Baldo saith that a man havinge but one eie & that blinde sholde be accompted as vnprofitable. We reade of Hanibal who in passing the mounteines of Bologna thorough extreme Colde lost an eie and nevertheles afterwardes performed sondrie great exploits against the Romains to his eternall glorie & fame. The ghospell saith that better it is to goe into Padadiso wth one eie, then to be tormented in hell wth two. The losse of an eie bringeth no extreme miserie, because the lawe dooth not disallowe any such man to take vppon him office, neither shall he be accompted as imperfecte. ffor thease resons, it semeth that to lose a Nose is the greater dishonnor because the face of man beinge the similitude of God, by losse of a nose is deprived of bewtie, as by no meanes either it may be recovered or hidden. Wherfore as it is a greatr deformitie for him to lose a hande, that hath but onlye one, then for him that hath two: So Baldo saith it is the greatest paine yt may happ to lose the nose. ffor who soeuer hath diuers sonnes may wth lesse greif loese one, then he that was father to one alone. All the common opinion of men is, that to lose a nose is the chefest reproche and iniurie that can chaunce to a liuinge man. To lose a hande a foote or an eie, is not so great a reproche as to forgoe a nose because the wante therof is most apparant. And therfore a man beinge an offender is not adiudged to lose his nose vnles for somme notable offence, because he shall beare his token of eternall shame vppon his face, wch cannot be revered. Federico in his constitucion saith that the losse of a nose is a severe & terrible punishmente, & is vsed commonlie to weomen for the dishonnest acte of adulterie. Therfore it semeth that he that loseth his nose, receiueth the greatest dishonnor, notwthstanding he hath deprived his aduersarie of his eie. But when like Chaunce dooth happen the Iudge may dispoze therof as shalbe by him thought moste conveniente, thought in mine opinion in respect of the circumstauncs the dishonnors be equall.
