When in combatt for Lyfe or other there be corporall hurtes geuen wch be of more or lesse honnor, or more or lesse praiseworthie
Ca. 8.
It happeneth sometimes in Combatt that one loseth his eie and the other his teathe, whether of them receaveth greater reproche In wch case it is thoughte yt because the eie is neerest the soule, it is more reprochefull to him that looseth the same then yf he had loste his teeth, Also the eie conteyneth all the sences of the bodie, & teeth be only instruments of the mouthe, yf a man be hurte on ye face he receaveth more dishonnor then yf he were wonded on the breste, the heade, the armes or the sholders, for the lawe saith that the face of man is the similitude of God, and for this reason a man maye not by iustice be burned on the face, for not disfiguring the devine image, yf the right eie be lost in battle it is of greater reproche, then yf it were the lefte, because the right eie is in the better opinion of men. In like manner we saye that who so loseth his right hande in battle is more reproued then he that loseth his lefte, by reason the right hande is more apte & necessarie, so yf in fighte one be hurte on the arme, & the other on the legge, the honnor shalbe awarded accordinge to the dignitie of the member yf it happen that two gentlemen doe fighte, the one havinge two eies and the other but one, yf he that hath but onlye one doothe lose the same, he shall receave more reproch then yf the other had loste one of his. Yf a man loseth his whole hande he is more dishonnored then he that looseth one eie, and yf happelie one loseth a hande and the other a foote, he that hath lost his foote receaveth moste reproche.
