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 to far as the launce is discerned to have passed tho:
roughe. 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 if 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 ther:
fore 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.
