
the
manere
of

askyng
with
the
manere
of
theyre
proffre
thou
be
more
proude
therfore
wenyng
to
haue
hem
at
auauntage
yf
the
bataylles
happed
to
be

wherby
thou
woldest
not
fall
to

But
rathre
to
be
founde
the
harder
For
eny
proffres
that
were
doon
vnto
the
/
nay
certeynly
/
For
with
peyne
it
myght
be
founde
that
euer
it
happed
that
they
that
refused
iuste
proffres
what
someuer
ryght
that
they
had

what
grete
nombre
of

that
they
had
ayenst
a
few
folke

But
that
at
the
last
they
repented
full
sore
/
And
it
semyth
that
god
in
thys
caas
hateth
them
that
suche
raysonnable
proffres
comtempnen
and
reffusen
/
And
punyssheth
hem
ther
for

But
herto
thou
oughtest
to
take
hede
for
in
thys
lyeth
the
pareyl

that
is
to
wyte
/
that
thou
be
not

by
trayson
thrughe
false

vndre
the
shadowe
of
the
treatyng
of

peas

And
how
shalt
thou
know
thys
/
For
sothe
I
say
that
by
coniectures
thou
shalt
mow
haue
a
colour
of
the
doubte
therof
/
Wherfore
be
thou
alwayes
vpon
thy

Wherfor
yf
it

that
the
first

comen
of

of

thou
shalt
mowe
knowe
by
the
condycyons
of
hym
/
what
the
cause
may
be
that
hath
moeuyd
hym
to
speke
therof
/
For
yf
he
be
wyse
and
a
gode
true
man
and
that
thou
knowest
hym
for
suche
/
thou
oughtest
not

yf
suche
a

wold
gladly
see
that
a
gode
meane
were
founde
that
myght
eschewe
effusion

shedyng
of

bl●de
by
som
gode

worshypfull
trayttye
and
that

myght

¶
But
yf
he
be
a
man
that
is
not

to
fynde
hym self
in
suche
a

/
And
that
is
of
lytyl
courage

thoughe

thou
mayst
thynke
that
this
commeth
to
hym
by
cowardnes
&
feblenes
of
herte
/
But
not
therfore
thou
oughtest
not
to
putte
his
reasons
all
a
backe
/
But
shalt
see
yf
they
ben
gode
and
to
thy

Another
thyng
is
to
be
consydered

that

And
yf
in

he
peyneth
hym self

the

for

To
thees
yf

thou

For

And
it

therfore
the

of

that

after
the
teghyng
of

noble
auncyent

ther
ben
seuen
thynges
wherupon
the
gode

The
fyrst
is
that

take
fyrst
the
aduauntayge

as
it
is
sayde
afore
where
as
he
shall
haue
sette

The
seconde

that

that
they

wynde
that

combre
theyre
fyght
wyth

The
fourth
that
muche
couenable

to
them
that
they
shal
knowe

they

What

peple
they

what

For
after
the

sette

The
fyfthe

that
they

more

¶
The
syxth
that
they
muste
be
al
of

corage

purpos
for
to
kepe
the
place

and
to
be
wyllyng
rather
to

for

And
thus
suche
men
shal
not
be
brought
lyghtly

noo
manere

the
seuenth
is
that
theyre

what
theyre

what
they
thinke

the

For

And
for

the
Affrycayns
of

to

Item
whan
hanyball
shold

ayenst
the
romayns
at
the
bataylle
of
Cannes
that
sore

mageable
was

the

was

as
he
shuld
haue
the

the
wynde
att

With
this
he
ordeyned
that
after
the
bataille
were
bygonne
one
parte
of
his
folke
shulde
make
as
they
fledde
awaye
by

a

where
abusshement
was
for
the
nones
comytted
and
sette
for
to
renne
vpon
the
romayns
that
shuld
folowe
the
chasse
after

that
so
fledde
And
thirdly
he
ordeyned
that
foure
men
of
armes
shuld
in
lyke
wyse
flee
towardes
the
romayns
/
as
they
shulde
feere
the
bataylle
and
shulde
yelde
them self
to
them
/
Thys
ordynaunce
thus
brought
to
effecte
/
and
that
the
bataylle
was
bygonne
/
the
romayns
were
sore
troubled
and
lette
by
the
sonne
and
by
the
duste
that
toke
the
syght
and
also
by
the
sayd
busshement
that
ouer

wher
many

were
slayne

thirdly
by

that
had
yelde
hem
self

the
whiche
after
the
manere
that
was

were
dysarmed

But
they
hadd

wyth
all
they

wherof

as
it
happed
in

of

that
to

was
so
gretly
preiudycyable
that
al

So
ought
wel
to
be
eschewed
suche
an
euyll

acursed
contencyon

¶
Of
the

/
YEt
to
this

of
puttyng
trusty

in

cytees
/
and
that
gode

ought
to
be
taken
that
they
be

as
by
thys
manere
of

many
cytees

haue
ben
betrayed
solde
&
robbed
/
It
apyereth
by
th
ensample
of
the
cyte
of
Sinopen
that
was
grete
stronge
riche
and
full
of
peple
/
whiche
Mytryda●●es
the

had
taken
to
two

he
reputed
good

true
to

but
full
euyll
they
kepte
hit
●
For
them self
wyth
theyre
folke
dyspoylled
it
/
and
after
that
they
had
sette
hit
a
fyre
they
fledd
and
went
awaye
wherof
a
merueyllouse
aduenture
happed
For
thenne
as
the
duke
of
the
oost
of
the
romayns
dide
arryue
there
for
to
sette
his
siege
bifore
the
towne
/
he
had
grete
merueylle
what
that
myght
be
And
whan
the
cas
was
tolde
hym
he
made
to
calle
atte

and
whan
the
yate
was
open
he
gyuyng
to
them
of

gode
assewrance

made
his

thus
was
werred

Sonopen
by
theym

And
socoured
and
holpen
by
them
that
trowed

/
¶
Item
that
couetouse
folke
may
be
of
grete
hynderaunce
vnto
a
cyte
or
castelles
/
It
appyereth
by
the
wordes
of
Iugurta
the
kynge
of
Munydye
that
a
grete
enuye

couerd
hate
bare

but
for
to
deceyue
hem
bettre
he
gaffe
grete
gyftes
vnto
the
pryncypalles
of
them
/
and
in
this
dooynge
he
sewed
sedycyon
and
dyscorde
emonge
the
cytezeyns
/
And
thus
werred
them
theyre
ennemye
that
they
reputed
for
a
frende
wythout
that
they
perceyued
it
nor
were
aware
therof
tyl
that
at
hys
departyng
fro

where
as
by

of
grete
loue
he
was
come

he
coude
not
kepe

that
was
swollen
wyth

he
muste
caste

Thys

lyghtly
to

that
hadde

¶
Wyth
thees
thynges
is
to
wyte
that
many
a
tyme
is
happed
a
grete
Inconuenyent
in
cytees

landes
/
and
namely
in
an
ooste
by
cause
of
grete
quantyte
of

/
as
hyt
happed
in
Rome
in
the
tyme
of
theyre
conquestes
where
they
had
an

to

wyth
them
the

that
they
toke

¶
Wherof
it
befell
that

For

may

is
due
to
hym
more
than
to
ony

another
more
stronge
a

there
is

that
is
to
wite
that
it
apparteyneth
his

to
be
to
hym
obeyssaunt
/
or
ellis
forfayt

forswere
hem
self

that
whiche
they

promysed

so
euere

were
he

dere
loue
to
this

I
ansuere
the
/
that
to
moeue
him
werre
after
ryght
/
he
may
not
/
&
see
here
the
reasons
that
the
lawe
writon
therunto
doeth
assygne
first
for
bicause
that
he
is
procuratoure
of
the
chyrche
/
Soo
it
were
a
grete
oultrage
that
the
procuroure
sholde
be
ageynst
the
mayster
the
whiche
he
ought
to
deffende
there
as
he
shulde
offende
It
the
emperoure
is
subgecte
to
the
pope
/
this
can
he
not
denye
/
For
hit
appyereth
clerly
by
thys
that
his
electyon
apparteyneth
&
so
moche
lyeth
in
the
pope
that
hit
bilongeth
to
hym
to
enquyre
yf
he
be
a
man
ydone
and
hable
to
the
see
Imperyall
/
and
whether
the
electyon
be
duely
made
or
not
And
for
to
crowne
hym
/
Thus
thenne
sith
that
he
is
subgette
vnto
the
pope
It
were
grete
wronge
that
subgette
shulde
doo
ayenst
the
souerayne
/
And
yet
I
say
to
the
more
/
that
yf
the
Emperoure
ruleth
not
hym self
and
hys
Empyre
after
the
lawes
of
a
gode
Emperoure

the
pope
/
may
take
from
hym
the
dygnyte
Imperyalle

And
shall
stablysshe
another

Soo
ought
not
thenne
nor
may
not
the
subgettes
obey
after
ryght

SWete
maister
soylle
me
thys
question
/
I
say
syth
that
it
is
so
that
a
vassall
is
holden
for
to
helpe
hys
lorde
of
whome
he
holdeth
hys
lande
ayenst
euery
man
It
semeth
thenne
that
yf
a
kynge
or
prynce
had
werre
aienst
som
of
hys
barons
/
that
the
subgettes
of
the
baron
of
whom
they
holde
shulde
be
bounde
to
helpe
theyre
lorde
ayenst
the
kynge
or
prynce
/
For
to
the
kynge
they
haue
not
promysed
noo
fealtee
but
onely
to
theyre
lorde
of
whome
moeueth
theyre
lyf
lode
whithout
excepcyon
Dere
loue
to
this
questyon
I
shall
shortly
ansuere
without
faylle
/
how
well
that
by
reasons
ynouhe
thou
mayste
argue
with
sayenge
that
aswell
may
the
lytel
man
helpe
hym selfe
of
hys
after
the
lawe
/
as
d●eth
the
grete
/
and
thus
thenne
/
why
shal
not
the
baron
helpe
hym self
with
hys
men
that
fealtee
haue
promysed
hym
/
and
not
to
the
kynge
&c
/
And
many
other
thynges
that
thou
mightest
adledge
to
thys
purpos
/
neuerthelesse
I
telle
the
that
all
reasons
to
the
contrary
/
after
oure
lawes
ben
admilled
and
of
noo
value
/
For
in
good
feyth
noo
subgett
is
not
holden
to
helpe
hym
of
whome
he
holdeth
hys
lande
ayenst
hys
souerayne
lorde
/
but
mysdoeth
and
putteth
hym self
yf
he
so
doo
vndre
peyne
capytall
/
as
he
that
offendeth
the
ryall
mageste
/
For
what
thowhe
the

lorde
naturall
to
the
subgett
/
Neuertheles
the
kynge
or
prynce
vndre
whom̄
they
be
ys
souerayne
/
And
yf
thou
saye
to
me
/
thenne
doo
they
forsuere
hemself
/
I
ansuere
the
/
Nay
/
For
noon
othe
can
not
bynde
noone
to

whiche
they
shulde

/
Dere
maister
a
more
harde
questyon
and
that
all
ynoughe
dependeth
here
of
I
will
to
the
make
I
suppose
that
two
barons
of
the
reame
of
Fraunce
or
of
som
other
countrey
haue
werre
one
ayenst
the
other
for
the
whiche
cause
they
sende
and
calle
theyre
men
/
and
soone
hyt
happeth
that
the
kynge
for
hys
werres
and
deffence
of
hys
lande
hath
nede
of
men
and
he
maketh
hys
maundement
in
whyche
are
comprysed
the
subgettes
of
the
sayd
two
barons
/
soo
aske
I
now
of
the
yf
they
be
bounde
for
to
come
to
the
kyng
atte
hys
maundement
and
callynge
/
or
ellis
to
goo
to
theyre
lorde
/
To
this
question
conformynge
the
precedente
/
I
ansuere
the
that
after
ryght
and
lawe
they
are
holden
to
come
to
the
kynge
and
leue
theyre
lorde
/
And
thre
reasons
assygneth
therunto
/
the
fyrst
is
/
that
the
kynges
werre
or
of
the
prynce
souerayne
beholdeth
the
comon
wele
and
vtylyte
of
all
the
realme
or
lande
/
the
whiche
werre
ought
to
be
more
previleged
than
the
synguler
vtylyte
of
a
baronye
/
The
seconde
is
/
that
they
are
holden
to
the
kynge
of
a
generall
iurisdictyon
whiche
is
of
mooste
auctoryte
/
and
hathe
a
hghe
powere
ouere
the
lowe
Iurysdycyon
of
a
baronye
/
Te
thyrde
reason
is
/
that
hyt
apperteyneth
not
/
that
the
lowe
offycer
haue
auctoryte
nor
puyssaunce
to
be
obeyed
byfore
the
lorde
/
and
leseth
hys
powere
/
assoone
as
the
auctoryte
of
the
souerayne
prynce
cometh
forthe
/
as
the
lyght
of
a
candelle
is
lytell
and
is
lost
/
assoone
as
that
the
bemes
of
the
some
cometh
on
/
Yet
another
questyon
I
putte
vnto
the
/
I
suppose
that
an
Erle
or
a
baron
of
the
realme
of
Fraunde
/
holdeth
certeyne
landes
of
the
kynge
of
Arragon
or
of
som
other
kynge
/
and
that
it
happeth
so
that
all
vpon
one
tyme
the
sayd
two
kynges
of
Fraunce
and
Arragon
/
sende
for
the
sayde
Erle
or
baron
for
to
help
them
in
theyre
werres
/
to
whyche
of
thees
two
kynges
shall
he
thenne
obeye
/
For
Imposyble
it
is
to
be
in
two
places
attones
/
and
it
shulde
seme
that
he
myght
be
excused
fro
goynge
to
nother
of
bothe
/
I
ansuere
the
shortly
that
he
can
not
excuse
hym self
nother
of
the
one
nor
for
the
other
wythout
he
wol
lese
the
ryght
of
fealtee

That
is
to
wite
/
that
he
muste
goo
to
that
one
of
whiche
he
holdeth
mooste
/
and
to
that
other
he
shall
sende
a
certeyne
of
hys
men
/
A
more
harde
questyon
I
the
demaunde

yf
it
happe
that
the
sayd
two
kynges
a
boue
sayd
make
werre
one
ayenst
the
other

I
can
not
fele
nor
vndrestande
to
whiche
of
bothe
he
ought
to
goo
/
but
that
he
shall
lese
one
of
hys
Landes

I
saye
to
the
/
that
the
precedente
ansuere
may
yet
serue
to
this
questyon
after
som
opynyons

that
is
to
wite

goo

the
one

and
sende

the
other

but
thys
thynge
cowde

wel
supported
in
ryght
/
For
yf
he
shulde
doo
soo
/
thenne
must
hys
owne
men
be
ayenst
hym

And
therfore
no
bettre
remedye

waye
I
can

but
to
chese
the
one
that
hym
shall
best
please

to
leue
and
for
sake
that
other
of
all
poyntes

or
ellis
to
haue
grace
of
eyther
of
them
that
he
shall
not
arme
hym self
nor
noon
of

And
knowest
thou
what
to

apperteyneth

On

Fyrst
it

euery

certeyne

that
taken
folke
in

is

for

the

that
they

taken

they

namely
supposed

that
ye
say

place
nought
dooynge

I
wol
to
thys
propos
make
vnto
the
som
demaundes

First
I
suppose
that
a
capytayne
with
a
companye
of
folke
be
reteyned
in
to
the
kynges
wages
&
by
his
comaundement
is
sent
in

Guyenne

somwhere
ellis
ayenst
hys
enemies

in
going
thither
hit
happeth
soo
that
they
lodge
hem
self
in
a
certeyne
place
where
the
folke
of
the
towne
haue
malycyously
poysonned
bothe
the
brede
and
the
wyne
there
/
wherby
som
of
them
dey
and
the
other
tarye
ther●e
syke
by
the
space
that
they
shulde
haue
serued
wherfore
it
is
not
in
theyre
powere
to
serue
the
kynge
as
they
had
promysed
/
Soo
demaunde
I
of
the
yf
they
ought
to
haue
lost
the
wages
of
that
tyme
to
this
questyon
I
ansuere
that
nay
without
faille
/
seeyng
yet
that
theyre
maladye
is
caused
of
the
seruyce
/
For
syknesse
by
the
lawe
excuseth
the
man
nor
for
this
case
he
ought
not
to
lese
ony
dystrybucyon

syth
that
the
malady
is
com
to
hym
after

wyl
make

a

reteyned

that
in
thys
meane
tyme
he

a

house

wherfore
he
cometh
to
the
capytayne

taketh
leue
of
hym
for
to
goo
see
hys
wyffe

hys
housholde

the

To

For

A

I
ansuere
the
that
for
to
determyne
hys
questyon
grete
consyderacyons
must
be
had

For
it
is
noo
doubte
but
that
of
a
comyn
man
of

shulde
suffyse
man
for

/
but
to
saye
that
yf
he
were
so
solempne

so
gretly

that
wyth

myght
another
kepe

and
that
he
shulde
leue
another
for
hym
muche
lesse

not

it

not

yf
it

that

dide
putte

thenne
wol
not
I
gaynsey
hys

For
as
I
haue
tolde
the

/
a

of

is
not
maister
of
hym self
/
syth
that
he
is
bounde

Therfore
I
telle
the
that
suche
a

shulde
not
be
therof
quyte
what
soeuere
a
doo
that
he
hadd
/
but
that
the
prynce
or
hed
captayne
sholde
holde
hym
for
quytte
by
grace
especyall
/
and
a
gode
reason
is
there
/
For
yf
he
had
bounde
hym self
to

ten
elles
of
Scarlete
and
that
he
shulde
paye
in

Whether

Capytulo

MAyster
I
remembre
me
that
thou
hast
sayd
here
afore
/
that
to
a
man
in
deffense
is
permytted
to
hurt
another
/
And
by
cause
that
all
hurtes
and
betynges
that
be
doon
by
euyll
wille
one
vpon

ben
and
may
be
called

membres
dependynge
of

I
make
vnto
the
suche
a
questyon
/
Yf
a
man
haue
hurt
another
and
assone
that
he
hath
light
his
stroke
vpon
he
renneth
awaye
as
faste
as
he
can
/
but
he
that
is
hurt
foloweth
after
tyl
that
he
ouertake
hym
/
and
semblabli
stryketh
and
hurteth
hym
/
So
demaunde
I
of
the
whether
he
that
foloweth
ought
to
be
punysshed
/
For
it
shulde
seme
by
thyn
owne
sayenges
Nay
/
seeynge
that
he
hathe
not
goon
beyonde
the
wayes
of
Iustyce
/
syth
that
he
was
first
hurt
/
thoughe
he
after
wardes
hurteth
/
and
namely
yf
he
had
slayn
hym
by
that
that
I
vndrestande
of
ryght
in
deffensynge
of
hys
body
/
yet
shulde
he
be
excused
/
&
also
he
hathe
doon
hyt
without
taryenge
/
For
yf
he
had
taryed
to
the
morn
after
I
wold
not
saye
that
it
were
vengence
I
ansuere
to
this
that
the
cas
that
thou
spekest
of
is
dyffered
fro
Iuste
deffense
/
the
whiche
is
preuyleged
/
that
is
to
wite
after
the
lawes
/
For
syth
that
the
fyrst
fled
awaye
after
his
stroke
/
the
lawe
graunteth
not
/
that
the
other
shulde
pursyewe
hym
nor
hurte
hym
/
and
therfore
he
deserueth
punycyon
/
But
trouthe
it
is
that
more
grete
punysshement
hathe
deserued
he
that
fyrst
stroke
&
hurted
/
And
yf
the
seconde
hathe
deserued
grete
or
lytell
punycyon
/
amonge
the
masters
be
therof
dyuerce
oppinions
/
Neuertheles
it
is
noo
doubte
that
the
fyrst
moeuynge
that
is
in
hym
to
fele
hym self
hurte
and
the
hasty
hete
that
causeth
and
chaffeth
hym
sore
to
folowe
/
excuseth
hym
moche
/
wherfore
more
moderatly
he
ought
to
be
punysshed
for
/
But
and
yf
he
had
slayne
that
other
sodaynly
whan
he
fyrst
stroke
hym
/
Iustyce
shulde
not
haue
had
ought
to
do
/
with
so
that
he
can
proue
that
he
was
assaylled
and
stryken
fyrst
/
by
cause
that
the
lawe
suffreth
to
slee
another
for
sauynge
of
his
owne
lyffe
/
&
yf
thou
telle
me
that
it
may
be
soo
/
that
he
that
assaylleth
fyrst
hath
noo
wille
for
to
slee
/
I
ansuere
the
/
that
soo
doeth
not
he
that
is
assaylled
/
And
also
strokes
be
not
stryken
after
noo
patron
/
For
suche
weneth
onely
to
stryke
that
sleeth
/
And
therfore
he
that
hathe
the
first
stroke
myght
wel
tarye
so
longe
are
he
strake
ayen
that
he
shulde
fynde
hym self
the
fyrst
slayne
/
But
thees
thynges
not
wythstandynge
for
conscience
and
for
alle
ought
aman
to
kepe
hym self
as
nyghe
as
he
can
that
he
slee
not
another
/
For
nothynge
what
soeuere
it
be
is
more
dyspleasaunte
vnto
god
than
for
to
dystroye
hys
lyke
/
and
he
is
the
Iuge
that
all
the

after

not

And

that

in

taketh
eny

Another
questyon
I
make
vnto
the
/
I
putte
caas
that
som
lorde
had
sent
for
som
souldyours
out
of
a
straunge
contrey
/
and
had
reteyned
them
in
hys
wages
for
a
hole
yere
for
to
comme
and
socoure
hym
in
hys
werre
whyche
he
thoughte
shulde
laste
longe
/
And
that
it
shulde
happe
thenne
that
or
euere
thys
folke
with
theyre
capytayne
myght
arryve
in
to
the
sayd
lordys
lande
/
How
wel
that
of
al
theyre
powere
they
had
hasted
them self
/
he
had
lost
all
hys
sayd
lande
/
in
so
muche
that
noo
socours
atte
all
/
myght
helpe
〈◊〉
nomore
/
Wherby
he
had
nomore
nede
of
noo
folke
/
I
aske
whether
the
sayd
souldyours
so
reteyned
myght
aske
theyre
wages
for
the
hole
yere
/
or
onely
fro
that
day
that
the
couenaunt
was
made
/
For
it
shulde
seme
ye
/
for
thys
that
an
aduocate
●f
the
Kynge
or
of
som
Lorde
takynge
a
pensyon
or
Fee
of
hys
mayster
by
the
yere
and
that
hathe
bygonne
to
do
hys
offyce
/
hys
wages
of
the
hole
yere
are
due
vnto
hym
For
yf
he
deyed
wythin
the
fyrst
monethe
of
the
yere
after
the
Interynacyon
of
hys
offyce
hys
heyre
myght
haue
an
actyon
for
to
demaunde
the
hole
payement
of
hys
wages
/
¶
Why
thenne
myght
not
thees
folke
enioye
thys
ryght
aswell
as
they
/
And
also
it
may
wel
be
that
they
haue
lost
by
meane
of
the
same
as
good
wages
of
whyche
they
shulde
haue
be
sure
for
a
hole
yere
in
som
other
place
/
¶
And
many
other
reasons
myght
be
yet
al
playnly
sayde
whyche
I
leue
for
shortynge
of
the
matyere
¶
Fayre
loue
I
aunsuere
the
shorthy
that
thees
reasons
and
all
other
that
thou
coude
saye
therto
are
of
noo
value
¶
For
I
make
the
sure
that
for
content
they
ought
to
bolde
hem
self
to
be
onely
payed
for
the
whyche
that
they
haue
serued
/
¶
And
here
ys
the
reason
/
They
were
reteyned
for
souldyours
for
to
kepe
the
lande
or
euere
that
hit
was
lost
/
But
syth
that
it
is
lost
they
can
noo
more
serue
therfore
/
and
thus
they
ought
not
to
deserue
the
wages
of
a
seruyce
whyche
they
can
not
doo
/
that
is
to
wyte
to
kepe
a
lande
whyche
is
al
redy
loste
/
And
the
lawe
byndeth
noo
man
to
a
thynge
that
is
Impossyble
/
For
yf
by
compulsyon
they
wolde
be
payed
men
myght
saye
vnto
them
/
and
ye
shal
be
al
so
compelled
to
kepe
that
whyche
is
al
redy
loste
/
how
can
that
be
doo
/
And
by
thys
concludeth
that
that
is
sayde
/
Now
good
mayster
here
me
a
lytel
yf
thou
be
so
pleased
/
I
aske
of
the
/
yf
whan
men
of
werre
are
taken
in
to
wages
/
and
that
of
theyre
payement
be
noo
faulte
made
/
Whethere
it
behoueth
them
wyth
theyre
wages
truly
payed
to
take
vytailles
vpon
the
countrey
/
and
to
dyspoylle
and
take
dyuerse
other
thynges
as
they
comonly
doo
thys
day
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
I
ansuere
the
certeynly
that
nay
/
and
that
suche
a
thynge
is
noo
poynt
of
the
ryght
of
werre
/
But
it
is
an
evylle
extorcyon
and
a
grete
vyolence
made
wrongfully
and
wyth
grete
synne
vpon
the
people
/
For
thus
as
thy self
haste
sayde
here
to fore
/
that
a
prynce
that
wyl
make
werre
ought
before
hande
to
aduyse
and
see
where
&
how
hys
fynaunce
shal
be
made
and
taken
/
and
aboue
all
thynges
he
ought
to
ordeyne
so
that
hys
folke
be
well
payed
wherby
they
may
truly
paye
that
whyche
they
take
/
be
it
vytaylle
or
other
thynges
/
And
then
it
were
a
Iuste
thynge
to
punysshe
wel
theym
that
wythout
money
shulde
take
eny
thynge
what
someuere
it
were
/
But
by
argumentacyon
thou
myghtest
ageyn
saye
to
me
/
and
yf
caas
were
that
the
ennemyes
cam
in
to
the
lande
sodaynly
/
wherfore
it
were
nede
to
make
a
sodayne
deffense
or
euere
that
the
prynce
might
haue
purueyed
for
so
grete
a
fynaunce
as
muste
be
had
for
to
paye
monethly
a
grete
quantyte
of
men
of
werre
/
But
yf
a
tresore
be
had
/
I
ansuere
the
/
that
in
al
thynge
that
is
of
nede
men
muste
helpe
hem
self
as
they
can
best
after
theyre
powere
/
For
whan
that
thys
caas
were
/
the
prynce
shulde
be
ynoughe
excused
/
yf
he
suffred
them
to
take
/
that
is
to
wyte
al
onely
vytaylles
necessaryly
as
they
passed
forthe
for
sustenaunce
of
theyre
bodyes
onely
to
the
lest
hurt
vpon
the
poure
labourers
that
myght
be

not
that
they
shulde

they

Semblably
many
of

the

For
there

Alas

For

Dere

For

And
there
is
a
manere
to
vndrestand
in
what
cases

in
what

thees

For
yf

auncyently

What

suche

But
the
forsayde

affermeth
the
decree

by

is

wherof

I

that
it

I

that

yf
it

And
yf

apparteyneth

Wel
I
wndrestande
the
maister

now
telle

that
syth
that
we
crysten
men
atte
thys
day
haue
lefte
the
auncyent
lawes
to
putte
in

to
slee

I
aske
of
the
yf
Iustly
men
may
demaunde
of
a

a
fynaunce
of
gold

of
siluer
or
of
som
other
moeuable
goodis
after
this
that
men
vsen
comonly
in
faytte
of

For
yf
I
remembre
me
well
/
thou
hast
sayde
here
byfore
/
that
to
a
pryso●er
is
myldefulnes
due
of
ryght
vnto
hym
/
and
me
semeth
that
sith
it
is
due
to
hym
after
ryght
/
men
doo
hym
wronge
thenne
to
make
hym
paye
reanson
where
as
men
doo
to
hym
noo
misericorde
/
I
telle
the
yet
and
ansuere
vpon
a
newe
that
veryly
is
myldefulnes
due
vnto
hym
in
two
maners
/
that
is
to
wyte
/
that
the
lawe
ought
to
be
respited
to
hym
/
and
the
lyf
saued
/
and
more
harde
I
telle
the
that
the
mayster
is
holden
of
ryght
and
bounde
to
helpe
his
prysoner
aienst
another
that
wolde
offense
hym
/
¶
Item
with
this
is
myldefulnes
due
to
hym
in
suche
a
manere
that
yf
it
were
possyble
that
a
man
of
armes
had
al
that
he
is
worthe
vpon
hym
atte
that
owre
that
he
is
taken
altogider
may
be
to
the
mayster
that
taketh
hym
without
that
he
shewe
hym
fauour
and
doo
to
hym
myserycorde
/
But
of
ryght
vryton
he
ought
to
be
myldefull
vnto
hym
so
that
in
takyng
of
his
prysoner
reanson
whyche
is
permytted
in
ryght
of
armes
/
by
especyall
of
one
natyon
ayenst
another
whan
they
doo
werre
togyder
as
englysshe
men
and
Frenshe
men
and
other
in
lyke
wyse
ought
to
be
taken
heede
that
the
reanson
be
not
so
cruell
that
the
man
be
not
vndoo
therby
&
his
wiffe
&
children
distroied
and
brought
to
pouerte
/
Other
wise
it
is
tirannye
/
ayenst
conscience
&
aienst
al
ryght
of
armes
/
For
it
apparteyneth
not
that
a
gentylman
shulde
begge
hys
brede
after
the
payement
made
for
hys
reanson
but
ought
to
be
lefte
hym
wherof
he
may
lyue
/
kepyng
his
astate
/
And
wel
ought
to
be
praysed
the
vsage
of
ytalye
/
in
whiche
werres
whan
a
man
of
armes
is
taken
/
he
comonly
leseth
but
onely
his
horses
&
harneys
/
So
nedeth
hym
not
to
selle
his
lyflode
nor
to
desheryte
hym self
for
to
paye
his
reanson
/
Thus
mayst
thou
see
in
what
manere
is
reanson
couenable
Iuste
and
good
after
the
ryght
o●●rmes
whiche
is
permytted
/
But
for
to
putte
a
man
in
an
euyll
pryson
and
constrayne
by
tormentynges
to
paye
more
then
hys
power
may
bere
it
is
an
homynable
horreur
and
the
dede
of
a
cruel
crysten
tyraunt
wers
than
a

And
wote
thou
for

that
that

yf

it

therfore
sent
the

that

shall
kepe

In
the
name
of
god
sayde
the
man

supposed

ye

what
someuere
it
be

without

the

For
why
ye

Thees
reasons
harde

saye
thou
my

now
what
thou
therupon
thinkest
/
wythout
fayll
mayster
syth
that
it
pleaseth
the
/
that
my
lytel
and
sobre
aduyse
shall
serue
in
thys
bihalfe
/
I
telle
the
/
that
yf
it
be
so
and
wythout
frawde
/
that
he
of
whom
thou
spekest
be
a
true
scoler
/
that
is
to
saye
/
that
he
were
not
come
vndre
fyction
to
lerne
conninge
/
for
to
aspye
or
to
doo
som
other
euyll
/
I
holde
hys
cause
for
goode
and
that
he
ought
not
to
be
take
prysonner
/
prouyded
al
wayes
/
but
yf
the
kynge
had
made
to
be
cryed
by
hys
maundement
especyall
that
noon
englishman
what
someuere
he
were
shulde
not
come
to
studye
in
hys
royalme
/
Thou
hast
ryghtwelt
Iuged
and
wysely
dystynged
/
For
namely
yf
the
bysshopryche
of
parys
were
wythout
a
bysshop
of
ellis
th
archebysshopryche
of
roen
or
of
sens
or
of
other
of
the
sayd
royalme
/
and
that
an
englysheman
were
therunto
elected
&
chosen
/
the
kynge
by
rayson
may
gaynsaye
to
the
same
/
For
why
the
rayson
is
suche
/
that
it
is
not
expedient
nor
behoful
to
the
kynge
nor
to
the
royalme
for
to
haue
there
hys
ennemyes
resydent
/
But
yet
ansuere
me
to
thys
/
supposed
that
the
scoler
ought
not
to
be
taken
there
prysoner
/
what
shal
thou
saye
to
me
of
hys
seruauntes
yf
he
brynge
one
or
two
or
more
wyth
hym
out
of
englande
/
For
the
preuylege
that
scolers
haue
in
parys
was
not
gyuen
for
theyre
seruauntes
In
gode
feith
maister
vndre
thy
correction
not
wistandyng
this
reason
/
me
semeth
that
vndre
the
preuylege
of
the
maister
whiche
is
a
true
scoler
as
it
is
sayde
ought
to
be
comprised
hys
seruauntes
/
ryght
soo
as
in
the
sauegarde
that
the
kinge
gyueth
to
hys
offyciers
be
comprysed
theyre
seruauntes
and
all
theyre
famylle
or
meyne
/
But
of
the
mayster
I
wol
aske
one
thynge
/
I
putte
cas
that
the
sayde
scoler
were
taken
wyth
a
syknes
/
myght
of
ryght
hys
fader
come
to
vysyte
&
see
hym
without
parell
/
To
thys
I
ansuere
the
/
that
after
ryght
wryton
/
but
yf
he
cam
there
for
falshed
as
it
is
sayde
/
he
myght
aad
ought
to
come
sauffe
there
/
For
why
the
reason
is
suche
/
that
more
grete
is
the
ryght
of
nature
than
is
the
ryght
of
werre
/
Soo
is
the
loue
of
the
fader
and
of
the
moder
to
theyre
sone
so
muche
preuyleged
/
that
noo
ryght
of
armes
may
not
surmounte
the
same
/
And
yet
more
harde
I
telle
the
/
that
yf
the
fader
went
for
to
see
and
vysite
his
childe
beynge
in
gode
helthe
studyeng
atte
the
scoles
wythin
parys
or
where
so
euere
it
were
/
for
to
bere
hym
other
vitaylles
or
syluere
/
he
ought
not
to
be
arrested
nor
taken
for
the
same
of
what
so
euer
countrey
frende
or
foo
that
he
were
of
And
thys
sentence
is
determyned
in
the
lawe
lyke
as
I
saye
and
semblably
ought
not
to
be
apeched
nor
letted
the
brother
the
kynnesman
nor
the
seruaunt
that
syluer
or
bokes
shulde
bringe
hym
/
but
I
presuppose
al
wayes
reserued
the
clauses
aboue
sayde
/
For
it
is
all
by
vertue
of
the
preuyleges
that
scolers
haue
in

scoles

is
paris
and
other

be
his

but
that
other
ansuereth
that
it
is
not
right
/
For
in
the
kynge
of
englandes
werres
he
neuere
armed
him self
nor
neuere
went
ayenst
the
kynge
of
Fraunce
nor
neuer
gyrded
swerde
nor
gaff
noo

/
but
hathe
alwayes
be
sory
for
the

whiche
al
weyes
of
all
his

hathe
discoūseylled
/
&
that
shal
be
proued
for
a

&
with
this
saithe
he
I
telle
you
that
an
olde
man
as
I
am
that
is
not
shapen
to
were
nor
bere
armes
nor
harneis
ought
not
of
ryght
to
be
kepte
in

/
soo
ye
may
not
nor
ought
not
to
take
nother
the
goodes
nor
the
prysoners
of
them
that
entremete
not
withe
the
werre
/
but
yf
it
were
that
they
gaffe
helpe
&
fauoure
to
maynten
the
werre
aienst
the
kynge
of
fraunce
of
theire
free
&
goode
wille
/
for
yf
by
force
it
were
yet
shulde
they
be
excused
after
ryght
/
but
of
all
this
neither
by
force
nor
for
loue
I
haue
doon
nothinge
&
all
this
I
wyl
preue
true
/
soo
demaunde
I
of
the
maister
yf
a
man
may
in
suche
a
cas
be
kepte
in
prison
after
the
ryght
of
armes
/
I
telle
the
as
aboue
that
veryly
nay
in
cas
that
the
saide
excuse
might
be
suffisauntly
proued
/
but
&
it
were
soo
that
he
had
gyuen
or
gaffe
pertynent
counseill
to
the
werre
in
what
soeuer
manere
that
it
were
as
many
an
olde
man
doth
that
by
his
counseill
dooth
muche
more
therto
/
than
other
yong
men
doo
by
theire
armes
Now
wel
maister
another
manere
awaie
I
wil
spek
telle
me
thenne
/
&
a
frenshmen
had
taken
a
litell
childe
of
an
englishman
/
might
he
aske
by
ryght
any
raunson
for
hym
for
it
shulde
seme
ye
/
seen
that
he
that
may
wel
make
the
more
grete
a
thinge
/
may
wel
make
the
smallest
/
as
what
to
saye
he
myght
wel
take
prysoner
the
fader
yf
the
cas
befell
why
not
the
childe
aswell
/
for
he
might
wel
take
the
faders
goodes
and
the
childe
as
himself
saithe
is
comprised
for
the
faders
goodis
/
I
telle
the
certeynly
that
after
right
the
litel
child
may
nor
ought
not
to
be
kept
prysoner
/
for
reason
wil
not
accorde
/
that
innocencye
be
a
greued
for
it
is
veray
trouthe
that
a
childe
in
suche
a
cas
is
innocent
&
not
coulpable
of
all
werre
in
al
manere
of
thingis
/
wherfore
he
ought
not
to
bere
the
peyne
of
that
wherof
he
is
not
in
fawte
nor
of
counseill
nor
of
goodes
he
hathe
nought
holpen
therto
for
he
hathe
as
yet
noon
Ye
maister
/
but
supposed
that
the
said
child
were
ryche
of
hym self
as
of
his
fader
&
moders
godes
that
be
dede
/
mooste
he
paye
/
For
it
might
be
soo
that
his
tutoures
or
they
that
haue
the
rule
ouer
his
goodis
shulde
paye
a
subsydye
of
hys
goodes
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
for
to
maynten
his
werre
in
Fraunce
/
Yet
y
telle
the
that
nay
/
for
what
that
his
tutoures
paied
therof
it
were
not
of
the
childes
wille
whiche
is
not
yet
in
age
of
discrecion
/
without
faille
maister
thenne
is
not
this
daye
this
law
wel
kepte
/
thou
saist
to
me
trouthe
fayre
loue
/
nor
yet
be
nomore
kept
nother
the
noble
ryghtes
of
olde
tyme
that
helde
and
truly
dyde
kepe
the
noble
conquerours
/
Thus
abusen
with
the
right
of
armes
they
that
now
doo
excersice
them
by
the
grete
coueytyse
that
ouercometh
them
/
soo
ought
to
tourne
them
to
a
grete
shame
for
to
emprisone
wymen
or
children
&
impotent
&
olde
/
&
thys
custome
that
they
haue
brought
vp
ought
to
be
reproued
to
theire
grete
deshonour
&
blame
/
lyke
as
otherwhile
haue
doon
duringe
the
warre
in
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
whiche
as
longe
as
fortune
was
for
them
they
spared
nother
ladies
nor
dameselles
grete
smalle
nor
lytel
whan
they
toke
the
fortresses
but
they
were
all
putte
to
raunson
asmany
as
were
founde
there
/
whiche
is
a
grete
shame
to
them
for
to
take
that
whiche
can
not
reuenge
hemself
/
&
ought
wel
to
haue
suffised
them
for
to
haue
take
the
saisine
of
the
fortres
and
that
the
ladies
had
goon
quytte
/
But
that
that
to
them
is
happed
atte
the
last
may
al
ynoughe
&
ought
to
be
ensample
to
al
other
warryours
for
to
deale
other
wyse
/
for
be
ye
in
certeyne
that
noo
good
euyl
goten
can
not
be
longe
possessed
nor
kept
of
hym
that
geteth
hit
nor
of
his
heyres
Now
late
vs
see
of
another
debat
/
yf
a
blynde
man
happe
to
be
taken
of
a
man
of
armes
/
ought
he
to
kepe
pryson
/
I
telle
the
that
yf
a
blynde
man
shulde
putte
hym self
to
be
a
man
of
armes
thrughe
his
folye
/
&
happeth
to
be
taken
/
he
is
worthy
to
haue
worse
than
another
&
this
I
may
proue
by
the
holy
scripture
where
it
is
spoken
howe
Caym
slewe
Abel
his
brother
and
how
a
blynde
man
that
was
called
Lameth
toke
a
bowe
/
&
went
shotynge
by
wodes
&
hedges
huntynge
the
wyld
bestes
/
and
by
aduenture
his
arowe
lighte
vpon
caym
and
slew
hym
/
wherof
god
saide
that
the
synne
of
Caym
shulde
be
punysshed
seuen
tymes
/
But
the
synne
of
Lameth
shulde
be
punysshed
/
lxxvj
/
tymes
/
Wherby
it
appereth
that
for
to
putte
hym self
to
an
office
in
whiche
he
be
not
suffysant
/
it
is
a
souerayne
folye
But
yf
a
simple
blinde
man
were
taken
pyte
were
due
vnto
hym
/
and
yf
he
were
suche
that
he
before
tyme
had
seen
/
And
was
a
man
of
armes
in
the
werre
/
and
so
gaffe
counseyll
to
the
enemyes
to
do
bataylle
or
to
stele
a
place
or
that
aduysed
them
of
som
other
cawtele
that
wel
knowe
hym
/
I
aske
whether
he
ought
to
be
kepte
in
pryson
/
For
it
shulde
seme
/
ye
/
seeyng
that
th
e●tent
of
his
comyng
was
for
to
werre
ayenst
the
kynge
there
and
for
to
hurte
the
royalme
/
To
this
I
ansuere
the
that
we
fynde
in
the
ryght
writon
that
a
madde
man
duryng
his
fourour
may
not
be
reputed
nor
taken
for
enemye
/
for
he
hathe
non
arbytre
of
free
wylle
where
reason
cannot
werke
wherfore
thenne
yf
he
slewe
a
/
c
/
men
he
shulde
not
be
punysshed
therfore
by
iustice
nor
taken
for
homycyde
/
&
suche
a
man
can
nother
yelde
nor
gyue
feythe
to
paye
eny
raunson
/
who
shall
he
thenne
be
prysoner
/
And
to
putte
in
pryson
a
man
that
namely
is
vexed
wyth
suche
a
maladie
what
a
valyauntnes
were
it
certes
it
were
grete
synne
/
&
rather
euery
noble
man
shulde
peyne
him self
after
hys
powere
to
administre
vnto
him
helthe
of
witte
&
aduyse
/
Soo
telle
I
to
the
that
he
can
not
nor
ought
not
by
ryght
to
be
kepte
in
pryson
nor
paye
noo
raunson
/
but
ought
to
be
yolden
ageyn
to
his
frendes
/
&
more
yet
I
telle
the
/
We
putte
caas
that
he
beynge
in
pryson
shulde
gwarysshe
there
of
his
syknes
/
yet
ought
he
not
to
be
kept
nor
paie
noo
manere
of
raunson
/
the
cause
why
is
bycause
that
whan
he
was
taken
he
had
nother
witte
nor
powere
for
to
deffende
hym
/
of
the
whiche
for
to
Iuge
rightewisly
of
armes
noo
man
ought
to
be
taken
prysoner
/
but
that
he
first
yeldeth
him self
by
worde
of
hys
owne
mouthe
or
ellis
by
som
signe
but
how
shulde
he
doo
this
/
for
as
the
lawe
saithe
suche
a
man
can
not
make
noo
testament
nor
mary
himself
nor
entre
in
to
religyon
/
the
whiche
thinges
requyren
free
wille
/
nor
namely
he
may
not
receyue
batesme
yf
he
were
not
baptyzed
whiche
is
neuer
gyuen
vnto
man
/
but
yf
he
requyreth
hit
with
his
free
wille
&
therfore
there
is
noo
cause
why
he
shulde
be
kept
prysoner
/
how
thenne
maister
thou
tellest
me
merueylle
som
place
notable
/
but
of
suche
thynges
as
he
had
taken
by
the
waye
/
And
namely
seynge
that
they
neded
to
take
horses
and
caryage
for
to
bere
them self
and
theyre
fadellage
as
that
seknes
or
other
lettynge
myght
come
by
the
waye
/
or
as
it
may
wel
be
/
for
to
brynge
certeyn
presentes
to
the
kynge
/
they
ought
to
goo
bothe
them self
and
theyre
thynges
sauffe
But
it
myght
wel
be
that
som
coloure
of
debate
may
be
herof
in
caas
that
without
veray
nede
they
had
brought
wyth
them
som
englyshemen
for
to
gyue
hem
sporte
and
that
horses
or
other
thynges
were
in
the
companye
longyng
to
them
/
For
of
suche
autoryte
they
myght
brynge
in
to
fraunce
the
enemyes
of
the
royalme
/
so
were
it
not
thenne
dyscuted
wythout
cause
/
For
to
knowe
yet
more
I
beseche
the
mayster
that
thou
wyl
telle
me
yf
Frenshemen
myght
by
ryght
take

Fayre

that
that
dyuerse
tymes
I
haue
al

concluded
may
thy

that
is
to
wyte
that
we
saye
after

that
th

I
ansuere
the
that

nor
they

For
it
apparteyneth
not
to
noo
man
of
the

to

it
is

yf
it

that
theyre

I
saye
that

And
that

NOw
wil
I
make
the
another
demaunde
that
of
the
precedent
as
of
a
prysonner
of
werre
alynoughe
dependeth
I
putte
caas
that
a
knyght
hath
taken
in
werre
his
ennemye
/
and
hath
putte
hym
in
a
castel
or
in
to
som

I
aske
the
yf
the
prysoner
seeth
tyme
and
place
for
to
escape
awaye
by
cawtelle
or
subtylte
/
Whether
he
may
do
thys
lawfully
after
the
ryght
of
werre
/
for
I
make
doubte
that
he
may
for
many
raysons
/
fyrst
/
bicause
he
hathe
taken
hym
his
feyth
/
soo
may
not
he
goo
awaye
without
he
must
be
forsworne
whyche
ys
a
thyng
that
the
lawe
can
not
graunte
that
a
man
shall
forswere
hym self
/
the
other
is
/
that
right
wil
not
that
men
shal
not
doo
to
other
/
otherwyse
than
they
wold
be
doon
vnto
/
and
thys
man
wolde
not
that
hys
prysonner
yf
he
had
eny
shulde
paye
hym
soo
/
and
thus
dooyng
he
dooth
trespas
ayenst
thys
Lawe
/
that
other
is
that
he
is
lyke
his
seruaunt
and
in
hys
mercy
vnto
tyme
that
he
haue
acquytted
hym self
of
hys
raunson
/
Thenne
thus
he
mysdoeth
as
me
semeth
in
as
moche
that
he
taketh
hym self
from
hym
as
hys
owne
pure
and
propre
gode
/
whiche
can
not
be
doo
with
out
mespryse

Nowe
fayre
loue
to
thys
I
shal
ansuere
the
for
that
other
partye
/
and
moche
is
here
to
see
to
/
For
herof
behoueth
to
be
determyned
after
the
cyrcomstances
/
I
telle
the
that
men
may
saye
for
that
other
that
he
had
in
thys
no
thynge
trespassed
/
For
he
hathe
doon
after
the
lawe
of
nature
whyche
gyueth
to
al
manere
of
personne
a
ryght
to
be
in

¶
Item
whan
he
gaaf
hys
feyth
it
was
by
force
and
by
compulsyon
doon
/
And
the
lawe
compelled
not
to
kepe
a
promesse
made
of

and
other
reasons
myght
be

But
as
to
the
ryght
of

whyche
is
permytted
by
all
lawe
/
al
that
maketh
but
lytel
/
For
to
the
ryght
for
to
goo
I
telle
the
that
whan
a
man
is
taken
and
gyueth
his
feith
to
kepe
pryson
wythout
faylle
he
can
not
departe
awaie
but
he
wyl
trespasse
bothe
ayenst

take

Whether

false
of

othe
Capytulo

xxiiij

I
suppose
master
that
a

a

be
wythyn
the

of
som

of

so
grete
a

is
made

that
men

for

that
yf
he
wythin
certeyn
espace
of

haue
not
doon
his

he
shal
be
slayne

wherfore
he
requyreth
for
goddis

for
pyte
that
men
wil
late
him
goo

his

for
to
gete

&
that
without
any

he
wil
come

And
shortly
to
saye
men
gyue
hym
leue
to
goo
vpon
hys

made

taken
of
hym
vpon
the
holy
gospell
of
oure
lorde
/
by
whyche
he
swereth
that
for
to
deye
he
shall
not
leue
but
that
he
shall
come
ayen
within
the
day
that
he
hathe
promysed
/
and
so
it
happeth
that
it
is
Impossyble
to
hym
for
to
gete
hys
raunson
/
now
is
to
be
knowen
whether
he
ought
to
tourne
ageyne
for
to
presente
hym self
to
the
dethe
whyche
is
promysed
to
him
/
for
namely
it
is
wryton
in
the
romayn
histories
that
the
noble
romayns
conquerours
dyde
som
tyme
soo
that
rather
wolde
expose
hem
self

to

yf
they
that

byleue
that
swered
wolde
leuer

It
is
thenne
to
byleue
that
bettre
ought
the
crysten
men
to
kepe
theire
othes
made
vpon
the
holy
gospel
of

god
than
they
/
fayre

to
the

of

ben
ouer

that
myght

what
that
som
doctoures
wil
holde
that
a
man
shulde
rather
be
willing
for
to
deye
/
than
for
to
forswere
the
name
of
god
the
whiche
thus
is
true
in
som
cas
/
but
as
to
the
same
whiche
is
parforced
&
vyolently
made
for
to
saue
his
owne
lyfe
●
it
is
not
determyned
that
it
were
the
best
/
&
wat
he
is
holden
therto
I
shall
say
the
reasons
/
I
telle
the
that
after
the
ryght
wryten
an
othe
that
ayenst
wele
and
vtylyte
and
namely
ayenst
good
condycyons
made
/
is
not
to
be
kept
/
And
what
that
it
is
evyll
to
forsuere
hym self
/
It
is
yet
worse
to
kepe
suche
an
othe
/
¶
Soo
ought
to
be
chosen
of
thees
two
euyll
the
best
/
lyke
as
a
man
shal
be
sworne
vpon
the
gospel
or
vpon
the
holy
body
of
oure
lorde
that
he
shal
slee
a
man
or
ellis
shal
do
som
other
gret
euyll
/
it
is
noo
dowte
but
that
moche
more
werse
he
shulde
doo
for
to
slee
a
man
or
to
sette
a
house
on
a
fyire
or
som
other
grete
euyll
/
than
he
shulde
doo
in
suche
a
cas
for
to
forswere
himself
/
what
though
he
dede
dedly
sinne
at
the
fyrst
whan
he
dede
swere
/
for
thinges
that
be
vnraisonable
he
ought
not
to
be
sworne
/
now
it
is
so
that
noon
ought
to
thinke
the
contrary
/
that
noo
man
after
the
lawe
is
not
master
of
his
body
for
to
putte
hit
to
be
slayne
or
his
limes
to
be
cut
asondre
nomore
/
than
of
an
another
body
for
yf
he
slewe
himself
/
the
iustice
wil
punyshe
the
body
&
att
a
gybet
shal
hange
hit
shamefully
/
also
yf
he
dede
cut
hys
lymes
he
shulde
also
be
punished
by
the
iustice
as
another
had
doon
hit
/
wherfore
I
telle
that
yet
ayen
that
it
is
not
in
him
for
to
binde
himself
by
suche
manere
of
wise
/
nor
the
othe
bindeth
him
not
for
it
is
of
noo
value
/
&
more
I
telle
the
/
It
is
of
right
writon
that
yf
a
man
may
kepe
another
from
deth
/
&
he
doth
it
not
/
we
saye
that
he
hathe
killed
him
/
he
thenne
trespasseth
not
/
yf
he
doo
kepe
for
hym self
that
right
whiche
he
ought
to
kepe
for
another
/
that
is
to
wit
to
eschewe
his
dethe
&
this
is
as
for
to
excuse
the
extremytee
of
the
thing
/
&
to
supplie
that
whiche
he
coude
not
amende
touching
the
payement
of
his
raunson
/
But
for
al
this
I
telle
the
not

but
that
he
is
holden
to
make
his

assoone

vndre

so
aske
I
and
beseke
that
hyt
may
be
enter●ned
and
kepte
to
me
after
the
tenoure
therof
/
This
questyon
comen
to
iugement
I
aske
the
whiche
of
bothe
hath
the
right
I
saie
the
frenshman
For
after
the
ryght
wryton
/
in
suche
a
generalyte
ought
not
to
be
vndrestande
a
gretter
man
than
he
is
hym self
/
For
yf
a
man
gyueth
a
procuracyon
to
another
for
to
doo
&
execute
certeyn
thynges
of
hys
owne
/
it
is
not
therfore
to
be
vndrestande
that
he
gyueth
him
a
generall
procuracyon
/
or
that
he
ought
to
abuse
therof
/
&
in
especyall
in
fayt
of

/
neuer
suche
a
thinge
shulde
right
suffre
to
passe
/
For
it
myght
tourne
to
preiudice
to
the
personne
that
gyueth
the
saueconduyt
/
Now
I
aske
the
another
thinge
/
I
suppose
that
a
chyef
captayne
of
an
oste
of
Fraunce
whiche
is
sent
by
the
kynge
vpon
the
fronteres
/
saith
and
affermeth
that
he
hathe
the
powere
for
to
gyue
saufconduyte
thrughe
all
Guyenne
/
Wherfore
he
doo
sende
worde
to
the
Seneshall
of
Bordewx
that
he
wil
com
vnto
a
certeyn
place
vpon
the
frenshe
grounde
/
by
cause
that
gladly
he
wolde
speke
with
him
/
&
for
to
doo
soo
he
sendeth
hym
a
saufconduit
wherupon
the
sayde
seneshal
departeth
vpon
the
suretee
of
the
same
saufconduyt
for
to
come
to
the
place
that
is
saide
betwene
hem
/
but
it
happeth
him
to
be
taken
of
som
frenshe
men
by
the
waye
that
putte
hym
in
to
pryson
/
I
aske
the
wether
the
sayde
chief
captayne
is
holden
to
gete
him
out
of
prison
atte
his
expenses
/
For
it
semeth
ye
/
seeyng
that
by
his
assewraunce
he
is
fallen
in
to
that
Incouenyence
and
domage
/
Fayre
loue
the
contrary
is
trouthe
/
&
knowe
thou
why
For
it
is
sayde
comonly
that
without
a
cause
shulde
a
man
be
called
a
fole
without
that
his
folye
shulde
be
causer
of
hys
domage
And
it
is
clerly
certeyn
that
the
seneshal
ought
not
to
haue
byleued
the
captayne
/
but
yf
he
wyst
for
certeyn
that
the
frenshmen
wolde
kepe
his
saufconduyt
wherfore
thenne
yf
he
hathe
ben
symple
and
folyshe
/
the
hurt
and
domage
must
a
light
and
abyde
vpon
hym
/
for
with
all
this
he
ought
wel
to
wite
/
that
a
captayne
hathe
noo
powere
to
kepe
hym
sure
but
fro
his
owne
folke
/
And
sithe
thenne
that
other
frenshmen
that
be
not
of
his
retenue
haue
doon
vnto
hym
the
same
/
what
can
the
sayde
captayne
doo
therof
/
And
also
it
is
noo
ryght
that
one
shall
gyue
a
preuylege
to
one
that
is
gretter
than
hym self
for
to
come
in
to
the
royalme
of
his
souerayne
lorde
/
nor
namely
yf
he
were
bounde
to
kepe
hym
sauffe
/
all
shulde
not
auaylle
/
For
an
oblygacyon
made
ayenst
power
is
of
noo
value
/
and
all
other
the
whiche
be
in
the
ryght
of
armes
ought
not
to
be
vnknowen
to
the
seneshall
/
otherwise
he
were
vnworthy
and
not
alle
to
that
effice
Soo
thenne
I
conclude
for
that
the
captayne
had
gyuen
the
saufconduyt
for
true
and
goode
whiche
hathe
ben
of
noo
value
/
he
is
not
therfore
holden
to
paye
the
sayde
raunson
Neuertheles
yf
he

he
is
holden

towardis
the

his

putte

as

belongynge

is
the

I
knowe
what
thou
wilt
saye

For
sothe
they
be
not
holden
therto
nor
namely
noon
other
kynge
crysten
after
the

of

the

therof

of

myght
also
doubte

it
is

therfore
what

whan
he
is
requyred

gyue
hit
ayenst
som
countrey

cyte

he

therto

I

shew
it

Trouthe
it
is
also
that
oftymes
it
hathe
be

he
that

wherfore
a

remembreth
suche

how
vpon

to

MAyster
I
aske
/
yf
it
falle
soo
betwene
two

that
befyght

/
that
the

of
hem
breketh
the

For
I
holde

thys

Whether
by

For
syn
it
is
in

that
thou
hast

that
is
to
wyte
that
the
armures
Inuasyble

deffensable

fygured

taken

and
proues
wher
wyth
all

It

that

yf

For
yf

/
after
the
rayson
of
suche
ryght
as
he
awayteth
ther
to

a
grete
consyderacyon
ought
to
be
had
here
for
to
iuge
of
the
same

For
a
grete
dyfference
is
there
yf
the
swerde
is
by
aduenture
falle
from
hys
hande
/
or
yf
that
other
hathe
taken

yf
by
folyshnes
he
shulde

lyke
wyse
of

But
yf
the
swerde
by

brake
by
the
strokes
that
he
hym self
shulde
gyue
wyth
all

and
not
by
the
effort

strengthe
of
hys
aduersarye
and
that
he
had
nomore
weren
for
to
deffende
hym self

and
that
by
suche
manere
he
had
lost
it
all

Without
faylle
som
maystres
sayen
that
men
shulde
do
hym
wrong
but
that
they
sholde
gyue
him
other
harneyse

selden
it
happeth
a

to
entre
in
to
a
clos
felde
wythout
that

garnysshed
wyth

soo
may
he
helpe
hym self
wythe
that
one
whan
that
other
is
lost
or
faylleth

Now
sire
:
and
yf
it
hap
that
the
iuge
can
not
knowe
the
fyrst
daye
whiche
of
bothe
is
ouercome
are
they
holden
to
retourne
the
morowe
after
/
I
telle
the
certeynly
that
ye
yf
it
be
in
theyre
powere
/
so
that
they
haue
enterprised
to
be
fyght
eche
other
atte
theyre
vttermoost
hynderaunce
in
cas
that
noon
other
condycyon
were
not
sett
afore
/
So
can
thei
not
be
assoylled
nor
quyte
vnto
the
tyme
that
the
one
of
them
be
ouercome
though
that
it
tarye
neuer
so
longe
/
reserued
al
wayes
the
comaundement
of
the
prynce
contrary
to
the
same
/
or
that
they
shulde
accorde
hem
self
togyder
by
maundement
of
the
kynge
/
For
other
wyse
they
may
not
doo
it
after
that
they
be
ones
entred
within
the
felde
/
But
the
prynce
ought
to
be
piteouse
vpon
the
same
hauing
mercy
of
thees
two
men
that
be
not
onely
in
parell
of
bodyly
lyf
and
worship
but
also
in
Ieopardye
of
theyre
sowles
/
Telle
me
yet
master
&
teche
me
whiche
of
bothe
ought
fyrst
to
smite
the
fyrst
strok
whan
they
bothe
two
be
within
the
felde
/
For
I
haue
not
forgoten
that
thou
saidest
here
byfore
/
that
thys
manere
of
bataylle
holdeth
in
party
the
nature
of
a
plee
/
wherby
it
semeth
that
he
that
calleth
that
other
ought
to
begynne
fyrst
to
smyte
/
For
so
moche
I
wote
well
of
the
manere
of
a
plee
where
as
I
haue
often
assayed
hit
and
hathe
cost
me
/
that
he
that
is
actoure
/
that
is
to
wyte
/
partye
playntyf
gyueth
and
sheweth
first
hys
actyon
and
demaunde
and
after
the
partye
deffendaunt
ansuereth
therupon
/
and
bycause
that
in
this
doyng
here
yf
he
that
is
accused
shulde
smyte
fyrst
/
thenne
shulde
he
seme
to
be
partye
playntyf
and
not
partye
deffendaunt
/
For
it
is
noo
deffense
that
cometh
afore
the
stroke
/
but
it
is
offense
/
dere
loue
how
well
that
thy
raysons
ben
consonaunte
/
Neuerthelesse
it
behoueth
to
be
doon
here
in
thys
caas
by
another
manere
of
waye
/
than
as
a
plee
is
rewled
where
as
it
is
there
exploytted
by
wordes
and
here
by
waye
of
dede
/
And
therfore
/
where
as
a
man
is
in
parell
of
deth
he
ought
not
to
abyde
after
the
fyrst
strok
For
suche
a
stroke
myght
be
so
heuy
and
so
grete
/
that
to
late
he
shulde
come
for
to
deffende
himself
/
And
also
alle
ynoughe
hathe
begynne
fyrst
of
all
he
that
calleth
the
other
whan
he
fyrst
dede
caste
hys
gage
for
to
be
fyght
that
other
in
a
champ
of
bataylle
/
And
yf
att
a
iugement
the
playntyf
shewyth
fyrst
his
actyon
it
is
but
by
wordes
wherof
is
gode
chep
ynoughe
/
or
by
a
lytel
wrytynge
/
So
is
it
not
so
parellouse
a
lybelle
or
a
rolle
as
is
a
strok
of
an
axe
or
of
a

after
that

eyther

his

/
nother

careth
not
how
grete
hurt
that
he
doeth
to
his

And
therfore
I
telle
the
that
in
thys

after
all

be

in

For

he

repente

rules

the
first
rule
is
this
:
that
noo
prince
seculer
to
th
ende
he
doo
not
amis
:
al
be
he
neuer
so
prudent
nor
so
wise
what
soeuer
gode
counseyl

knights
&

seculer
men
that

not

regarde

of

men
of

bi
cause
that
of
al
causes
that
may
hap
to
fal
/
they
can
determyne
muche
bettre
than
other
folke
/
For
theyre
connyng
sheweth
&
techeth
them
the
same
/
soo
apparteyneth
to
them
for
to
declare
of
the
causes
what
therof
is
to
be
doo
/
and
whether
it
is
●
thynge
reprouable
/
forboden
/
condempned
or
aproued
&
comendable
/
Or
whether
one
cause
be
preuyleged
bifore
another
/
&
that
thys
be
true
/
that
suche
folke
whan
they
ben
expert
/
can
determyne
therof
bettre
/
than
other
doo
/
the
lawe
cyuyll
doo
graunte
the
same
/
the
whiche
saith
that
the
aduocates
are
protectours
&
rulers
of
al
humayne
folke
/
yet
is
there
another
raison
wherby
it
behoueth
vnto
them
for
to
determine
of
the
same
byfore
all
other
men
/
It
is
by
cause
that
knyghtes
&
other
gentylmen
are
sooner
moeued
for
to
swere
a
fayt
of
armee
/
than
clerkes
be
/
&
this
cometh
to
them
of
a
statute
that
they
●aue
amonge
hem
that
they
shal
repute
&
take
a
man
for
deshonoured
&
ashamed
/
without
that
he
soone
accepteth
thegage
of
him
that
casteth
hit
vnto
him
/
whiche
is
an
opiny●n
that
is
moeued
as
to
this
be
halue
sauf
theire
reuerence
without
eny
regarde
of
rayson
/
for
lesse
worship
shuld
be
after
ryght
to
him
that
shuld
gyue
or
accepte
a
gage
of
bataylle
for
a
〈◊〉
cause
or
ocasyon
or
for
folishe
and
nyce
moeuynge
/
than
to
hym
that
shulde
refuse
yt
/
For
without
faylle
it
is
noo
dyssworship
/
but
rather
the
contrarye
/
For
to
refuse
&
not
consent
to
eny
folyshe
enterpryse
/
spe●yally
where
as
so
dere
a
catell
hangeth
in
parell

is

Yf

Soo
fyght

thenne

thy self
al
one

For
as
for
me
I
wyl
not
be
partener
of
thy

/
The
seconde
rule
that
the
prynce
oughte
to
kepe
in
this
byhalfe
it
is
/
that
thoughe
a
gentyl
man
shulde

haply
were
moeued
ayenst

for

for

prydefull
wylle
caused

trowyng
to
ouercome
and
putte
hym
vndre
&
he
to
be
the
bettre
enhaunsed
for
the

/
or
for
what
someuere
other
moeuyng
without

/
the
prynce
or
his
lieutenaunt
oughte
to

herupon
for

vndrestande
wel

For

there
be

theyre
grete
wordes

are
so
folyshe

this
al
to

falleth
vpon

to
consydere

what
the

&
what
manere
of

it
is

that

putteth

And
yf
it
be

that

saith
that
it
is

atte

Dere
loue

of
thees

that
by

fyrst
founde
by

that
the

I
shal
ansuere
to

/
thou
oughtest
thenne
to

in

as
for

in

ben
there
thre
dyfferences

whether
the
somme
were
made

ordeyned
of

not

is
the

of

the
whiche
is
deputed
for

dygnyte
Imperyal
/
wherfore
who
someuere
is
emperoure
ought

bere
the

/
Item
another
manere
of

there
be
of
office
/
lyke
as
we
saye
Capytelers
of
Tholowse
/
the
whiche
duryng
theyre
offyces
doo
bere
armes
the
whiche
ben
of

deputed

ordeyned
for
the

offyce

Semblably
the
Consules
of
Mountpellyer
/
where
namely
yf
eny
assemble
were
there
made
of

/
noone
other
armes
they
myght
not

suche

wythout

they
shulde
not

Semblably
in

ben
appropred
one
manere

It
the

dyfference
of

Is
of

that
they

thou

the

he
bereth
the

thoo
that

And
semblably
it
is
of

soo
telle
I
to
y●
well

noone

By

moost
ryche

For

hem

Soo

And
the

bicause
that
the

of

is
veray
clere

resplendishyng
vertuouse

nyghe
dede
and
with

the

representeth
the
sonne
whiche
is
a
right
noble
lumynarye

And
the
law
saith
that
there
is
nothinge
more
noble
/
than

clarete
&
light
/
&
for
this
excellence
saith
the
scripture
that
the
iuste

&
by

Soo

is
azure

whiche
by

figure
representeth
the

the
whiche
after

for

penetring
subtyl

It
the

the
whiche
coloure
of

the

of
all
them
that
folowe

the

sath
that

&
this
coloure
of

reprepresenteth
the

whiche
after

It
that

colour
is
blak
that

sable

that
representeth

betokneth
sorowe
