An agrement beinge made betwext two, to fighte on horsbacke, & that whosoeuer receaveth most woundes or that worste performeth his parte shalbe reputed as victored It happeneth that at one encounter the one hath his eie striken owte wth the sliuers of the broken launce. And he beinge thus berefte of his sighte doth hurte his aduersaries breste & shoulder so far as the launce is discerned to have passed thoroughe. In this case the question is whether of them ought to enioye the victorie. It semeth that he that was hurte vppon the breste so far as the heade of the launce was seene to passe thoroughe his sholder receaved two woundes at once the one on the brest the other on the shoulder. One the contrarie part it maye be alleadged that he yt was hurte on the face was wonded vppon a more worthie member in deprivinge him of an eye, wch is a parte of a man most delicate. And therfore he deserueth greatest honnor, also because this blowe was geven vppon the hiest parte, the commendacion shold be greater. ffor the brest & the shoulder in reguarde of the eie semeth of lesse valewe. ~ . ~ .
In fighte betwixte two gent. theone hath his eie put owte the other his nose cut of. wch of them deserueth most honnor.
Ca. 25.
